Before I did these videos i was doing pricing research and you cant get a 2004+ s2000 with under 50k miles for under 17k. While you can get a 30k mile frs for around the same price.

As a used car at that price you can basically do forced induction, brakes and real suspension on one and spend about as much as buying a new one. Thats a huge plus for the 86 platform
This is my plan... pick up an FRS in a few years as a cheap daily driver, allowing me to do whatever I want with the S2K.

Unless the Nissan IDx gets a sleek new design and/or better designed suspension (double wishbones, if you did it for the Z and GTR, you can do it here, Nissan) and/or a factory turbo.... but even then, probably still the FRS due to the used FRS vs new Nissan cost difference.

I still lust for an FD RX7 too though...... haha
