Its a friendly drag race for fun. Im up against an '07 350Z with the new 306hp motor.

He is breaking in the motor and in the meantime I'll save one weekend of going out and drinking to buy bolt ons and give him a little competition.

Guidelines are

- $200-$300 budget (the 1 weekend of drinking)
- Nothing that takes more than an hour to bolt on/off.

Yeah my car is a stock AP2.

Suggestions?

 

save ur $ n drive better

Nothing fits your criteria. Better off just learning to drive better.

 

k&n intake for like 240 bux

 

$300 in add ons to an S2000? This is an S2000, buddy, not a 1982 Honda Civic.

For $300 you can get a knock off spoon air duct. And gain about .9whp. That should put you well over the 350Z.

I4 &lt; I6.

Theres no replacement for displacement.

You may as well quit drinking all together and save up for an S/C or Turbo setup if you want to run with 350Zs.

 

your going to have to add another 0 to that munber man talking about the S

 

id say learn to drive the car better,... i raced a friends 04z with my friends ap1 , just by getting a good launch in the S, the z still wouldnt catchup or pass me at the 1/4 mile mark...

this was a stock z, the s had hks exhaust and aem intake

 

Add another $200-$300 and get nitrous.

350Z doesn't have an I6.

First, stop drinking so much on the weekends. That would mean at the minimum you are spending $10,400 on alcohol per year. Which is but anyway...

You can't buy **** for $300 for an S2000. Race your friend who is still breaking in his car, and then laugh months/years down the road when it breaks down @ 30,000 miles or whatever for redlining it when it was still being broken in.

pretty much

 

Some of you guys aren't that resourceful.

After reading different publications, I thought there wasn't more than a .1 or .2 sec difference in a full quarter mile between an S and a Z.

I had in mind a test pipe, drop in K&N, full synthetic oil change, lower tire pressure, spare tire delete, tranny fluid change and also (thanks S@ntos) practice.

 

yes practice is what will take him out...
many S owners say they have trouble with Z's yet i had nooo problem whats so ever with them . hell even a E46 M3 had trouble shaking me off... its all in learning the car and her shift points...

Thats what I thought. He might also take his gf along, I can also take the jump and I might "forget" to tell him to disable the traction control.

seriously dude....i have a '90 Civic....and I cant even get any horsepower for 300 bucks. save your money man...your gonna need quite a bit to keep up with the Z.

 

Get an intake....thats your best bet for 300

 

NITROUS

just dont blow the car up... wouldnt be worth it against a 350z.

 

test pipe is your best bang for the buck.

 

you can do intake and testpipe for 300, i did both of them for 100

But the bragging rights he'd have over his buddy is.

 

You can probably get a custom 70mm single done at a shop for $300. You won't have a muffler at the end of it though
