Yeah, the 2.0 with the upgrade "chip" that puts it at 180 or so hp would be great but the 1.5l doesn't look too appealing.

 

The 1.5L was pretty fun though in the sense that most of the time it could give you all it had even on normal roads.
But I agree it was not fast at all

Update in my search;

The miata is sold, so I can go and look at some S2k's
There were 3 that I liked. One is sold already. Another one I will go and check this weekend but it's a 6 hour drive unfortunately.
There is one pretty close to me however this is only third on my list because it has a lot more km (125000 vs 85000).
Another thing I find strange about this car is the S2000 badge placement.



Isn't it supposed to be on the same hight as the little side blinker? And a bit more to the left?
It makes me think that it got in an accident and whoever repaired the damage did not stick it back in the right place

 

Apologies for my earlier comment, just not into the "stance" thing.

Certainly looks like a front clip repaint, here is the proper location for the emblems.



Good luck in your search.

 

Side emblem

Just click the link above.

 

No problem, I understand that it's not for everyone
I've pretty much decided for my self also to ditch the stance and just go with coilovers at a functional height.

And front clip repair isn't necessarily a bad thing if done right correct? I mean my mx5 front bumper already needed to be repainted after 3 months when someone hit it at the parking lot.. I just need to make sure there was only body work damage and nothing more serious.

Thanks for the picture I'll stick it in the right place when I decide to buy this one

 

Repainted original parts are not a bad thing(to some of us) but if the car was in an accident then there is more to be considered. Keep in mind that these cars have 10 VIN locations and if any are missing there is certainly a reason that could be very minor or very major. I would inspect the car really well and ask all the questions you need to.

Good luck.

 

So I did the 12 hour trip this weekend and it was worth it. I bought the car!

04/2006
87000 km (+-53000 miles)
The car was in very good condition overall.
Just a small tear in the softtop and some blisters in the headlights.
In 1 week I'm going to pick her up

 

Congratulations, I wanted a BB or NFR S but settled for a GPW. But I still lover her!

Take good care of her and she will treat you right.
