Brakes, tires, suspension, seat time and your mr-s will crush EVERY FT86 that isn't turbo/super.
I was never an mrspyder guy. I'm part of that group that calls them "girly cars". But I will admit to wanting to own one eventually. You're right, cargo is a 0.5/10 when it comes to space and I would use it as a 4th or 5th car if anything. But a 2200lbs chassis with a turbocharged 2zz sitting behind you would actually be pretty damn good bang-for-buck if you ask anybody.
I sense you are bored with the sypder as I was with my sw20 so I got the FRS for something refreshing. Personally, I stick with the mr-s if you can swing two cars. A beater for daily and the mr-s for project. Pretty much what I have done my entire life with my sw20. But if it's you're only car, $5k for something sporty points me towards the Honda fwd stuff. They'll have the space you need in a DD, get good mileage, and Vtaaaaaack. Unless you can find an unadulterated 240sx, GC impreza, or a clean non-turbo sw20, $5k buys you a lot of fwd Honda.
I seriously wish I could take that spyder shell of your hands. One with a blown 1zz is exactly how I would buy one.

You have to grow up a little to where you stop calling cars girly or gey before you are allowed to experience the joys of a MR-S.
. If you really want to drool then take a look at Spyderchats' For Sale section right now. There is a supercharged 2ZZ (310WHP) 2001 MR-S hard top with all the goodies for sale right now for $14K. You could not build a car like it for anywhere near that. It is a steal!
Here is a short vid of it running on a track day after it was finished.
