1) More Torque - At least 100 ft lbs more (Turbo or more displacement)
2) 1980s called, they want their interior back.
3) Made in the Toyota Factory with better fit and finish

More expensive so fewer dumbasses buy them. It's working well for Nissan's 370Z.

Cheaper insurance too since less on the road. You'd scoff at the difference between a CTR and 86.

I have zero tickets...

My insurance was $44 per month on my FR-S back in 2012. Now because of the people that get tickets, my insurance is $90 per month. Pretty lame!

It's only going to get worse as more and more young people get them used and crash them.

My demands for the 2nd gen:


1) More rattles! I'd especially like to see things like the front windshield, undercar components, and all of the knobs rattle in some kind of way that gives the impression the car is literally about to fall apart. Nothing says race car like rattles.



2) No actual style improvements needed (it's a great looking car), but an excessive number of aftermarket themed add ons. I want this car to come from the factory with carbon fiber look canards, diffusers, splitters, window louvers, etc. At least give it to us as an option! (hint TRD)



and most importantly



3) Lighter paint. Lot of opportunity for weight savings left in the paint. Maybe they can cut it back to just 1 light dusting of clear over the bare metal. Just enough to keep it from rusting during the warranty, but any more is just overkill and really detracts performance.

Better yet, just come factory primered for cost savings. People who want paint can figure it out themselves afterwards.

Yeah if the S2000 had originally come as a coupe, I probably would have bought one. Fun car for sure.

The dumbasses with money pay other people to fix and mod them instead of making shitty threads on here.

Like this?

Only engine bay at least

Why......marketing said Solar Orange paint wouldn't stick to undercoat in engine bay.......yes, it's the same undercoat on the panels.

I just want stronger internals and a little more robust transmission. I'm happy with everything else.
