Any one recommend anywhere else?

Also any one got any ideas on the weight of the Mugen?
Mugen weighs 29 pounds, that's almost half the OEM.

They usually write a lower invoice value on the shipping document for customs declaration and clearance purposes

with your choice

PL - no I don't but I have heard it and it is subtle, as you know it's about weight saving not power
Psilos - so over twice the weight of the Amuse But probably the best combination of looks, noise and weight reduction. If a little costly

From the Taka Kaira website it would appear that the later Mgen exhaust has slightly larger diameter piping after the split to the twin mufflers

Let's hope that bit of welding repair work holds up and Havas doesn't live to regret buying that Amuse, eh Mike?

LL Merc did a superb job including strenghtening it, better than Amuse! There was no internal repair need! BTW thanks for that!








Havas - this weekend my son

I knew very well that they'd done a top notch repair, Mike - just pulling your leg, hence the smiley....

I missed the S2000 a bit at the weekend when it was sunny - but I can almost replicate the wind-in-the-hair feeling by opening the glass roof and winding the windows down And as exhilarating as the F20C can be, it'll still never sound as nice as a 6 cylinder engine
