Well I know there's a couple s2k owners on the board. I owned an 05 for a year then I had to sell it due to financial problems. Absolutely amazing car for the price. I'm hoping the FT86 is a little better with handling which would be hard to beat. I just love light weight cars.

RSX

I have a 04 RSX-type S as my daily driver.
It's all stock because I have never been able to bring myself to put money into a FWD car. No matter what you spend or how much you do to it it is still a mediocre handling predominantly understeering FWD car. Not bad to drive but not as much fun as nearly anything that is RWD.
My other car is a project car. I have been in the middle of a 350Z engine and 6 spd swap into a 1995 240SX for a year and a half. RWD and 300 hp. 2800 lbs. Engine and trans are in. Suspension is done. Driveshaft and limited slip are in. 370Z seats are in. Currently working on the hand made stainless steel headers. Lots left to do. Wiring will be the biggest headache.

I've had guilty thoughts (because I'm a Toyota guy) about a VQ35DE in an S-chassis...

Start up a thread for Nissan owners if you want and throw some pics up!

I drove an RSX S for 6 years and and in the process of selling it right now. It had hks exhaust, jic coilovers, strut bars, type r lower bar, swapped interior, custom cf headliner, volks 19', custom chargespeed lip kit and probably a lot of things I am forgetting. Great car but RWD called me and I don't think I will ever go back.

The grill is the charge speed insert also. It was black because I didnt want it to stand out.

If you notice the chargespeed lip kit has had the front holes filled in for a cleaner look.
