I'd like to see out the rear view mirror really. All it has to be is enclosed rather than fully firewalled, so as long as there is a box around the filler section, that will comply. So a small ally box around it would work ok too.

Little update on our progress with the 2012 car.......

Its currently at TTS Performance in Silverstone having a bespoke race supercharger designed and made in house. These are the CAD designs for the mounting brackets. The charger will be mounted at the bottom of the engine as opposed to the normal top mounted position:

Despite being flat out with their own day to day business, TTS Performance continue to impress with squeezing in time to make some progress on our S2000.........

Here's a few pics of the current work going into the car. The brackets were a first ever design for TTS, and they've machined 9 other sets which i'll be posting up some info on soon as a kit which people will be able to buy. As you can see its a completely different kit to the standard one.... -

Now that is smart. What are the disadvantages vs the normal top mounting SC?

Very interesting mount position! Probably more secure mounts and a lower centre of gravity? I think M Benz mount theirs on the LH side of the engine low down...
Looking forward to seeing more of this!
