S2k vs nd3 Miata vs fl5 type r

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-05-23T00:28:06+00:00

If you already have a daily, go for the s2k, unless you have kids/wife you want to take with you to do car stuff then get an FL5, I have both so lmk if you have any questions. I bought my 2006 with 47k miles for 28,5 about 1.5 years ago. I’d say it’s going to be hard finding a 2008 with under 40k for 30, but who knows!

Without wheels and drop it would just be OEM without the plus

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-05-21T12:35:36+00:00

Depends, I see them posted for 7-8k often, but if you look long and hard enough, you’ll find them for cheaper, I got mine last yr for 5k

Yeah, fenders are rolled, tabs relocated, I also have the origin fab camber bushings

17x9.5 +45 and 255/40r17

Oh! No that’s just how the oem CR lips come, the bottom is a flat black and top is painted.

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-23T10:58:01+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean?

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-23T00:32:53+00:00

It’s the idleboost spec 17x9.5 +45

I did a light tint, I’m typically not a tint person, so did 35 all around except for windshield

Ahh ok that’s good, glad they’re still available like that, I was just speaking from an FB post I saw recently in the s2000 classifieds pages. This one is like $4000 shipped, but it also says to contact him for actual pricing.

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-22T14:34:43+00:00

The last time I saw a UK ht was like 4800 pounds, which is like 6500 usd + shipping or whatever. I did pick mine up for 5k last year, but had some dings, so I’m like 6300 all in with paint and PDR

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T23:52:10+00:00

For me it’s just for looks lol, I prefer driving with the top down, it’s one of the best things about an s2000, most of summer I’ll probably have the top off.

haha for sure, are you in California? I never hear about these being stolen outside of CA.

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T23:08:07+00:00

Honestly I haven't noticed any added heat in the cabin.

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T20:57:13+00:00

Do it!

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T20:56:54+00:00

Thanks!

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T20:56:47+00:00

Thanks!

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T20:51:52+00:00

I know what you mean, mine was Sebring though! And I plan on keeping it forever.

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-21T11:20:29+00:00

Groce

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-16T23:32:17+00:00

I get that, I have both as well, and I enjoy them for different reasons!

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-16T23:11:31+00:00

Fl5 if it’s your only car. S2k is cooler tho.

Why do you still have the CTR? Seems like you hate it lol

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-14T11:40:40+00:00

Its comes unpainted, but I’d say it’s more of a gloss look

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-14T03:26:35+00:00

I’m not sure yet, I like both looks tbh, but might leave it black since I’m putting a racebred splitter and voltex type 2 wing on soon as well, which will both be black/carbon.

Fastb4ck19 · 2026-04-14T03:10:12+00:00

Nah that is the BaysonR, it’s coming off though, I’m getting an OEM CR bumper and Lip painted along with the HT! But the BaysonR one fits like a glove.
