Default What should my car bring? $$$?

Hey everyone, i will attempt to make this as technical as possible

some may and some may not know but my 98 gsr has 27k original miles, clean title, excellent condition...the whole nine. lots of high end parts and go fast goodies

I have been "offered" 4k MORE than what i paid for it 1.5 years ago. granted i put money into it but did not expect to get anything back from mods and tuning.

DO I: sell the car and get an s2000 on a small loan?
keep the teg and hope to get a good offer when/if i do sell
sell car and get a decent car and a beater?

thanks

i would also be interested in you guy's technical comparison between by car and a s2000. my #'s are in the sig

and here's a pic

yea once again its just a thought im kicking around since i can profit from it, which is very rare when dealing with cars...

mike, yea i bent one of the Works and popped the tire by running something over in the road - ordered the replacement and the huge 17's with 215 series tires should be coming off soon.

I would guess around 12k

An s2000 is a really nice car, yet car payments suck.

If you keep the gsr, sell the greddy kit & un-needed hondata.

Buy:
JG intake manifold
Full-race turbo kit with a gt30 a/c & p/s compat (for a stock b18c1)

If you really want to go fast, get some pistons/rods maybe sleeves

Good luck with your choice.

03 is the ap1 i believe

the ap2 is when the upped the displacement to 2.2l and lowered the redline to 8k which raise the torque for the stupid americans

japan still uses the 2.0 engine from the ap1 as far as i know....

well mtber...i was offered 16k on hondatech and would honestly laugh if someone offered me 10k. nada value is 11.8 STOCK...

and im not even going to ask why you think hondata is unneccesary because that is a can of worms i dont want to open and have seen the threads debating the different engine managements...
