well eamo just did, and I confirm!! Eamo, you should try Z3M coupe, should be about the same money and There is a lot of guy switching from S2k to Mcoupe joining our french club. only down side in Ireland, it's a 3.2L so tax is much more than honda 2.0L. Did you ever consider an elise? |

I've had a good razz off an S2K and it was mental, partic when you get them into the 6-9,000 rev band. Dropping down to 'affordable' money @ the moment too. early ones were meant to be evil handlers on the limit, but you'd drive around that. great dash, driving position, sound, go, ride, balance.. can ye tell I'm a fan? (ditto the NSX!)

I think the Elise - although brilliant in their own right - are a bit gay but you could also argue so is the S2k. The power band between 6 and 9k rpm is savage and the one I drove had rwd! I have 3 other e30's at home in various guises so I wont be leaving Im afraid! |

The engine has got to be one of the best in the world. not a bid retrofit for an E30!

Ouch.... A chap I work with has one and I might just point him in the direction of this thread! Seriously though, they are a bit manic and the rear end behaviour makes the e30 look positively saintly. The torque doesn't make an appearance until 5-6k rpm so you need to make them scream all the time to get anywhere. The novelty of that is wearing off for him a bit I think. For this reason, it may be available in the coming months. Not too cheap either.... |

They're all RWD and being Hondas they'll probably average about 40mpg!! Check out Mugen to see some tasty bits for the S2000 (hope your Japanese is better than mine) or King Motorsports which have some nice Mugen bits (in English)! |

I dont really believe Eamo will sell, although i'm sure he'd get plenty of good offers. The LHD is the only thing that puts me off cos its a great investment. Saw a beautiful e36 M3 for sale in Limerick on carzone. Its a bit pricey for a '94 with 92k on clock but appears to be pristine with every receipt and very high spec. Has to be re-registered so €12k+ might be a bit steep.

Eamo - how many cars have you sold over the last few years?
Adding another one won't make much difference as presumably you will be back looking for another E30 soon! |

Well in that case, time the S2k purchase for April to September, so you can drop the hairdresser hood & work on your tan! (there's a lad looking for an E30 M3 on one of the other forums...) |

I wont say i'm angry, just disapointed! Sounds good Eamo, I'm sure I'll soon be bored of my M3 cause I haven't seen it since the last track day ! what do you reckon your M3 is worth ? I'm hearing figures around € 14k for mine/yours type spec !
