first of all…the evo 2’s engine is much better than an s2000 because it can achive that HP at 2K rpms less than the s2k.
I wouldn’t be modding this car much at all… a highly strung 4cyl is hard to get more hp out off unless I would do some internal work.
IF i purchased the 2.3-16 I would put nice wheels on…clean up the body a bit…coil overs and an exhaust and call it a day and have a nice DD to cruise around.
I’d like to go overboard and do forced induction or maybe a stroker kit with some ITB’s or something…but i’d like it to be reliable.
I absolutly love these cars (the 2.3-16v…not the diesel) and although I am going to suffer a 80hp loss from my current car, I believe it will be a fun car.
