Default Hi im new looking to buy s2000

Hi im jay from rayleigh in essex..
ive recently broke and sold up my toyota glanza track car and decided whilst im 30 i may as well finally get a decent car and using the glanza money i can buy an s2000 which i have desired for a long time.
now on the hunt to buy an s2000.
Hope to be find the right one soon.
Any pointers or tips be really nice to know (have done lots of research on usual issues).

Ah a fellow Essex-ian! (Lived near Southend most of my life but now in West Sussex)

Welcome. Decent FAQ can be found as a sticky on the forums here, but key issues you’ll hear most about are TCT rattles, seized suspension adjusters, wearing roof materials and a few other things besides.

Lots of good examples out there. Buy on condition, not mileage in my opinion. Fire over a PM if you’d like to know more

Welcome alone. I've had a couple Glanza's in my day. Love the little things. What sort of s2000 are you looking for? prefaclift or faclift? budget, modified etc?

Thanks you for warm welcome guys..
yh glanzas are fun track cars but theirs a point where you have move on.lol

Yes i have read about the geo bolt and timing tensioner rattle.
in terms of what s2000 one with as much oem equipment as possible, light modifications are fine like coilovers and roll bars that be as much as id want really.

Taking a year out from track days this year to have a break from it all.. so wont be tracked this year famous last words.haha..
