    Grabbed her- 03 Spyder with 30K miles has joined the stable

    Keeps setting off alarms in the condo parking garage. 5 stories of cars to drive past just to get out into the wild. I've considered going after the exhaust, but it is plenty loud and there are many other things I aim to sort out first. On another note, picked up a proper set up for video...

    Grabbed her- 03 Spyder with 30K miles has joined the stable

    I wanted to take a minute to thank you guys for the kind words of encouragement in your welcomes and answers to my newbie questions. Took the final step and grabbed the girl for my garage. (well, I live in a huge condo building so she's tucked safely in the parking garage next to a neighbors...

    First Post- Might jump on a Spyder?

    Here she is. A few rashes in the paint and on the rims- all something I can sort out fairly easily.

    2003 Spyder- Test drove it, now some questions?

    ANY, thanks for that. Confirms my suspicions and thoughts on the subject. I don't think I am equipped well enough to take on a modification like that for now (I have access to shop/tools but will be focused on some of the other things first...) I do appreciate everyone's input on the clutch...

    2003 Spyder- Test drove it, now some questions?

    Gotta make room for my new ride... Step one- sell off one of my fleet. Step two (optional but desired)- sell off a second. Finances in order. Verbal agreements made with seller. He is headed off island for a week and when he returns... She's coming home with me! Now for some curious...

    2003 Spyder- Test drove it, now some questions?

    Thank you all for the support. I am all but locked and loaded to buy the car. I have all financials set, now just need to actually do the transaction. First up will probably be some cosmetic stuff on the paint (13 year old black paint shows some spots that I think can be buffed out- and if...

    First Post- Might jump on a Spyder?

    Yes, I am in Hawaii and not really up for shipping cars- I shipped one here when I moved out to the island and while not too difficult, there are plenty of cars here already that fit into my range. Thanks for the welcomes and advice!

    2003 Spyder- Test drove it, now some questions?

    Hi all, I am new to board and realized some of this may have been addressed but I've searched and couldn't find much on one issue. I've set my sights on a 2003 Spyder with ~30,000 miles. If I buy, it will be about xxxK USD. (Seems that is within reason for cars in the US appear to be going for...

    First Post- Might jump on a Spyder?

    Hi all, I just joined up and wanted to introduce myself... I am Curtis and I'm a car-a-holic. On a serious note, I am looking at a 2003 Spyder with the 6 speed manual (third pedal, not F1) with 30,000k miles on it. Looked nice today- but does have some of the normal stuff I see on 13...
