There are quite a few Elises with Honda conversions around.

Stunning performance.

I think Mark B commented on here that he had a go in one recently.

There is one locally to me with an uprated Audi Titty engine (270 BHP)

Brown trousers are recommended if you are a passenger

My Brother is getting the type r conversion for his S1, I can't wait to have a go!

Very fast and probably makes the most of the chassis!

As Nick says, at a recent Combe trackday I had a go in a s/c Honda'd Elise - 315bhp and under 700kg.

Supercar accelleration to match the handling. Sounded evil too.

If the Toyota lump ever goes pop in my Exige, that's what I'm going for.
