00 civic si or 03 s2k?
With five months left on the loan for the civic, i found a s2k. My question is would it be worth buying the s2k or building the civic?

Be well. Java

It depends on what you are looking for. The Civic will take a lot of work to handle as well as the S2000 (stock). But with a few mods to the S, the Civic will never be able to handle as well. If your not looking the do any autoX, its kind of a toss up between the two. The S wasn't really made to do strait line stuff, so I would lean towards the Civic.

If you are having to ask, I would suggest the Civic.

Civics can be an awesome car and really do well at the drags and autoXing when set up correctly, but I can't really see people cross shopping them.

civics are good at drag racing????????? Something about the lack of weight transfer I dont like. Auto x what would you need to do to a civic to get it to handle as well as a s2000?

well i still have time to decide, i was just curious on your thought since i know jack about S2ks. My SI is at 94k about time for the 100k plugs, belt etc. my one concern with the SI, is that its burn alittle oil, about a quart every 3 months. I do drive it daily since my truck died, but i really cant decide on whether another 4 years in debt is better than fixing up the SI? I know that if i dont go through the engine before i drop a turbo into it i will pay later.

Many S2000's, burn that much oil as well. I think it comes down to how it was broken in. The cost of fixing up the Civic will be less then the cost of an S2000.

incections forever... i hope your joking about that question...
The S2000 is one of the most beautifull and slick roadsters ever to be on the road. Civic's are a dime a dozen. You can roll up in front of a club with your top down on the S2000 and be treated like a man, however if you were to do that in a civic, they would think your a little kid. S2000 ALL DA WAY! |
