If you are set on an AP2 later, might as well do option 1 and save for now. Money is not working or doing much sitting in a paid off car that you plan to sell regardless.

 

Well it's not that I'd be SET on an AP2 - but that if I got rid of the turbo I'd have to accept that the car would be slow and that I'd rather have the updated stuff and newer car. I'm not a fan of the AP2 wheels or rear bumper so that stuff would come off right away...

Does anyone know if the thinner Spoon or JDM headgasket is available anywhere? If I went N/A again it'd be nice to have a little more compression to play with.

 

i was always downtown about a year ago and i always go home and pretty much go to atlanta every other night ill be on the look out for a red s2k im in the navy up in norfolk, va i have military insurance and a clean record and all i have to pay is about 130 a month and im 19.

 

You are LUCKY!!! Have you been to s2katlanta.com or to any of our meets? I have been inactive for awhile but it's a really cool crowd and there are monthly mountain drive meets up in the mountains.

If I stay turbo - definitely be careful if you run into me

 

oh yea im lol at the bubrub guy the whistles go whhooo whhooo. you got some whistler tips on your s2k yet

 

Option 1, because you would only be waiting until the end of the school year.

 

#4

It's easier to negotiate for another turbo later than a new S2000. And at least you'll still have the car you love, even if it is slower.

Certainly not #2. Modding sports cars is a money draining affair that'll wreck any new marriage between young people.

Hell, I'm 42 and have finally tucked away enough emergency money to maintain my toys, yet I still caught a boat load of crap when my slave cylinder blew out and I had to spend $200 to get it towed from 45 miles away. It's not the one event that worries a woman (generalization, no offense to those gals who mod cars), it's the certainty that it will happen again...and again. And it will.

Do the right thing and spare her that agony until you can easily afford the hobby.

 

Option 1!

 

Where's option 5?

Option 5: Talk to my girlfriend and involve her in this decision, because otherwise she may end up being my ex-girlfriend. Especially if I choose option 2.

 

haha... mike has a good point. She has hated the car since I got it. I had an 00 civic si before this and she wishes I still had it - she's just not into cars at ALL.
