Really like these, looks well in the OP on the larger oem wheels and slight drop. Colours a nice change from the norm.
Engine swap over Xmas on the cards by looks of it :approve:

Fitted yet?
You know me, i'd normally have it in by now, but it's going to be after Xmas - too busy this week lol x
I can finally afford the insurance :evil:....
and I've just signed up on s2ki
Think this has just surpassed a 6pot BMW/RS Clio for the VX's replacement!!
Good lad!
I am very much looking forward to getting it on the road, will be great fun until I get another Elise, miss my old one
)Agree, the 16's just look too small, the larger OEM 17's combined with the drop sets the car off perfectly, so once it's on the road, wheels will be first, then some Eibachs and geo
If all goes to plan, engine should be in before the new year
Good lad!

I'd almost argue more fun from watching some of the heroic youtube vids out there lol. Add to the fact it will be more practical in every single way for my motorway commute and I think I'm on to a winner.
Pics of your elise Russ? S1/S2?
Probably selling mine in the next month or so
I'll keep an eye out for it.
I would say the S2000 does give 70% of the fun of an Elise but 80% more practical lol
This was my thread at the time mate, it was an S1 - And I can't wait to get another

I see you're partly in Cheltenham mate - I'm only in malmesbury and I work in Cirencester, so once it's on the road you're welcome to come over and we can go for a spin/have a nosey over it/check fit/size/boot size etc, make sure that if you do go for one it will fit your needs

Have I missed something? Why have you got a new engine?

Very kind of you Russ, I may take you up on that in the new year
Familiar with both areas.(I've actually used Neil Garner Performance Engineering in Malmesbury Business park for work on the VX in the past).
It'll pull a premium at race wars.
I like the S2000, it's quite a good little sportscar. Nice colour too.

I mean is it the same engine, is it a tinkered with engine? I'm confused.
Pop back and have a read of my first post in this thread mate

Yeah I know Neil, he did the geo on my Elise
You're fully welcome to mate
Flol - I think thats the first F&F quote in here!
Hopefully
Update needed tbh.
Lol beat me to it :rasp:
Update time!
So the short version is I bought this:
It's a 2000 year JDM F20C which has covered 69,000 miles, which (although I wasn't planning on buying an engine yet) it was offered to me at such a good price I couldn't refuse
And this Sunday just gone we did this:
Don't get too exited as It's not on the road as yet, but engine is in and running
I drove it down to Dan's workshop, with 2 mates following behind in my Golf estate with the new engine in the boot
Big thanks (Once again!) to Dan - legend as always, and bearing in mind he hasn't changed an F20C before, we started removing it at 10am, to driving it out the workshop at 8:30pm, and that includes stopping for 2 hours for lunch and dinner
Any work you need doing, honestly I can't recommend Dan enough
I drove it back on trade plates, so as said it won't be on the road for another 6-8 weeks, but first impressions are very good - the engine sounds nice and tight, the car drives very nicely, and once on VTEC is pulls a lot harder than the 2 other s2000's I have driven, so smiles all around

It was such a laugh that day. Glad to have helped mate, and glad to have smashed the book time on it too
yeh something like that.
