everyone wants an s2k

[Pete92SL]

THAT is an S2000 engine? hmm......

Well it would be a great idea if the guy had done a M conversion rather then taking out a good German engine for a Honda engine..

Yup!! I would love to have a S2000 for next summer! Time to start saving!!

[RiceCake]

Is there some secret competition to place the s2k engine into as many vehicles as possible?

I mean the engine in the ae86 was already a bitch and a half to install on that, damn I wonder how much time and rhetrofitting it would take to put that setup into a bimmer

[shadowz]

That was kinda stupid and a waste of money

[James]

Thats messed up, must have taken ALOT of custom work.

In a Right hand drive car, with the Shifter on your left, is the Gearbox the same as a left hand drive car?? ....does that make sense? like we shift left----right, is the gearbox the same, or do they shift right----left, just curious, probablt sound like an idiot

[Evan]

James,

Funny thing I was thinking same thing a couple days ago. I believe they shift left so the first gear is closest to you and the last gear is farthest.

Agreed.

That BMW looks pretty old, what year is it?

What would you buy between a Z3 and an S2000? I dont know if I would want to drop 50-60k for a Honda, but if I test drove one, it could change my opinion.

[Redlyne_mr2]

the s2000 engine into the ae86 was much cooler..thats pretty lame

[trendkill]

That is the dumbist thing i have seen a person do to a BMW.

and MAX, if u put that in your car u will be even slower then u allready are, that motor has like such a low torque rateing to push your 4000 lbs car would take a miracle. dont worry man, BMW's are for pimpin in, unless u have a M///

[Yellow_Fly_Red]

What a total waste of money..!!!!!
should used all that cash and put it towards deposit on the last generation M3 (1994-2000 model) or just buy a newer bimmer...!!

[redline]

engine pic kinds looks photochoped?

[4wheeldrift]

Wow, now you've got a torqueless motor in a really heavy car. Great idea, why didn't I think of that?

[SilverStreak]

Say what you will, still one of the best engines in the world.

An S2000 is an enthusiast's car. A Z3 is a rich old lady's car. Are you an enthusiast or an old lady?

The S2000 is lighter, more powerful, faster, handles better, has a great shifter, and one of the world's best chassis designs. What does a Z3 have? "Legendary" Bavarian reliability aka breaks down a lot and costs a lot to fix. But it's definitely more pimpin to have the blue and white badge...bah

Hell yah
One of the best displacement to HP ratios ever made.

[Zephyr]

u buy a luxury car that costs a lot more than a s2k and u drop an s2k engine in it....where is the logic in that....
