Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Zero torque with the s2000 but a wonderful 9000rpm red line. The easiest way to lose your license! Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3highline 287 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I know the standard engine has forged Pistons and steel liners I think, and stap a blower on with reliable performance but I'd keep it standard with BMC cda a quiet cruiser You seen the videos on YouTube of them pushing 700bhp on a standard engine lolBut then a mk3 with 24v and haldex be fun too Edited March 10, 2015 by Mk3highline Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Drove an S2000 a little while back I think it had an apexi exhaust and intake.......that noise!!! Talk about make the hairs on your neck stand up! Mega annoying at low revs though! D11PS and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Paular 112 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Raddo would be my choice.Drove a couple S2000s and my old man had one for a while, great car but I found it way too cramped if you are over 6ft.All good suggestions so not the worst dilemma to have.Happy shopping!

Gwr corrado 189 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I went to buy a rs 4 when I got my evo 8 . It wasn't the purchasing cost that put me off but the running costs . People say evos are bad pfft try an rs4 you need deep pockets . Bloody good cars I think though . I do like audis Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 How much for an oil service on an evo8. That put me off buying an evo6 a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites
Gwr corrado 189 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Oil changes ain't to bad mate tbh . Oil is th blood of the engine got to use quality stuff . It was the cost of a set of decent race pads and disks on a rs4 that put me off . I'd love one tbh they really are stinking bits of kit , a mate has the rs6 with the lambo engine in . Last summer in Spain 5 up 180 all day lol it's had a few tweeks and doing around 750 bhp only down side it's an auto . I bloody hate autos !!! Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
