Eh up chaps,

I'll be working in the states soon for a while so thought I'd buy a car whilst over there. There are a few cars that take my fancy but S2000s are top of the list at the moment.

I've been reading about turbo conversions/supercharger conversions and they look great. The turbo cars are putting out 320whp (must be around 400bhp at the crank) with just bolt ons, is this a load of bs or what? Sounds like a hell of a lot of power to me. Although terminal speeds seem to be backing up these figures.

Has anyone had any UK experience of these kits?

I want a car that I can modify, I'm still a boy racer at heart! I know how good the S2000 is in standard form, but like I say I want to play around with whatever car I buy. It'd be rude not to take advantage of the cheap parts in the US

Thanks for the links and info guys.

S2k's are £16k new in the US, that's Clio money in the UK! Crazy.

Yeah I've seen them for $30k new after a quick search around. And another well specced one with 800miles on it for $29000, I can't wait now. I'm thinking Vortech supercharger with intercooler and stand alone ECU
