Cheers marc i had noticed the Module prices had been added. One thing though you appear to have removed the standard Vortx kit and replaced it with
the MX5 doner kit. Does this mean it's no longer available?
yep still available just havent managed to finish that part yet

Marc you are giving me a lot of reasons to hate you (in a good way though) .....
I had just made up my mind about the Busa engine, only waiting to be given some leave and find flights to come visit you, and now you come and
announce that you're tinkering with S2000 engined cars!!!!
Now I have to make my mind up all over again!!! Aaaarrrggghhh!!!!

the story behind the s2000 is as follows :-
we have a customer who liked our cars but was not 100% on having a bike engine, so was looking for a car engine, we initially looked at duratec route
£5500 min for something which may acheive 200bhp, looked around at american v8s etc, and came up with s2000 using the gearbox ecu dash , and diff came
in a lot less for more power ( and almost revs like a bike engine ) with it being jap its b
ound to be alot better in the reliability stakes, and a super charger kit is not too much either.
it just pained me to see someone spend £5000 on something that wouldnt have given him the power that they where after and would have been an inferior
installation so had to find a solution
im so hooked on the idea that one of our next demos is s2000

Ok you got me hooked too. So next questions are ...
1. What can I use out of the S2000 apart from the Engine and G'box? because I can arrange to buy a totalled S2000 straight from japan.
2. Does it need a dry sump? or shortened sump?
3. Is the gear lever nicely positioned, or akward? ( like the type 9 on a locost?)
4. Does it come with an European certificate of Conformity? (this is a trick question)

Right lads, listen up.
Decide on the budget (approx.) - tell SWMBO.
Then take her to Amsterdam and whilst there buy her a diamond something or other (not that expensive if you play your cards right).
In the future when she asks how much it's all cost you quote her an airy-fairy figure but add that the diamond whatever came out of your budget.
It's worked for me for the last few years!
As to actual cost - depends on how locost you want it be and how much time you are prepared to spend acquiring parts rather than ordering them from
the likes of Ral Des.
£5k sounds about right.
Cheers, Pewe

You can already start saving by not going to Amsterdam but going to London...
