Re: MSM miata vs AP1 S2K -- opinions?

Good points on the bars... I had been looking into options and although I like the peace of mind in an adjustable bar, if it's tuned right anyways that works too. Once I found a good bar setting I never touched the bar afterwards; the ST bar on my miata has been full stiff the entire time it's been ...

Re: MSM miata vs AP1 S2K -- opinions?

Wooow! Checked this thread after a few days and didn't realize so many people posted. Thanks everyone! It looks like the final ride will end up being a AP2. I have a good friend of mine that's selling one in my price range so soon as my miata sells I'm jumping on it. When I do compete I aim to win a...

Re: F/S 2000 miata (temecula) $4000 firm

Bump, price drop!! This is about as low as I'm willing to go. The offer to sell the car with just the stock wheels for 500 less still stands as well, meaning you could get this car with the stock wheels for $3500!!! With the extras, it's a steal!

It's all good, looks like I may have a lead on a nice AP2 through a friend of mine. With any luck if my miata sells and I can get the loan for it, I'll be set. :)

Hey guys, Max, I got ya. There is an AP1 I'm looking at and an AP2 I was just presented with by a friend of mine as an option...both are within my budget.

Max, I found out last night the MSM from 04/05 is now classed in c stock. That's why I got so interested in it since it's no longer outgunned in B. Ron, funny you say Boxter, so did a friend of mine. Main issue I take with that car is the motor isn't easily serviced and i prefer to do my own work. I...

Re: Stolen 996 TT race car!

you never know man, people have been known to strip cars then sell parts on e-bay not suspecting people might be on the watch. a GT2 is pretty damn hard to miss.

Lets hope the car stays in one piece. :( time to get LoJack. :cry:
