I went from my boosted EH2 hatch to a S2000. Handling wise I LOVE it. Speed wise its alright. LOL I'm boostin the S2 very soon though. So I LOVE IT.

 

Ive had 3 civics over the years (JRSC EM1, b16 ED6, and built B16 ED9) and the S2k is by far the most fun ive had in a honda. I loved all my civics and definitely had a great time in them, but none can match the way the s2k feels bone stock.

I personally felt (after owning an S2000) that swapped civics were simply boring. Something about front wheel drive cars, even with high power, just does nothing for me...i mean there are some quick civics, but really, once you drive an actual performance car, you'll understand then why most people sway away from the civics and integras of the world once they've owned an actual sports/performance car.

 

I still have my swapped hatch. I find it very hard to part with it. But once my s13 boost project gets off the ground, it might be something I might have to consider. S2K good for cruising, hatch good for beating on at the track.

 

my friend used to have an ls integra boosted, and he traded it in for an 04 S, and at first i thought he was nuts as i had just boosted by B16 eg. But then he let me drive it, and now id trade my hatch, and cash any day for an S.

 

Had a fully built b18c-r in my Sol. You're comparing apples to oranges. Hands down the s2000 is a different class of car all together.

 

i had a 00 civic with a type r swap in it ... few mods ... and the s2k is right there with it in terms of speed ... as for handling and the looks ... it cant be compared ... only thing im seeing negative is im scared to do anything to it in fear i might break something or regret what i did ... prices are a lil higher too ... and not as easy to find ... as for the gas mileage .. i get the same with my S as i did with my modded civic ... get the S you will love it

I second that but fwd is fun every once in a while but RWD&gt;FWD anyday!!!!

 

Thanks. I drove an 02 yesterday for about 30 minutes. I really loved it and pretty much have my mind made up to get one. I appreciate all the input. It sure is a whole different beast handling wize, really fun.

Props to Honda-tech

 

drive the civic in reverse then race it.. just like an s2k

 

i almost sold my turbo gsr thats mint for an s2k.. i changed my mind cuz i decided im not ready to move on and leave my baby, the s2k is a wonderful machine, just drive one and ull instantly fall in love.

 

I had an eg with b18c swap... sold it and got the S, one year later got another hatch. I have both now, the S isn't the greatest dd. In terms of power you can't really compare the S to a hatch with a built motor, plus parts for civics are dirt cheap. If you drive a lot, don't sell your civic. you'll regret it later on

 

I'd rather drive an S2000 daily than a lowered modified civic...ride quality, though brash because its a sports car, is leaps and bounds better than a lowered honda civic or integra.

 

I had a 3oo+ hp civic and went into a s2ooo. Then only think I miss is the torque steer when full boost hits with VTEC


Might boost the S, but im not sure yet.


You won't reget the getting the S

i hated torque steer.....my honda car cycle went...ef (d16y7 + boost) then dg (b16) then s2k. I will not miss them, except for the practicility and the gas mileage.

 

I came from an '00 Civic Si with boltons, a CRX with a built all motor B16, a GS-R with bolt ons, and a Type-R with bolt ons.

Honestly, I'm thinking of going back, you might find my S for sale as soon as next week.

The S2000 is an amazing car, I've never felt anything like it. RWD is fun, the handling characteristics of the car are like clockwork, very fun to drive. It's pretty quick, nothing crazy, but it's certainly not slow. Convertables are awesome, too.

The only reason I'm going back (and this may help you with your decision) is that I'm a 20 year old college student. My car is paid for (I bought it cash) and so is school (I have my parents to thank for that), but money is tight for me as I can only work part time and the S isn't exactly cheap. Gas milage isn't that great, and I'm always worried about breaking something. I don't beat on it at all, if I were to mis-shift or do something stupid I would be screwed because I wouldn't have the $$ to fix it. I can't really afford to do anything to it and pay insurance at the same time, I've amassed a handful of parts in the past couple weeks but I'm working so much I haven't had time to put them on

Not to mention practicality, I live in NY, Long Island to be specific...and I don't have a daily driver. If it snows, I'm stuck at home

The 2 seater thing is great, that's never bothered me about a car, (not my first 2 seater).

I'm thinking of either buying another Integra and boosting it, but I don't want to get a car and dump a bunch of money into it.

First thing's first, I'm selling all the parts I bought. If I keep the S it's going to remain bone stock.

Hope I helped, if it didn't at least writing all that down helped me
