it broke a cv joint and smoked a clutch. If you consider that a major concern leave it stock and issues are solved. I think exactly the opposit, if thats the only issues that came up when they TRIPPLED the factory tq I call it one hell of a platform. And any 100% new platform is going to have bugs to work out, usually lots and lots of them. But its still a new car and not many have done squat to them to really test the aspects. So time will tell. ---

i like these cars, their lack of power makes me completely uninterested though. However, after seeing this it’s a pretty good setup i feel. brand new car 25k, motor work prob 7-8k with parts, turbo and associated parts 4-5k, so for probably mid-high 30’s you’d really have one hell of a car. that’s under the price of an sti, even a wrx is like mid/low 30’s now i believe (haven’t checked in a while). i do know they are coming out with an sti version, so we’ll see what subaru comes out with ---

Yeah stock trim they aren’t very quick but they aren’t meant to be. I bet they are still fun to drive though. Side note, every one I’ve seen though the driver seems to think they are in some kind of rocket ship. I do think they are one of the best looking affordable cars out there. ---

the s2000 is becoming the new honda civic. bunch of cheap asses gettting them for around 10k with zero knowledge, zero respect for the car, zero money for mods/parts, and complete disrespect for the s2k community. Never until this year have a had so many people want a $50 part and tell me to “hold it till friday when i get paid” or just complete lowball offers. This year starts the demise of the s2000, it’s very frustrating to me ---
