    I would get the S2000 fixed and just turn the boost down a little to keep it as a driver. It is a nice car and is unique and fast all at the same time. I know it sucks to throw money at something and it keeps breaking, but I would keep it and just enjoy it.Then concentrate on building the corvette. LS motors make stupid power and you don't have to spend a fortune. For instance, my old motor. Stock crank, $400.00 I beam rods, and a set of forged pistons, AFR heads. I could duplicate my old motor for 8 grand and add boost and you are making 1000rwhp!

    if i were gonna do that i would have never have bought this custum tranny and did a custom driveshaft and entire rear end. i only run 27psi. thats not a whole lot. but im already dedicated to try to be the fastest s2k in the world. i gotta just finish it now. im this close.

    the corvette is just my DD. i have bought an lsx block i am going to build. i dont know what im gonna put it in. if i can find a roller c5 that would be great. plus i think i can sell the s2000 for 35k (or reasonale offer) to the right person, i mean how many 4 cylinders cars can run 9sec with full leather interior and AC and radio and what not, i think 35k is fair considering you can not duplicate my car for near that. i put 60k+ in it and i did all my labor. it may take a few months, but someone is out there that has the funds and wants to buy it. im just ready to move on. im gonna enjoy the car while it is up for sale. but if anyone wants it. come get it

    Jesus. Sorry to hear about the troubles. You can continue to beef up everything but eventually you'll find the next weakest link. It's an expensive hobby. lol.

    Some1 posted a video of an S2k making 700hp on STOCK internals...is that possible?

    That would no longer make it a s2000. It's just a motor swapped Honda
