hello all, a little about myself
name: Justin
age: 21
occupation: us navy
current cars: tangelo orange Honda s2000
past car: jdm Silvia s13
reason for joining: recently had a kid and the s2000 doesn't have room for a car seat

anyway I'm looking for a evo 9 so i can get my kid around always loved them but will never replace my s2000

note: I'm currently on deployment and wont be buying for a few months just trying to get some information on them.

 

Yea i want S2000 bad.. but the 2 seater thing kills me... Good luck on the evo hunt!

 

yea i love my s2000 im about to start a turbo/wide body build

 

got my evo yesterday

 

Congrats on your Evo. Looks like a nice clean stock Evo. What upgrades do you have planned?

 

I still need to look into what exactly it has in it ( papers I found in car say there's a exedy stage 1 clutch an light wight flywheel ) but coming from the s2k tithe Evo the rev feel heavy lol

As for planed upgrades i just plan to clean it up some more like all the body blemishes and engine bay ( tuck some wires)

 

it feels heavy cause you've got more HP and a Tubro...........haha I'm sure your not complaining when that turbo spools up around 3k

 

for now it dose i got a gt3582r sidewinder settup with an act 6 puc about to go onto the s2k

i love the evo but i would rather drive the s2k any day (untill it rains or snows)

 

welcome to the club

 

S2k's are nice and grippy, specially if you can reduce the weight. Do you autox?

 

i never really had the chance to auto x becuse of work and now that im doing the turbo its not going to be a good setup for auto x

 

why woudln't it be good? more power with all the handling? it's not like your adding a ton of weight to the car that it'll throw everything off. It's actually gonna make you a lot faster, just need sticky tires to get your wheels from spinning.

I've done it with a 240sx and it was fun. After awhile I just started drifting around the track haha It was fun. I can't wait to take my Evo to autoX, not that I have a car made for it.

But yeah, just cause you have a turbo, don't think that you can't do autoX, and usually SCCA or local groups have it to were it's cheap to join. Anyway, GL and have fun.

 

im in the same boat. had to sell my z06. now need a 4 door sports car. but finding one that i want isnt easy. good luck

 

The problum isn't thats it's going to have a turbo it more I. How the turbo is going to spool on a track it would be fine but in those tight corners with the s2k already impressing snap steer I would be spinning like a top coming out of the first turn


Also turbo s2k on track or auto x duty like to overheat and requre alot of cooling modification that gets expensive
