But only 200kw on the dyno when tune completed! Why bother with all the bits then! Go buy a standard Commodore or Falcon 6cyl. Produces nearly the same and you get 5 seats. Surely that thing with all that work should be able to crack better than 200kw

200kg lighter and this will actually go around corners. You're not buying a car like this for 5 seats.

I'd de-rice the outside of the car, thought it would have cracked more than 200kw as well, for that price Id be wanting at least 300kw atw

that is sex on wheels, and you people have obviuosly never driven one have you!
this thing would eat a holden or ford for breakfast
do some research and you will see just how well these handle and its not always about power

right. 300kw at the wheels. From a normally-aspirated 4 cylinder. And how do you propose driving that on the road!
Reality is, on the track 200kw in that chassis will wipe the floor with so many much more powerful cars. a decent RWD lightweight and well set-up car always has its advantages.

Quite an apt name for it though isnt it. "Amuse", Yes it is funny how some posters like #7 crack a fat over a rice cooker like that isnt it

Yes I have driven one or two of these and I do like them. But I would rather buy a brand new Dunnydore that makes more power from the factory, has a warranty, is more comfortable and will hold it's value far better. This thing would be a far better buy if it was stock standard rather than a tarted up whore

64k on a honda I don't think so. They have the place and price but not for 64k, could get a few cars for that I want and have money left over. Get a cruiser, work car and what ever else.

Modern jap cars (and old ones too) have a pedal that lets you disctate how much power the engine makes, I think its called a "throttle". I'd use this to drive on the road.

Personal choice hes entitled to an opinion of what he likes or dislikes. Not everyone likes what me or you likes, doesn't make it wrong. Its why its called an opinion.

i built a ef7 crx up approx 5years ago with a b18cr making 154kw weighed 810kg and it cleaned alot of high powered cars up screamed all the way to 9,600 redline sure it only pulled a 13.4 1/4 but once it was going it was a rocket!

Methinks you understand little about automotive engineering. My point was - how would a 300kw n/a 4 cylinder be driveable! The BTCC cars were 295bhp 2 litres, and you wouldn't call them driveable [on the road]

Of course it could be driven on the road but only the completely obsessed wouldn??

because it would idle at 3000rpm, have no torque, overheat.

It's all a moot point anyway, I'm buying it to replace my MX5 track toy. On a related note, what's the best product to remove stickers.!

Heh!"This vehicle has an annual fuel cost of $2,330 and a fuel economy rating of 4.0 out of 6."

nice car, 200kw at the wheels is alot for a n/a honda. and not many of thses cars around so much more unique than a commy or falcon.

so its the 2.0 with a longer throw crank
why not start with the 2.2 anyways ! wasnt the 2.0 in the s2000 the same engine type as the 2.2L s2000 !
