It's funny how ppl comment wrong section and not knowing that some of us has been around for so long. We was driving evo while they was still in diapers haha. The scene has changes and I barely post much now days. This forum is slowly dying haha. Alvin, glad to see that your still In the game. I had an ap2 once but it' wasn't comfy for me. Ever consider getting into an NSX? You won't regret it I promise lol. You have good taste in cars tho that's for sure.

Yea, the going fast bug gets to me too much. I dont enjoy the car like I used too, went too far with mods etc. Id love to just get an s2k with some wheels and do a nice suspension so it handles well. Intake, exhaust and a tune and drive the **** out of it lol.

Coming from a former Honda guy, I can dig this car.

haha thanks bro - I guess they don't see my sticky DSLR thread in this forum. I just figured I'd reach out to my old school friends on EvoM better this way. Perhaps I should post some pics of my 9 and X for them to verify my standing with the Evo community. Still miss my 9 MR all the time! I see a lot of forums sort of dying too - too much young blood and not a lot of activities.

As for the NSX that would be a dream to get an 02+. I definitely want to get one some day but still keep the S. The S has been my dream car since I was too fast too furious (LOL Johnny Tran) so I want to keep it forever.

Yeah bro. If you end up on the s2k side find me on s2ki. I can help you with suspension - I've done a lot of research and had different setups. Coming from my X which had 412awhp I know what to do with an S to not feel like I'm giving up a lot.

You gotta drive one for sure. A lot of people knock on the n/a 4 banger until they take one of them out for a canyon run.

It's amazing. I love my X and 9 MR because of how confident I feel in them, but there is a challenge and something amazing about RWD that's hard to explain. I can enter a corner quicker and I feel like I know the limit. Whereas with the 9 and the X I felt invisible and knew that the car would correct my mistakes for me.

Thanks bro, it's a beautiful drive for sure. When I want to destress I just drive out there and take in the beauty.

I don't care how long you've been around the forums - we have a section for OTHER CARS, specifically for non-evo cars. This clearly is not an Evo. Use the correct forum.

Relax. If any mod feels like this is not the right place please feel free to move it.

It's the internet bro. No need to get so worked up.

You mad? Lmao. It's just a forum buddy calm down. Ppl like you kills the car scene. Internet talk is always funny bc everybody is a mr know it all. That's why this forum and others are so dead now days. Too many kids thinking this camber and poke scene is cool.

But anyways Alvin, an nsx is a must. 97 or 02 would be some of the best years to get. I've driven my brother cars and ride in a family turbo nsx. They are nothing to play with. The rwd feel is totally awesome. As much mods as I've done to my evo. My brother nsx is never far from me. The power to weight ratio do wonders. Ive had my s2k for roughly 2months. I surely do miss it tho. Next rwd will be an nsx
