New to this forum with S2k plan..

TestaRossa · 01-16-2007, 02:35 PM

Its been a long time since i wanted this car, just got my license.
here's the plan i came up with:
04+ S2000 in orange or yellow, then install carbon hood, trunk cover & wing, tein suspensions..
and maybe exhaust, intake later on, but i'm not sure which brand i should go with these two, so can anyone give me some advices?

Welcome to the site. If you are looking for an orange S2000, it will be a custom paint job. Honda didn't release Imola Orange as an option here in the States (assuming you are here in the States).

damn, guess i'll go with yellow then, or i'll have to delay my carbon fiber warp up~

If this is going to be your first car (since you said you just got your license), I would go real easy on the car for the first year or so. The S2000's handling characteristics can be tricky to novices, and it isn't very forgiving if you accidentally find yourself biting off a little more than you can chew.

Welcome to the site!! A piece of advice, if you are looking more performance save your money on the intake and exhaust. Other than that good luck with your S2000 purchase!

i've driven a EVO IV back when i was around 14 when i was still in China for a while...i think the s2k would be much easier to handle than that.

AWD is a lot different than RWD.

Welcome aboard TR.
As you haven't even picked it up yet, why not jus' leave it alone for awhile when you get it n' jus' get familiar with it. After some time with it you may have some idea of the best places where you'd wanna make changes, but to slate parts for disposal before you've even driven the car? 'Jus' sounds like you could wind up spendin' money that might be better spent elsewhere when you get some experience n' start sortin' it out.
Be well, n' however you decide to go, like the old knight said . .

Quite the contrary. The EVO is a great deal easier to drive, especially at or near the limit.

i wont be speedin' for money.. IMO, using the s2k for that is just a waste.
I'd go to laguna seca couple times a month to enjoy the ride, instead of some typical american style drag race...

the evo is much much easier to drive then the s2000

Actually, the EVO IV‘s AYC's very creepy. but the later ones got a lot better.

typical American drag racing......... nice we have our own style of drag racing. I learn something new every day.

Java Junky · 01-17-2007, 05:24 AM

I think that the "ownership" of drag racin' goes to the country that built the first two cars. You know that as soon as they gassed up the second unit they were droppin' a flag.
Be well.
