    Miata vs S2000 used car

    LMFAO, these replies did not disappoint. Agreed on not waiting. First surgery for posterior labrum reattachment from 6-9 was in 2000, revision surgery done in 2012. At this point there is stage 4 cartiledge loss, bone on bone, and the little cartiledge that remains, has a layer of fluid between...

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    No new updates. Still on the search. For Miata I've narrowed down my likes to the 99-04, silver with black interior, and the LS wheels. I also like the 2013-2015 Grand Touring rims, with power hardtop, which is considerably more money. S2000 would still be a consideration, but it's more at the...

    From CRV onto Rav4

    I am up to 77k on the car. No new updates, still just oil changes and air filters, and F&R brakes, and a set of tires at 50k. Picked up a set of the 19" XLE Premium wheels, with tires for $1250 today. The tires are almost brand new, but some off brand shit name. Wheels all have stick on...

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    So far I have driven, S2k, NB Miata and today drove a ND Miata. The NB was okay, had 125k miles, pulled hard, coolant was down to the fins, and overflow was overfilled. Ran it for a long long time and it never got warm. I think the radiator cap was still bad. The guy said they put a clutch in...

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    Yes, I was just going to have it shipped up to NY. For the $500 bucks, not really worth the drive down 5+ hours.

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    S2000 had rust in both rear quarters just behind the wheels, and the top was more than a little fked. He wouldn't go below $14k, so I'm gonna have to pass. The search continues.

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    I was going to NJ today to buy this one, but figured it might be better to wait for the one I really want. I had the cash in hand, ran the carfax, and had my insurance people working on the card. Of note - the car fax shows 3 owners, one as a fleet, then a corporate owner, then the long term...

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    The guy ended up selling the car on Sunday, when we had plans for me to go to NJ and buy/pick it up Tuesday. So it goes, the hunt continues. Silver PRHT seems to be tough to find in this market.

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    I found one. Model year 2000, only $36k miles, $8000, but it has an accident in history in 2003. Not sure how bad, have not inspected the car up close yet. I had the seller send me lots of pictures. It was a Virginia car according to carfax. (The carfax that was sent to me by the seller was...

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    Thank you for that detailed write up. I had no idea the S2000 was prone to so many issues. Appreciate all the comments guys. I guess the Miata search continues. Honda Beat is another potential option, as I have an importer pretty local to me, but the paperwork to get the thing registered (in...

    Miata vs S2000 used car

    I've been trolling FB marketplace and CL recently looking for a convertible with less than 100k miles. It seems early 2000 Miatas are about $10k, and similar year and mileage S2000s are in the $30k range. If you go over 100k miles, or start to back down the quality, miatas can be had in the 6-8k...

    Excellent News, My Dudes!

    back in the day (90s hondas) a surging idle could be FITV or low coolant, not sure if that applies on your model. What are you using for management? How many miles on the motor? How aggressive of a pulley will you go with next? (stock internals with 11.0:1 compression?)
