Nice pickup! A shame the s2k fell through (don't know why) but these are fun cars & i'm curious with your modifying background what you'll do to it.

it fell through because i was paying more than the bank thought it was worth apparently and they wouldnt loan on it.

as far as modding... probably just some racelands and ebay rims.


kidding alex, i really have no idea as far as mods, turbo back for sure and an intake then maybe coils, but who knows.

Dave, anything you need help with picking or installing feel free to give me a shout, 2 years in I know most of the car's trouble spots and ways to make long installs simple.

nice pick up. I just got an s2k this week. pissed its raining today too.

What kinda s2000 were you trying to pickup?

I was kinda considering a miata before my purchase, but it was just to snug of a fit in the interior. Good luck with it.

Are you in the market for a hardtop? best time to buy before it gets cold. I'm not selling mine but I see some pop up for a good price every now and then.

i was looking at a stock 05 with like 18k miles, she wanted 19 for it and apparently the bank thought that was too much

thanks justin! it is super clean (although i dont think its ever been waxed and the interior is kinda grimy) i guess oakes will be getting a call.

I was stuffed in Alex's Miata and I'm only 5'9, so I don't know how you're doing it, Dave.
