I'd take the Koni's if the rears would fit an S2. They don't unfortunately. Different part number.

I'll try to make it down to Fuel. Someone has to represent Mazda since too many are defecting to "other" manufacturers.

Heck, some guy up at Bucks in Landen tonight tried to sell me this over my Miata. It did look clean, but $18,500? He also badmouthed Mazdas in general. Typical Honda water drinker.

Car looks good James, congrats

Steve. 18,500 isn't a bad price for that S2000 Personally, i'd take an s2000 over a miata, and if i were to start over again, i'd probably take on over an 8.

You guys got me thinking about replacing the Miata. I hate you guys. How about this Z3?

2001 BMW Z3 $19,990 - Enthusiast Auto Group - Cincinnati, OH 45241 Dealer

or this:

2001 BMW Z3 $20,990 - Enthusiast Auto Group - Cincinnati, OH 45241 Dealer

I'd take Miata over Z3. though z3 has more power, Miata is more well balanced. I've heard that if you go for z4, you can get more power with good balance in weight distribution. but I've never driven z4, and probably more expensive.

when i was shopping for my 8, i test drove both Miata, and z3, and felt i liked miata way better. just how the seat feels, the view from the driver's seat, how it turns, etc, but maybe just me....

i've never liked teh z3. Stick with the miata. Z4 is a much better car though, but pricier.

That 25mm difference in the rear makes it difficult to get aftermarket structs. Koni has a different part # for the S2.

As for the Z3, our Miata needs some work. I'd like to get a newer one, but it is a fun car to drive. That black Z3 looks pretty good and the miles are low. The Z4 is the way to go, but $$$$$$ more.

Also thinking about a MR2 Spyder. I saw one over in Eastgate a few times and it's a light blue color. Looked really nice. Never driven one though.

My vote goes to a nice S2k. That one was a bit overpriced, IMO... and I wasn't a huge fan of the bodywork or the red/black interior. There was a SICK s2k at Fuel last year that was white with a crimson interior.

Or just buy an FR-S :P

BB8 - I'd love to get the Koni's, wheels and Bumper, but I've already committed to buying a daily/beater this month and am already over budget with that. If anything changes I'll let you know though.

I'm in love with the z4!

I'll always have a Mazda. Owned the 7 for almost 32 years (damn I'm old!) so you know I'm a serious fan. Seems to run in the family, with my dad it was Buick.

Mike, your first Mazda was a rotary powered baby carriage.

James,

Nice looking 944 you got there. Sorry I didn't talk to you more. My wife actually liked the cars down at Fuel, which surprised me since she's really doesn't care about cars.

We went from Fuel over to Aurora to watch the powerboat races. Not a lot of excitement like the Unlimiteds, but the price was right (free). I'll post some pics once I get done processing them.

Steve, you'll have to bring her down sometime when I'm home. She and mine can compare shopping notes.
