All anyone comes to shop asks about is more power... it is hard trying to convince people that they need to upgrade or even maintain those things.
If I have to relieve my customers of some cold hard cash so that they can be safer than so be it.
Well I have the AP-1 S2000 the 2.0 litre 9250rpm red line
The AP-2 replaced it 2003-4 and had the 2.2 litre with 5lb more torque and a lower red line 0f 8850. Honda also softened the suspension in response to many tail happy moments in the AP-1, this made it a bit more user friendly. The brakes a jaw droppingly good, the were unchanged in the 10 years the car was in production.
If I were to put a turbo, I think I would just look at stiffer front springs. Alot of my S2000 club mates think if you go this route, larger rear tyres will help keep the cars backside in check.
Me? I just love this cars old school nature. 1200kgs, 255 bhp and it will
bite you if you get it wrong
