Down the road in south austin. Trying to keep my S2k stock for now. Wish someone would trade my ccw or buy them so I could put money towards my SC fund which is currently empty LOL.

Which air pump delete did you do? I have p1415 which I got the car with and may just do the resistor not sure yet

Unrelated: Finishing my degree @ texas state

You go to a great school! finest four years of my life. maybe.

you got your CCW on CL? i saw a set of 9.5+29 or something like that up for sale.

i did izzy's, was really simple. basically, i did some air box mods, f@#ked the vacuum routing for the secondary air injection valve and could never get it right. didn't feel like i needed an air pump or all the brass tubing either. would recommend. passes inspection no problem, ripped all that shit out. EGR valve is still there, its in the closed position unless activated, so i left it.


Omar, who guys by Shuluke on s2ki, is a North Austin s2000 owners that has a 04 with SOS SC that he is planning on getting rid of. you should PM when you get some funds.



spotted a GPW AP2 in lakeway at the post office and HEB. no front lip but factory rear spoiler. license plates was "YIIKES". nice car. but bone stock

There's no EGR in the s2k. That valve is for the air pump. It just opens to a passage through the head to the exhaust to help heat up the cat faster. There's almost no reason to remove the air pump setup. I was tempted to remove it to make room for a bigger water pump for the aftercooler but managed to make it all fit.

I'm selling my comptech supercharged 01 but I have no intention of parting it out. Bummed I never made it to one of the drives/dinners.

Yeah, I'll send him a message to see what he's thinking.

I sure am tired of all of the people with ridiculous offers for my wheels such as a straight trade for their curbed RPF1, just might have to upgrade here so I can sell them LOL.

I actually I just live in Hays county so emissions wont be so bad. I used to have a civic where it wasnt as fun come inspection time but I just cant have a cel.

put them up for trade on s2ki, see what you can get. but yeah don't settle. yeah austin is pretty much the same for emissions on ODB2 cars. as long as the stock computer isn't throwing emissions related codes, your good.

Its a bit more lenient in hays, I dont think they hook you up to the machine, they just look at your dash . My last car wouldn't ready so I would have several trips before I could pass while living in travis county.

The thing that blows hot air lol. Probably going to get the other kit though since the izzy kit requires soldering and my solder broke in a move and the resistor just plugs right in.

I don't know why, but I expected there to be a little more demand for s2ks in the Austin area.
