My parents had a party a few weeks ago. One of there friends showed up in a brand new silver S2000. I told him he couldn't park in the driveway and I would have to move it for him (he just laughed). I don't think my parents telling him I just recently got a speeding ticket helped either.

It's proly a good idea I didn't drive it though because I would have wrecked it or got another speeding ticket.

Think of it this way....

AEM Intake: $250+
Good exhaust: $700+
Good header: $350+
VAFC: $300

Total for all this is $1600 for maybe a 35-50 hp gain at the wheels, but for another 1200 you can have a decent turbo setup making maybe 100-120 extra horse at the wheels, plus you'll never run into a million other cars just like yours.

you should turbo it my friend has one and it so ------- fast but its all custom tublar manifold, t3/t4, front mount, e-manage, and the list goes on but he did it all him self so it didn't cost him any where near what it should.

My uncle has had one for awhile, he sells Hondas in California, so he gets a few deals. He had Comptech do everything for his car so far (they only deal with Hondas and Acuras). New exhaust, and a supercharger...couple other things too but I don't remember. The blower gave him 100 more HP! 340HP from a 2.0! It's awesome. The kit will run about 5000 bucks I think though. But hey, if you can afford an s2000, why not? Heh.

With an s2000 you might need to worry about warranty and stuff like that. That wouldn't be the cheapest motor to ---- up and replace. BE CONSERVATIVE. IMO
