That is the place to look! Lots of good deals there.

And @ drdamian...$15k WITH rims and a SC is an OK deal, not a fabulous deal when AP2s without SCs are going for not much more than that nowadays.

 

Yup. Keeping my eye out.

 

i got some pictures. let me know what you think. like i said, he wants 15 but could probably get lower. i didn't get a pic of the sideskirts or the rims. they are giovannis that i will switch out. it dons't have a suspension nor a big brake hit. thats the only minus. but it does have a complete veilside kit. comptech supercharger with after cooler . i don't have any pictures of the trunk either.

 

Too much stuff going on with that car imo.

 

not bad for 15k, but If you are planning on buying that car then you should definitely dump those kit, and get oem bumpers.

Definitely not feeling veliside kit at all. Too much stuff going on...

 

i agree with you 100%. if i get the car, i definetely will not be keeping the veilside body kit. it is a little to much for me. but at least it is a good quality kit. im sure i can get rid of it pretty easily. maybe even trade even up for an AP2 kit. the motor work is what i am impressed with and its got low miles. the car has never been rained on. its got a lot of pros, with a few cons.

 

Let me take a different tack.

Looking at the pictures, $15k is a fabulous deal for all the mods you get with that car. If you don't want the body kit or the wheels, another option is to keep looking, though.

 

You can probably sell the wheels and body kit for a good price. I say go for it. That supercharged setup probably costs a ton to install

 

As with 99.99% of Veilside kits, that one is horrifyingly disgusting. Glad you'd be ditching it... Someone went waaaaaaaaaay overboard with the whole stainless and blue urethane wire loom though. Jesus

Maybe its just me, but I'd rather buy a stock/nearly stock car and either do all the work myself or take it to people I trust to do every single thing. If he has paperwork and receipts from reputable shops then its fine, but I wouldn't trust some dude working out of his mom's garage (funny cause that's what I'm doing) no matter how skilled her is. If something goes wrong, there's no one to take it to. If you mod it and you messed up.... well, that's a learning experience. I guess that's why modified cars are usually a bargain when it comes time to sell them.

 

terrible kit.

My thinking about cars that have been modded is; they're beat.

maybe i am incorrect, but i may not be.

 

Hahaha.. I hope you don't think the RX-7 Veilside kit is disgusting.

 

the person that has this car took meticulous care of it. he has every receipt for all the work and the multiple dynos it has had. he has most of the stock parts. but he dosn't have the OEm bumpers or the steering wheel. He dosn't really want to get rid of the car but his wife just had a kid and he is forbidden from driving it. I am good friends with his friend that also has an S2K. his background is that he bought a lot of property in florida and had them as rental properties. he made a ton of money and pumped it into this car. he spared no expensive for quality or craftmanship. he wanted this to be a true show car. he has all the trophies he has ever won, i told him he could keep those. i will keep everyone posted. i need to convince my wife that our house is big enough and we don't need another bigger house and I can get the car.

 

He's getting rid of the wrong problem

 

I actually like that particular Veilside RX-7 kit a lot, except for the rear. But I don't like the famous Veilside NSX kit at all. and here's some more Veilside...








Kei Office, Top Secret, APR, etc. etc. > * > Veilside

 

Now there's a modded car I'd trust buying

 

i would say the same but his girl has some really big gazongas.

 

ROFL ... Can't really argue with that I guess

 

What kind of numbers is the car putting down?

 

Go do it then. It always helps if you know the owner or someone close to them personally.

 

he said it was around 300hp with a 9lb pully.. he was saying that he needs to add a voltage regulator because the cars volts drop when the car is off. if the volts drop to low then it looses the settings and needs to be reflashed . he said he called a rep from AEM (his fuel management) and they told him to do that. i was on s2ki and i coudn't find anything on it. if i wanted to buy a new computer to correct it, it would cost a good amount of money. he said the regulator was a cheaper alternative. does anyone have any knowledge of this.?

 

Go to the Forced Induction forum on S2KI and ask the same question. You'll get answers pretty quickly, as has been my experience. Lot of guys knowledgeable about standalone engine management there.

 

Veilside fortune kit is the only kit that I would rock, but god damn! would you pay $12k for that kit? plus install cost is another $2k.

Sick kit, but way too expensive.

 

I would rather find an all stock never modded S2K. Its nice, the build is backed up by recipts and what but youre already worrying about things. Find a newer AP2

 

Thinking about this.......any advice?

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

 

The only advice I can give is why the hell are you not sitting in it and owning it already

 

Yes yes yes!

 

Seriously, is there anyone in the Atlanta area that could go check it out and drive it for me? I'd be very appreciative!

 

omg that thing has a hudge turbo you would be saving alot for having it already modded for you

I say if you have the money go for it but I bet it will get you into trouble with it

 

nice s2k, but wrong section

i personally love the s2k's

 

uum, it's comptech supercharged and aftercooled.

with the hardtop that's a good price

i should know, i've been trying to trade my tsx for an s2k for almost 3 weeks now

 

Looks good to me... but being boosted with high mileage is something I'd be concerned with... it's got 95K miles on it..

 

too risky.

high risk = high return

up to you

 

^^^^^
I agree. Too risky.

It's a 2000 with 95k miles on it, with a blower. Was it tracked? How long has the SC been on it? Does the blower leak?

This car should not be purchased without a personal inspection, or mechanical check for compression leak. If you're in a different part of the country from the seller, move on to the next S. If you're in the same part of the country, look at it and make sure it's kosher.

And why isn't this in the official S2000 thread?

 

Supercharged S2k, very cool. CT is out of business now aren't they? On one hand I'd be wary of a 100k mi car with aftermarket blower, however if it is in good running condition, that think looks like it would be fun to drive. This would make a good weekend car, maybe not so much a dd.

 

very nice car, just seems like a lot of miles. not sure what to tell u to do. im looing at an 00 with 31K miles for the same price.

 

There might be a pricey 100K mile service needed also

 

Just had too.....

 

^^^^^^^
Hot color but that wheel tire combo

 

extreme negative camber

 

I love that combination.

The neg camber MUST be for shows, though...can't see how anyone can drive on that.
