I liked driving the few I have driven... but I don't think I could own one without some sort of force induction. The power is just too lackluster.

Be a man and slam it!



I still have function. Still make it over speed bumps and in and out of the driveway. There are many much lower than me that supposedly dd their cars too.

I've driven googlemeh's S2K. I absolutely love it!!! It's just such a fun car.
The only thing I see wrong with it, is it has no clock from the factory... lol

I'm sure he'll post in here so I'll let him tell you more, as it's his car.

I am on my second one. LOVE THEM. they are such a pure driver's car. Be careful though cause they will and can catch an unsuspecting driver who tries to push the limits. Drive within yourself. Throttle lift oversteer has been toned down through the years as noted with the change in spring rates from front to rear.

ft/rear in lbs
MY00-01 = 218/291 (raw ) tend to oversteer
MY02-03 = 240/230 less oversteer
MY04-07 = 256/207
MY08-UP = 274/225 some understeer
MY08 CR = 375/264

I have ground control coilovers with 425/400 rates. Pretty good balance, good street rates but not stiff enough for future track work.

Actually the model year 2000 only didn't have factory clock. The rest do.
