2004 Mazdaspeed miata - if you could snag this for a little less it would be a fantastic track toy or weekend toy. These are such a blast to drive
Does anyone know how reliable these turbo engines are? This isn't too much of a stretch from a regular NB or NA, but reliability is a big concern for me. Also heard that from the factory, the turbo doesn't kick in until higher RPM's. Not sure if front frame rail rust is a big issue for west coast cars.

2001 Honda S2000 Spa Yellow - $16000 (Vancouver)



Quote:
Currently selling my 2001 AP1 in Spa Yellow with 168xxxKM

The engine is stock with AP2 valve retainers, Berk HFC, Spoon rad cap, carbon fiber spark plug cover
OEM AP2 whole rear end included subframe, uca, lca, kuckles, and diff with shorter final drive (but ap1 rear sway bar)
Spoon subframe rigid collars and rear axle spacers were installed the same time
AP2 glass softtop upgrade
Momo Steering wheel & hub, Apexi Vtec controller, Spoon shift knob
Only aftermarket parts that can convert to stock are steering wheel and stock diff
Otherwise everything else is stock

Serviced with Motul oil and did an alignment recently

Cons:
Horn needs to be rewired and srs light is on from aftermarket wheel
Speedometer needs to recalibrated for shorter final drive
Trunk has holes for APR spoiler
A/C delete (but parts will be included)

Spare parts that will come with the sale
Rear bumper Cut
All A/C parts

$16,000 obo
https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...968934820.html

Has anyone seen this car? This is probably the least expensive S2000 out there that's sub-200k kms. The valve retainers have been done which is a plus. Seems like its a little rough around the edges though.

If the mazdaspeed engine is still a BP engine, they are tough as hell. Stemming back to the 323GTX days.

Considering it’s not complete, not registered and everything looks to be not quite new I wouldn’t say it’s a good deal by any means but man oh man would it be fun!

it's an in-house turbo unlike the ms protege that uses an off-the-shelf unit that is known to have a lot of variability when it comes to performance

i would guess there's no concerns daily'ing a well-kept msmiata

do note that turbo kicks in like 4k and redline is a limiting 6.5k

it looks amazing though and has a nice chassis upgrade over a standard NB

for several thousands more s2000 makes way more sense (more collectible desirability too)...but realize yellow AP1 may take longer to sell/get a lower price

Having driven a manual transmission my entire driving life of 20 years and having never had to replace a clutch once, I’m thinking that a clutch replacement at 100k is probably not a good sign.

I thought 100k km of mostly city use was fairly common. Probably up to about 125k

I don’t think 100k is absurd... that said, I only ever replaced a clutch on a Taurus SHO but it had an absolute shit factory clutch haha

for something that's considered a consumable...why isn't a clutch more accessible/servicable like a brake job/valve adjustment?

you'd think for it being around for decades and decades they would make it easier to replace (more part sales to diy folks)

That's because you have to set aside roughly the same amount as the purchase price as a maintenance fund!

Thought this was false until I bought my e36 m3.

"Oh this needs to be replaced. Oh I have to remove the radiator why not do the belts. Oh with the belts off I can do the power steering system. Oh while everything is off might as well redo the vacuum lines. Oh i took off the oem rad, why not pop in an aluminum one.."

And the list goes on

And that's how i did engine/trans mounts, guibo, driveshaft bearings and u joints, RTABs and RTAB shim limiters, all in one go LOL

What's the market on one of these Ferrari 360 Spyders? Looks cool, it'll only cost you a pretty penny to the tune of $99,900 + doc fee. A much newer (2015) 911 Carrera and (2017) 718 Cayman costs about the same.

F1 transmission & spyder = less desireable car. It would be a great deal if it was manual, berlinetta hence the price. There is probably a non-enthusiast buyer out there looking to show off in a Ferrari that will think that is the ideal spec.

I'd get a f430 as they aren't that much more and the F1 tranny is much better built in those than the earlier ones. If you just want a Ferrari engine just get a used mazzy for like 1/2 it's price. Same engine, roughly the same performance, but I guess less brand cachet than the F car. Maz sounds better too. Stock for stock.

Also these things are actually quite reliable. The engines are at least. That F1 tranny is a bit of a disaster but if you get the Maz, you can just get the normal ZF 6 speed which is ultra reliable.
