Blueprinted is where the engine is hand built and each component is carefully measured and several of the corresponding components are measured and nearest to the ideal match is used. The engine is then delivering the best power that it was designed to.

Thanks for the info. Is the result of that blueprinting process a higher specification than the original factory engine, I wonder?
Although even if was, it mightn't be enough to soften the £10k + VAT blow!

Talk about relabelling the spoonsports.eu website. Identical responsive site. I won't be buying from either until I know what's going on. Anthony on occasion has been a bit slow in comms and delivery but always got there in the end.

Yes, a higher spec as the engine is hand built and all the components are carefully matched to each other. More for the race track than every day road use.

I placed an order with Burn at the beginning of August, which was duly acknowledged, but since then I have heard nothing more from them. Messages have been unanswered, and the phone just goes to an answering service. Needless to say, payment has been taken from my account.
Does anyone know what the score is?

Have they morphed into Taikyu?

Taikyu's website looks good. They're retailing everything you're likely to need to keep an S2k - and other cult Hondas - running into the future so they've obviously considered the market.
You can even choose between 'blueprinted' (not sure what that means) F20 or F22 engines.
The price of Dixcel brakes looks to have inflated a little though.

Where is the train wreck emoji when you need one. Its hit us hard at the wrong time. Since the day before Boris announced he was out we have lost about 35% in the yen We held out at the old prices as long as we could but you can't run a business at a loss
Very soon, we will update the forum logo's etc and historic threads. Sorry for any confusion caused.

It's been over 4 weeks since I placed this order. Can I have an update on it please?

DIXCEL have been running behind from Golden Week in Japan. Sorry about that. I have just checked for your part and the rotors are on the current shipment from Japan. They should be arriving in the next few days. We will ship them out UPS the day the arrive.

It's now been 6 weeks! I've still heard nothing.
Please let me know what is going on.

Anthony is currently away. Japan have been slow in getting this sorted. The best eta I can get is the middle of next week. I have been told it is something to do with some new export laws. Sorry for the continued delays and hassle with your order. We have many customers in the same boat as you and all we can do is apologise. I will let you know once I have any further updates.
Now I understand that these had to come from Japan, and that "Golden Week" happened. But I thought it was taking the biscuit a bit. They were however the cheapest rear discs I could find for my Impreza Type R and I did get them eventually!

The S2000 is a model we focus on and try to always have but with the cost of shipping (heavy) and less favourable exchange rates to keep the products affordable for the end users we have to combine shipments with back orders and special orders. It can push out time scales especially when you throw in holiday's like Golden week and Bon.
The recent changes from Burn to Taikyu are all about being able to stock more and improve order processing. We look forward to investment coming soon to allow us to increase stock to over 250k which is twice what we hold now.
