You're still pushing that bilstein crap?

[MrH]

  I still got connections.  I get it for cheaaaap

There's the amp rack. Kind of hard to tell what's going on in the picture though. This is looking over the passenger seat area. The top is up. The top will sit on a plastic shelf that'll sit above this shelf when it's all done. Fuel tank and filler is to the right of the shelf there.

That's the tiny sub sitting on it. Amp fits right next to it. The whole thing is shaped to wedge in there, no need to bolt it down at all. Well worth the money spent for it.

Also, I bought a 1:18 Autoart model of my car   interior is red instead of black like mine, but close enough.

How does that sub bang? Debating between 2 of those or going whole hog with 2 15s in an infinite baffle setup

Is there any rust on that thing?  I've got a lot on my Miata on the control arms.

Is that basically the spare tire well?

[MrH]

Yep. Fills the spare tire area. It'll all be hidden with the trunk lining when done.

No idea. I haven't hooked it all up yet. I'll let you know when I get it going. I don't think I'd do two of these though. Go with a dedicated amp and sub if you're going to bother using that much space. This was a desperate attempt at taking some off the bass responsibilities off the component speakers. Size was at an absolute premium.

I've got nothing I've seen so far. This thing is cleaner than my Miata was. It's lived a pampered life

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Been checking out CL, seeing some s2ks for around 10 to 12k. Might pick one up just so I can do a biased side by side unfavorable comparison to my miata......

Really though, I'd love to pick up a s2k or boxster s project for a hair under 10k.

[MrH]

You're going to have a tough time finding a decent one for $10k-$12k. I tried. I ended up spending more to get something that wasn't beat and riced to hell and back

[12,000 RPM]

Yea the things people do to S2Ks...



Its fucking criminal

Time will snap him back to reality. But cars are not like living organisms. Those stanced cars subframes and undercarriages will never heal

[MrH]

There's a shocking amount of fake S2000 ads on craigslist too.  There's like 5 that keep sprouting up in the area.  One is an AP2, looks super clean, comes with an OEM hardtop for $13,500 I think.  It's a crazy deal, but close enough to reality that it looks like it could be real.  If you send a message and seem half way educated, they don't bother answering.  Reverse image search it, and it's always some ad from California from a few years back or something.

What exactly is the point of a fake craigslist ad?

[MrH]

The people who can't string two words together, they try to get them to wire money over to secure the car.  People who come off as remotely intelligent they don't bother with for the most part.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

You can get nice s2ks around here for 14 to 15k, low mileage and clean. I'm sure its a matter of local market differences.

A few of the cheaper ones I've seen are actually very nice, just usually really high mileage (140 to 160k).

[MrH]

Mine was just under $15k.  But there's a big drop off once your start shooting for under $12k.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

IDK, a 15k car in may or june is a 12k car in november.

[MrH]

That was a $15k car in the dead of winter

[MrH]

Top is still too taut. I'm going to let it sit out in the sun all week.

It makes me sad that that car is so low mileage. It deserves to be driven!

Maybe it would have been driven more if it had more than 3 working cylinders.
