i mean i would do it in a heartbeat but my car is no where like near ur car where i put in hours of work and spent time building it up. i think ur car will be more unique next to a s2000 but damn, a s2000 is a s2000. you know i love that car.

but truthfully, if i were in ur shoes i wouldn't be able to do it.

Sell the car, and make out while you can.

THis market won't be around forever.

You've learned how to make a car on yours, now you can do the next car even better.

And, an s2000? Sure a nice car, fun (one of my very good friends has one)....but even in full bolt on range it won't be as fun as your sr car.

On top of that, mods are incredibly expensive! 750ish for a CHEAP header. 1200 bucks for an exhaust...just super super expensive stuff for them.

If I had 16k and had to do it again....

lets say there would be an FC or an FD with a LS1 in it....

Honestly if you dont sell that car for 16 grand you are stupid. The way the economy is right now no one has any money. I know that ypu love the car and all, but these opportunities dont present themselves that often. Id sell it and build another one.....even cleaner and better...S2000's blow ***, I hate them.....

I would do it, but only if i had enough money to invest in a s2k and tune it up nicely. But i saw ur build forum when i came to these forums not to long ago and i loved it, it would be a shame if you sold it becouse of all the work.

I say you keep it

If i bought an s2000 i would supercharge it.I would have about 3 or 4 grand to do mods to it. but if i sold it i would more then likely invest the money.

i emailed him some more today and seeing wahts up.

I really dont want to sell it. started putting the interior back together. and it is going be bad ***. plus i built it to have fun and run around wasting unsuspecting cars . so basically right now i dont want to.

but we will see if his next email changes it.

To be honest i wouldent do it with an S2000 in mind. Sorry ben gotta look on the other brighter side of things.

I would also say to either save the money or justinvest in something like stocks and try to make more money.
