Used to have a GSXR750 but with a little one on the way and lack of using it the missus made me sell it

So make do with an S2000 and a 205 1.9GTi. Running out of space on the drive!!

How do you like the S2000? I'm thinking of one as a track toy... Something with a bit more poke on track than the MX5 had is what I've got in mind

Yeah I like it way more than an MX. Plus my sisters had 2 of them!! Great cars (I drove hers loads) but the S2000 is in another league, much more focused and the MX has never had enough power which the S does - as long as you keep it in VTEC, but if you do its properly quick

Be great on track but the brakes are the weak spot so you'd have to uprate them.

People will say supercharge an MX, but then you can supercharge the S too!!

Its also got the best manual gearbox I've ever used, the feel is sublime.

Been driving it more while I wait for my F31 now I sold my E92, was going to sell it on in a month or 2 but starting to change my mind!

Some like it some don't. Its certainly miles behind my F30 but its nice to step back sometimes.

Its low as its on air suspension. I drove it for years on just coilovers but it wasn't practical. I got the air suspension done then stopped using it as I bought my F21 back in 2012.

I bought it in August 2005 with 11500 miles on the clock. Its now on 67000 miles. Never had any metal panels painted other than the black roof. Paintwork is better than my F30!!

Yes I fancy something a little bit more modern and potent, and the VTEC sounds perfect for a track! I've heard they're a more robust than a 986 boxster too, and the early ones can be had below 5k now, which is less than the cost of getting a decent MX5 and adding a turbo or supercharger to it.
