InTheWorks,
i do not mind turning wrenches.. actually another goal of mine with a light track car, is to learn how to do small jobs.
One thing i am BIG on.. is the transmission and engine, and how strong they are. i love the idea of getting to a point where i have got the best lap times i could get with a N/A setup and being able to add boost. or just adding boost because i want to.
So all things considered, im still mainly looking at a 2006+ S2000, or a FRS(Maily for the warranty) as i could add suspenion/wheels/brakes. and still have my powertrain i believe.
i like the s2000 for the fact of how strong the engine is. and its a true 2 seater. and the POTENTIAL the car has.
the FRS, i like because its around the same price as i would want to pay for a MINT S2000. and has warranty for a bit. plus from what im seeing, the new FA20 motor is pretty strong.
Kind Regards- Jaron

gerry,
let me re-state that, because the chances of becoming a top level driver is slim to none.
in the grand scheme of things, when i start learning and becoming a decent driver. i'd like the car to have potential to be better also.
IntheWorks,
i understand that, we will see what the market is like when i buy at the end of this year. it'll give me more time to save, and see what else comes around!

Most people who I've run with during HPDE agree with me that Turbo boost is not what you want.
During a long sweeper on balanced throttle you want a linear power curve not a sudden jump. Porsche drivers with the dough, go for a GT3 not a turbo.
My guess is that for an s2k, best track upgrades would involve tires and suspension.
Hope you checked out that youtubr vid
