Not likely as it's double demerits over easter and heap of cops about. Weekend of the 22nd is possible if the DDs are over.

Oh yeah, I was forgetting about that in view of the fact that I'm driving on my UK licence :) :)Quote:

can we have some pics and videos please:cool:
Be a MAN! do it
u wanna sell, im looking for a turbo s2000 atm, rather not do it myself :P
pm me!
Can't answer for Steve, and I doubt he's interested after spending the last 6 weeks putting it together but you never know.
And I'm not interested in selling mine, but out of interest, what would you expect to pay for a turbo S2000? Would you expect it to command more than an equivalent stock car, or less?
well it all depends on the condition/quality of the conversion. If its something sub-par u would expect lessm value. I suppose the main market for the s2k isnt really a modified scene, stock, relaible and warrenty are big factors i guess.
So you are hoping that Steve took a good condition S2000, spent a fortune turboing it and will now sell it for less than it was worth stock? Doesn't sound particularly likely to me.
Take my car for example. The market for a turbocharged S2000 is pretty small. Most people want originality, warranty etc. I guess if I had to sell it I've have to take a huge loss. But I knew this before I built it. And not being a complete idiot made sure it was a long term investment whose return came in tyre smoke and smiles.
So you might tell me you'll only offer $30K for my car but I'll just laugh and tell you to me it's worth a whole lot more and it ain't for sale. If someone offered me $100K for it I'd consider it, but I'm not waiting by the phone.
I'd imagine that a turbo S would probably sell for 5-10k more than a stock one? Huge losses in selling a modified car :(
if i was in the market to purchase a turbo S id buy a stock S2K and oversee the turbo install from A-B just for that personal sense of ownership and satisfaction.
This has gotten off track again.
Sigh.
