I think people forget how hard it is to hydrolock a motor. The entire filter element has to be submerged under water for hydrolock to occur, which is a pretty hard thing to do. Seeing as he wont be driving it in the rain, it's a huge waste of money

yeah you need to go in like a foot of water and pretty much be on the gas to hyrdo lock the motor. once it get it inspected the test pipe wil go on, then thats pretty much it for performance to this car for a while. its moves pretty good as it sits and i am gonna focus on handling/apperance with this one. unless a come across a blower for a good price, lol.

Yea I've actually been doing a lot of research about s2k's. I think it might be my next car as well. What do they put down with i/h/e and a tune? Also if you need that inspection done let me know

from what ive read, the s2k engines are tuned very good from the factory, not many horises to free up.

yeah with i/h/e/tune they see like 220-230whp from what i've seen. gotta remember too there is more drivetrain loss in them compared to fwd hondas.
