Almost all the time attack teams seem to have focussed on reliability, adding lightness & aero improvements.

It would be good to utilise the extensive expertise within the UK community, rather than going elsewhere - especially given how many Formula 1 teams are based around Northamptonshire.

Agreed, when you get into racing, a lot of the US / JDM branded stuff is a waste of time and money. Looks good though

It baffles me how we have SO many manufacturers of things over here that build great stuff - think ProAlloy for efficient, high-quality lightweight radiators, yet they aren't available for the S.

Same with Milltek exhausts - would've sold hundreds of the damned things.

It's just volume sadly. The S is still a very low customer base compared to Civics and Integras it's why all the JDM stuff is expensive too.

You may be in luck. IIRC Milltek had a std. S2000 in in the last month or two so they can design a kit, so I'd guess you'll see an offering from them before Xmas. I'll find out and let everyone know.

A couple of people on the board have already got them from what I've read.

Quick question for those who follow this thread.....

Continue it for our 2014 build or start a new one?

We are underway so the pictures will commence shortly!

I'd say a new one. 52 pages is a lot to read through and if you come back to the thread after a while, trying to remember if it was page 30 something or 50 something when you last looked gets tricky for an old persons brain like mine.

I agree with this.

Start a new thread referencing this one in the first post IMO.

Then put a note on your last post on this thread.
