Honda S2000 all the way, suits the roadster perfectly in my opinion, light, powerful, 6 gear box, lots of revs but not excessive torque low down. shame you may have to go aftermarket with the ecu but I think the DTA S60 ecu comes with a base map for the S2000 and supports all the engine sensors with no calibration. I'm having second thoughts about a turbo in a roadster too.

Here is a good one for you all,local to me is a well known german car specialist who even gets the dealers in to sort their problems out and has invested mega bucks in diagnostic gear,in comes a J reg scirroco and they are all stumped as how to alter the mixture on the "Carb",they had to call in one of the lad's dad to sort it.

What is the world coming too.........

Technology ?

Back to thread,what about tb's and a head change instead of ripping the lump out and fit emerald or the like,should give decent power.

I'm not into all this modern stuff either Ronnie, my daily runabout is a 1983 Vw T25 easily fixed with a hammer and a screw driver. No fuel injection no cat but it does have a cool way of letting me know when it needs more oil.....cheeky wee puddles are left as a reminder the oil prefers to be on the outside rather than on the inside. Had the crank seal changed and using thicker oil helped but still does it......"tis human don't yer know"

Oh and the other thing I beat everyone in a race down here as I just block the road and drive slow....:P
