Wow, that must've been a fast car. I had an '03 S2000 as my daily driver for 4 years. Suzuka blue. Miss that car, but my back does not.

That being said it was a great driving car. drove smooth and ver responsive.
I drive an '03 Forrester during the winter and owned an '02 WRX wagon and '01 Legacy GT wagon. I love how easy they are to get in and out of.

Why did you go turbo over supercharger? Seems like superchargers are more popular with S2000 crowd. Engine bay looks like a lot is going on!

My buddy also has a GTR and is a GTR tuner (for just about all of them in MA) and I can't imagine a car getting much faster than that. Truly amazing machine in terms of speed and technology. Maybe not the best looking car, but most will only see the back of it! His boss GTR is around 1000 hp I believe and I went for a ride in that once.

The debate over supercharger vs turbo on s2ks is like cc and nc . The turbo actually gets much better power down low and much hiher power at the top end. I track the car and wanted a quick spool. Plus this full race turbo kit is very reliable. I have over 40k miles on my setup with stock engine!

Who is your friend? Efi logica in danbury has done some work on my buddies gtr but most was done in chicago at ams ...he sent it to them to build and tune...aftermarket trans install from sheppard....

Funny, he was going to be a GTR in Chicago from a place that specializes in them. I fly through ORD twice a week and joked I could drive it home for him. He works Kaizen Tuning in Acton, MA http://www.kaizentuning.com/
