Lol why do people always presume that it's the reason lots of money is spent, is for little gains?

Maybe just maybe some people out there would rather not be sheep and create something that is not the norm? Some thing special that truly turns heads. Just like that S2000, that is incredible.

Nitin would you rather copy a massively over done recipe or create your own dish ;)

:lol: :mrgreen:

:roll: my point was that not all n/a mods from spending lots of money, result in little gain...

It was a cheeky suggestion that sticking a corvette V8 in an S2k counted as an "n/a mod"!

:facepalm: Never mind...

I got it. And to be fair, that's my sorta S2k!! Jap styling with the Yank roar!!


Admittedly, hp/£, you'll always be better off going turbo / engine swap, but sometimes it's just nice to have something a bit different. That's why I haven't done a B18 conversion in my Aerodeck yet, cos I like having a Honda A series engine that most people don't know even existed! :lol:




Oh, and Nitin, I'll leave you to tinker with your own box! Just remember though, when you're finished tinkering with a box, to pack your tool and your nuts back away.
