Hey guys i hope this is ok to do this here if not, sorry Im a noob. I have just recently put $$$ down on a 2006 EVo MR, I will be getting it on Friday ( sleepless nights till then) Just kinda new to anything DSM always had hondas. I am trading in my S2K for it so i know i will not be disappointed. Just really looking for any info that can be offered about just normal do's and don'ts with these cars. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks again for having such a info filled place for me to boggle my brain.

 

welcome aboard bro. How many miles did you get your MR? post pix and any aftermarket parts installed on the car?

 

thats interesteing Im looking to trade in my evo for an s2k lol. What made you wanna switch?

 

Welcome aboard and happy modding

 

Not to be argumentative, but I'm curious to know what's got you considering the switch? I've driven both. I really liked the build quality of the s2k. I think the evo is a much more exciting car to drive, though. To each their own, just would like to hear your thoughts.

 

I really love the roadster feel of the s2k and it drives like a go-kart. As for the evo it has awd, more room, and great car overall. Im not sure what to do yet but Ive recently driven my buddys s2k and really loved the way it handles and its a dam good looking car with the top down.

 

Congrats man! Here's are a couple do's and dont's : Do change all fluids when you get it, do check all belts and keep up with maintenance, do get a tune asap!! don't launch it over and over again, don't break the transfer case $ , as it breaks easily. Do post pictures !! :]

 

I had a S2k before my Evo, now I want another S Its not as fast as my modded Evo, but it was more fun to just drive around. Plus dropping the top on a beautiful day is a great feeling!

 

good luck bro........ its a whole different relm

 

thanks for the receptions guys it has only a turbo timer thats it luckily never been modded. To answer the question why swap, I love my S2K i am Honda at heart lol, but it boiled down to 3 things really, needed top replacement BAD almost time for clutch, and a little more room is the main thing, OH YEAH and it is just BADASS i cant wait to drive it. Thank you for all of your help and info i will definitly have a weekend of swapping fluids

 

this is gonna be a long day im leaving out in the morning to go get it ahhhhhhhhh

 

good luck getting any sleep tonight ...haha

 

Well guys i got the car finally on friday and HOLY @$#* i love it. Its like you gave the biggest crackhead in the world a dump truck sized crack rock, that is the the size of the smile i had on my 2 hour drive home. I would like to do the maintenence required so if someone could direct me to a part of the forum that has oils and lubes reccommended if possible i would very thankful as i said im a honda guy so i dont want to mess this beauty up. Thanks again for such a good welcome to the group guys

 

Congrat's. As far as oil I've allway used mobil1 oil and filter since I bought the car I don't know what everyone else is using though.

 

thanks for your input man
