How much do you want to bet the aftermarket wheel is there because it was cheaper than replacing the airbag?

Problem is, this is no longer an S2000. It’s the fat Elvis version of it’s original glorious self. Huge CP!
Long sigh . . . another Some Guys Project where he wants all his “investment” back. Doesn’t work that way.
That transmission was cranked out in about the last 45 minutes they were even building them. That specific model was discontinued in the next model year, after having been installed for about five or six years. By the time this one was made, its little hassles had been pretty much sorted. Bolted behind the stout but…
Yeah, these are fun to drive in stock form, but this one should only be driven by a vape-juicing, flat-brimmed-hat-wearing, anime-watching, moms-basement-dwelling, fast-and-the-furious-loving, fart-can-exhaust-buying, 2o-something-year-old person. One could reasonably argue that same stereotype should apply to ALL…
This has been sitting on the FT86 site since November 19 with no takers. So they built this car, stanced it, and used it as a show floor exhibit. Then they stripped it, parted out stuff they could sell, and left all the billboard advertising. This is $2-4K too high for a 7+year old, muffler delete, stock brakes, boy…
I really like these cars, and I’m sure this one is a blast to drive.
But. The stickers, exhaust, and tree stuff all over the car tell me it has been absolutely flogged. I’d be willing to bet those low miles have not been easy on it at all, and the next owner will have to deal with that eventually. CP from me.
*edit*…
At that price I’ll install my own supercharger
This is great.
I was so close to voting NP, but then I Googled Westlake tires. Hey Google, can you answer the question “Are Westlake tires any good”?
Westlake Tires = Instant CP, as it shows that if the owner was that cheap on something that critical, they probably cheaped out everywhere else.
Meow, sexy kitty. The achilles heel of these cars are the plastic timing chain guides. 2003 was a transition year where they started using metal guides that don’t need to be replaced. You can confirm by looking at the build date. If they’re in range, drive and enjoy without worry (the engine is bolted to a bullet…
Paint this thing red and go looking for Molly Ringwold.
Me WANT! No obvious stupid mods (maybe the exhaust, but that’s fixable) and this old warrior would make for a satisfying weekend driver.
I would buy it just for the design which I think is fantastic. I would not buy for the engineering; it’s basically a Chevy Chevette.
Seems like a lot of coin for a rather bland and long-forgotten model and brand. Sure, low mileage and good condition, but a forgettable design and not much going on under the hood.
Agreed. This is the proper way to sell a car - clean as hell. NP.
Yada yada yada . . . something something “cheap German cars” something something. To which I say: Nice Price!
