I wouldn't recommend grabbing a Kouki S14 immediately. Im decently new to actually owning an S-Chassis but Ive had a few other cars before (Miata's mostly) and these cars are a lot of work. Be prepared to drop a lot of cash into your S-Chassis. I bought my S13 a few months ago, swapping the KA-E for an SR. These things are not cheap, and unless you drop some good money into the car, then it won't be reliable.
There are many other options I would recommend, and on a super tight college budget, and S is not my first choose. I chose a 2nd Generation Miata with 45,000 miles to learn cars/driving on (even cheaper than a KA to maintain, simple chassis, fun as hell to drive, etc)
This is all from the perspective of a full time college student, who works part-time, and 100% of my spare time goes into cars.
