Hi everyone, a new owner here in Durham, NC. Just picked up a 2003 in Silverstone over black, 48k miles. Very excited to join, I have had several BMW's (solid cars but too expensive to maintain), and one NB Miata (fun but a toy). I hope to keep my AP1 for several years, it will be a daily driver but I only drive 6 miles to work. Its not uncommon to drop the top here even in winter. I look forward to learning a lot from members, and if there are other members in the Triangle area. Thank you.

Hello all,
Thanks to a careless Prius driver, I had to leave the Miata world. I loved my Mazda, a 2001 NB. I was planning on moving up to a Miataspeed Miata with the settlement money. Craigslist kept tossing many choices in my price range at me Porsche and BMW didn't seem realistic on my budget. Toyota MR2, too hard to find an unmolested and low mileage example. Also, I'm tired of relying on Uber. Now I'm ready for an S2000. I will probably lurk more than write on this forum. I've been taking in this forum these last few days. Thank you. Anyway Happy Thanksgiving and I'll be in touch!

Greetings Dan,
You might have better luck posting your inquiry in the Georgia S2000 Owners subforum. Good luck!

Greeeeting... I just picked up a low mileage 2006 Suzuka Blue. It has to make its trip from WI to TX before I have my hands on it. Hopefully it will be here mid December. Can't wait to drive it though.

I come from the VW/Audi/Porsche scene but my first car in high school was a Honda CRX.

I'll be posting updates on IG NEXAP2

Default New S2k



Just purchased a “new to me” 2001 new formula red with about 105k miles. It was owned by an older gentleman and parked (sadly) out in his yard. I’ve been fixing it up for a couple weeks and am pretty happy with the results so far. Had a bad idle problem with misfires so I pulled the throttle body and IACV and they were full of carbon buildup, etc. runs likes too now and I love the car!

Hi everyone!
I found this board some days ago when I was looking for parts and track/motorsport info about the S2000. I'm a rally driver from Germany and active in motorsport for over 16 years. I was rallying with a BMW 318is E30 and a Renault Clio 3 RS.


Clio 3 RS Rally


I am planning to go for a rally-S2000. There is only one other rally-S2000 in Germany right now. A friend of mine is racing one at autocross events with big success.
As soon as I start with the build there will be a project thread

Hey everyone,
Thought I'd introduce myself, just joined the club with a Silverstone 2005 Black interior, 115k miles, but completely stock. First car in my name, but I've been daily driving a CJ7 1985 (On the more impractical side, I know,) but it's been a passion project that my family has completely restored. I'm an 18 year old, but I've had my eyes set on the S2K as early back as since I was 12. I really want to become involved in any scene or clubs in the north GA area. Nice to meet you guys.
-Alec
