I'm a huge S2000 fan since they were first announced and I'm finally going to purchase an '05 this week. I have at least 3 little Maisto models at home/work I've collected over the years, so I'm pretty obssessed with them. Even my son has a little Transformer model of an S2000. Anyway, I test drove an '06 today and have been learning about the differences. I don't think they merit the amount I would save on a slightly used '05, however I wouldn't mind updating some of the features if the price is right. Would anyone know what's involved with getting the 'maintenance minder', temperature gauge and DRL's to work? It seems like some sort of chip upgrade would be all and maybe some sensors. The DRL's are supposed to be required on all 2010 cars and they probably do help get you noticed, unfortunately by the police as well. But, they do probably make one a little safer until every car gets them! It looks like just the amber lights come on is all. I realize that the drive by wire and VSA features would be pretty costly, so wouldn't consider something like that. Also, does the headrest speaker system option on the 04's & 05's require running wire from the stereo or is it pre-wired so to speak.
