I think he will be wanting somewhere where he can trade the MR2 in. I'll ask him, might be a bit far away as well.

very nice cars and have dropped in price

GT is more desirable

Engine is a riot with 240 BHP out of a 2litre with 9k red line

The gt comes with a hard top. Think maybe one or two other things but not totally sure. My mates got one and they are a lovely motor.

Mate there are only slight changes on the S2000's there are 3 types
S2000
S2000 GT - Same as standard but has a hard top
S2000 V Type (VGS) - Has a fancy looking steering wheel and the
VGS has a different steering ratio, which is much quicker.

On the 2002 model a glass rear window was introduced but this was only half the size of the plastic window.
Other changes have been things like colours, interior trim colours, different radio controls & chrome around
the headlights etc.

Also the 2004 models had bigger wheels 17" as apposed to the 16"

Engine wise nothing changes

AK - is that the one for sale on bookatrack.co.uk

weve been speaking to everyone and you can beat the standard inlet manifold, tb's are just for noise and show they wont get gains

but were aiming to get emerald management on ours, shift the vtec lower down the rev range and increase the torque and reduce and the bhp

9k on tb's here we come

I seem to remember the graphs AK posted up on here of his mates S2K and the TBs appeared to give a better spread of torque over the standard inlet...?

Nope not in the UK. The Australians and Americans have a 2.2 version although they get no extra power gains.
