Talking The New DRIV300

Hey all!! Well, I sold my 2001 S2K back in February and bought a Miata as a substitute, and while I love my Miata, I just couldn't resist the urge to get back into another S2K.

Flew to Miami to pick this car up from spoon-er here on S2Ki. Man what a trip!

27 hours total... 1,550 miles... all on 1 hour of sleep!

Left Miami at 7pm... drove until 1am. Slept in the car for an hour but couldn't sleep too well... so I downed a coffee and some breakfast and drove straight through for 18 more hours Couldn't have done it without good ol' caffeine.

ANYWAYS... on with the pics! These were taken in Miami with the previous owner Gus (spoon-er here on S2Ki -- who is a great guy by the way!)

MANY More pictures to come whenever I get a chance to wash/wax & take some more.

The car is absolutely great and I'm very very happy with it. Has a clifford alarm, quick-release Prodrive with Mugen wheel, rays lugs, and a great drop.

Thanks Gus! You are the man!























27 hours of bug death



More bug death...




It's great to be back!!!

Yikes... Wasn't aware of this. What's the issue with having Rays lugs with OEM wheels?

The surface of the lug nut and the surface of the oem wheel don't match up
