i read that they were pretty rare, and realized that's why they had little to no information on it. it wasnt until my uncle loaned me a consumer reports book with the spyder in it.it had no data, which i thought was pretty curious. i considered almost every sports car out there and exhausted myself looking on the internet everyday. on average they were more expensive and less appealing to the eye, to me. I never drove an s2000 but considered one when I bought my spyder. Guess i have to go and drive them.i've been riding motobikes for a while, so want to get back into something low-weight, that's why the mr-s and s2k came to mind. thank God for practically no law enforcement in the Middle East.ĩ2 E300- gave to my sister, who didn't understand that engines require oil to work. didn't know kit came w/ header and intake, though, thats a plus.Īny1 know what comes with the Hass kit? know it comes w/ greddy & base map, but thats about it. getting a power FC from a friend's project car that didn't end up happening.

The S2k loves to step out the rear under a hard shift. A counter sunk Voodoo knob does help though. The S2k has a better shifter stock but after you do a short shifter in the Spyder along with solid bushings the Spyder has a better feeling shifter. I am sure it is but the lack of torque even with Vtec doesn't make the car feel all that fast. The S2k has more power out of the box but IMO it doesn't really feel that much faster then the Spyder. I also have owned a Spyder for almost 4 years now. Boost is crazy, the back end can come around quite fast. That stuff aside, the car is fun as hell to drive with a turbo. Wheezy you say? Not if you can drive it correctly. PM Ike (he has a supercharged s2k and missed the spyder feel), he bought my other car.
