Oh great! He already has mod A.D.D. when it comes to the MazdaSpeed. 
P.S. I'm Evil S2K's wife, Jennifer. Looking forward to coming out to some meets sometime soon.

Welcome Jennifer!
These boards are going to take some getting used to. They're a bit different than the Mazda boards. Hehehe!

I burn a GOOD quart every 3-5K miles, but I drive like a maniac on they highway twice a week on a very regular basis.
182,000 miles and still runs like a champ.
02 S2K (AP1)
Mobil1, but I've heard Mobil1 burns more than other sythetics.
Once you figure out what mods you plan on, s2kpuddydad and S&R performance (sub-zero) are some names you should remember. Great guys, great work.
Some tips:
check the convertible top rubbing thread (don't have a hyperlink, but it's here somewhere). It could save you a couple thousand dollars.
look into a upgraded front sway bar. Don't know if the AP2's are as bad as the AP1's, but there's this little thing called snap-oversteer that can get you into trouble REAL QUICK.
WELCOME AND HAVE FUN!!

Be careful you could be one of the old guys. We had 16 year old that hung with us for quite awhile.

I've done a bunch of research before we purchased and of course a lot of that was on the top issue. I'll have to make sure to find the correct part of the frame to check for the issue and file the burrs down if needed to save the headache...

as far as mods, we'll probably keep it at a minimum for a while. the main things I want are the AP2 front Chin spoiler, the trunk spoiler(the lip not the pedestal) and a K&N FIPK intake
and seat locks of course...which i need to order shortly.

lol it seems I've gotten myself in trouble with the word "old" havent I? hahaha
Where are you from? How long in Florida?
Remember old is a relative term, I don't consider myself old and I can always take comfort in the knowledge that Sub-Zero is "older" and more mature than me!
