Rumour has it that the owner has crashed it already

Wow. Those engines are sweet. They can be put anywhere.

On that topic, saw an LS1 astra coupe before

Looks like fun, is it still around or did it get written off?

Same as what was under the bonnet of that beautiful Odyvia isn't it? That sounded lush!!!

Many S2000 drivers cannot handle a simple F20c, so double the low-down torque plus fit wheels of the wrong offset with unfortunate consequences...

It's an awful lot of work compared to a Rotrex kit, but fun if you like that sort of thing. I'd go Rotrex, personally, if I felt it wouldn't worsen the car over NA.

It's a shame he stuffed it after all that complicated work, though.

[RattyMcClelland]

Wrong offset wheels shouldn't matter. Iv never noticed any difference.

[Supermarine Blues]

They tend to increase jounce & instability under braking on bumpy roads, partly due to increased leverage as the steering geometry is no longer centre-point.

Add to that, the pronounced passive RWS effect of the S2000 (which some dislike) and it can be a recipe for a handful. The S2000 can be quite sensitive to such stuff.

It's an effect many choose to ignore.
