Makes sense to go the Mazda route as cheaper than a bag of chips and lots of whizz for your wedge

Track flea = bec
Road = car engine.

Worth pointing out if flipping diff to re configure oil level to lube pinion as it will be running dry and vent if applicable.

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.
