Default New s2k owner. Longtime fanboy

Hello! Been a long time since ive been on a forum but ive been ghosting around here for info for awhile now and figured id go ahead and join.

My name is joseph,i live in the inland empire (socal) and i fell in love with s2k’s 8 years ago when i test drove one. Since then ive been in love but never thought id be able to get one, due to finances and the wife not being in agreement with it..,

well long story ahort last month i was able to purchase my dream car. (I know i know its just an s2k) but yes MY dream car.

Its a 2003 GPW ap1 with 120k mi. And from my understanding fairly rare black/tan interior.




With my other baby. 90 si hatch, b20 swapped project car.

Good afternoon guys, today I decided to finally make an account on S2KI. Introducing myself, I am located in Sarasota, FL with my 2001 NFR. My car instagram can be found @ honduhs2k. I am currently rebuilding the engine after a highway mishap leaving my cylinder walls scarred. My interests in the car community is car film and photography, but wanting to attend AutoX and track day events.

Hey,

I have never posted in, nor joined any forum before, ever, so I figure it makes the most sense that I join up and post here as a non-s2k owner, right?
I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Andy and I attended RTD Spring 2017 as @W00D 's passenger/ co-pilot/ navigator. I had a blast and vowed to return. So this year I am, but I'll be an impostor, driving my newly acquired Miata. Its my second Miata. My other one is a 1990 that is a dedicated autocross/track toy. Once they knew I was shopping, try as my s2k friends may, I could not be swayed to the dark side. I looked around for one, but finding a clean s2k in my area is not an easy (or inexpensive) task. So anyway, I will be rocking the Dragon (very soon!) in my 2013 pearl white Miata Club (hence my oh-so clever handle) with its big, dumb, happy face chasing you all down Ok, that's it. Carry on. See some of you in a few weeks!

Gorgeous color on that car. I was in the same boat as many of you a few years ago when I bought my first NFR 2004 AP2. Had to sell it due to financial reasons and despaired at the fact that I may never have a chance to own one of my favorite cars ever again. Low and behold on Christmas week of 2018 I went home with a 2005 Suzuka Blue AP2.

These cars have been dreams of mine every since they came out while I was in high school. For me to actually own them now I feel blessed.

Hi my names Paul and I'm an S2000 addict, I joined this group as I thought it could help me with my addiction

I've previously owned a blue S2000 (AP1) a few years back, it cost me the great sum of £4200 back then. It was a bit of a dog with the ripped rear window and a damaged roof but I replaced the roof with brand new one. Also had all the rust removed and the car undersealed. Unfortunatley not long after I had to sell it for £3200 due to moving home and the costs involved, regretted selling it ever since.

With saving up I finally bought another AP1 in the same colour and I've had her since Sept 2018. I didn't think I'd afford one again because of the prices going up so much.

As regards the new S2k it's having a few things done but will hopefully be a quicker project than the previous one.

Can anyone suggest a dual cat-back exhaust that will make the S2k sound more grumbly but not drone? from reading the posts the Skunk2 seems a nice option.

Also how do you guys rate the magnetic sump plugs off Ebay for £5?

Hi my names Ken and I just purchased my first S2K after spending the last year with the miata bug.I recently went on TURO and I found a 07 AP2 which got me hooked. I searched BAT initially but it seems that the premium prices and fierce bidding is the norm on low mileage AP1's and AP2's, so I have been on craigs's list daily and finally found a low mileage 02 AP1





garage queen which had an immaculate chassis as well. I also test drove the mazda miata ND1 and ND2 which didn't provide much of a visceral experience. I would really like to connect with fellow owners from the Olympia WA area.Thanks again!
