Good choice, nice upgrade. Lower that thing, it looks like a monster truck.

i did the same thing I still have my Ap1 S2000. and just bought a evo9. theyre 2 very different cars. Evo is so much faster and handles pretty good but the s2000 was probably the handling ive driven. but i havent driven the s2000 in about 4 months now lol. the Evo is too much fun.

Congrats! the evo has to blow the 2000 on performance and handling..Would have been nice to hold on to the other car for a DD. Trust me its worth the $$ you have spent and will spend.

welcome, start modding asap. if you can get the s2k to look that good, the evo should be a snap.

love both cars. Ive debated a few times of giving up my evo for an s2k but dont think I can pull the trigger.

In your opinions whats the pro's and cons of each car, since youve owned both? s2k are so easy to work on, and love the twisties.

if the advans count as a mod i already have those and i picked up slotted rotors with new pads so those are waiting to be put on...as for future mods, itll be done once i get some maint things done first

my opinions on them stock for stock

s2k pros:
top down
honda reliability
great gas mileage
very nice handling car
very fun
chicks love it

s2k cons:
top up
cold weather
lack of torque
cost of rear tires & how fast they go

this is based on my experience so far with the evo

pros:
fast as ***** right out of the box
awd handling is great
roomy
can be used all year round

cons:
steering ratio - can't pop Uturns if my life depended on it
gas mileage
altezza's & giant airplane wing
