cool thanks. hey, i notice in your avatar, project sideways? are the s2ks easy to drift? i have owned fwd all my life, now my first rwd is fun to drive, but im still learning.

whats the best way to get it sliding sideways? (first mods? etc)

i was planning on an AEM V2 first, and then just chilling a whle with it until i learn it really well.

thanks for the welcome also.

i know its hard... but its sooooo damn fun. ive ridden once... and loved it. of course its best to learn in huge empty parking lots right? with cones... ?

what should i upgrade first also btw... i was thinking:

1st=intake
2nd=rims/wheels&tires
3rd=cf hood/trunk/wing
4th=cf or black hard top

then get into exhaust, header, or maybe FI... etc...

my final goal is 500whp total... on pump gas (91)

and hey, the RSR s2000 was meant to be sideways! lol... i agree tho, its bad for the car right... so ill be very good to it... imma baby it for now... it only has 4114 miles on it... thats HELLA good for a 2003

Cheap, but vulnerable to water ingestion.

lol, ok, i cant afford track day after track day. tires are expensive as hell for this car!

im going more for asthetics for now... making it look good, then, ill go into making it fast.


what are the pro's con's for an AEM V2 intake system on this car?

what would you recommend then?

i had the v2 on my old eclipse, and never had hydro problems... aem's website says that the v2 has built in hydro protection...


CRAP im a n00b and i can only have 5 posts a day! this is my last one then!!! crap!

Delete your other posts and play on.

"Built-in" water protection? I'm guessing it's the little valve in between the two pieces, but that doesn't come with the standard V2 kits. Correct me if I'm wrong.

bwahahaha, cheating the system!

no, on the v2, on their website (aem's) it says it cannot suck up water, the put tthe v2 in a bucket of water and it didnt suck up a drop... idk... ill proabaly get the hydro thingy just incase.... its only like another $20... and a new engine is what? lol

what do you guys recommend i do to it first? what are a few common things done... quick easy cheap upgrades to make it better than a stock one....
