Hey all looking to get into an evo in the next month or two. I currently drive an 04 s2000 but need something bigger now. Going to look at an 03 with 32k on it today and i was wondering what are somethings i should look out for? Will be sad to see the s2000 go but excited for awd and turbo .

look at the radiator for bent fans, that means someone played with the turbo.

Best money spent is to take it to KevinD and have him do a pre-purchase inspection. I bet he probably already knows the car.

I sold my S2k to get an Evo too. I miss the S

'03's are notorious for rust spots and clear-coat peeling on the brake calipers and wing blade. For the most part though check it over like you would any used car and make sure the previous owner stayed current with maintenance and all the fluids.

Is it or was it ever modded? If it is or was you'll definitely want to check things over that much closer to make sure its not a hack-job.

I miss my S as well. Funny, but I was talking to one of my co-workers walking from the garage into the office building this morning, and he purchased a S2000 3 years ago, and now he is looking to supercharge it. I recommended the Kraftwerks supercharger kit.

Man with the amount of money I have spent on my Evo, I could have one badass supercharged S2000.

But to the OP, definately have Kevin look at it.

For me to came down to either buying the Evo or getting a GReddy turbo kit for the S. I liked Comptech's supercharger a lot too.

Thats why momma has the 4 door honda accord. Jessica liked the S2000 more than the my Evo, She says it was more fun, sporty, and the big one.....the top goes down, but yet she would always complain about the lack of space to put her purse anywhere in the cabin.

But lately she has been wanting a Cadillac CTS-V, yes, the new ones with 500+ horsepower. I'm like WTF! Where did this come from? But I think she would settle on the new Cadillac SRX.

Take that back...........She will have to settle for the SRX!
