My S2000 transformed itself into a fire-breathing monster when a conrod exited stage right...

Doesn't seem to be.

More importantly though - tell me more about this "Snake Oil" stuff! Does it come in S2000 fitment and what gains will I see?
There you go Keith:

I suppose it had to exist, didn't it?

Some very odd chinglish (well, thaiglish) claims in that advert.

"Provides split ends to healthy hair" - well that's never going to catch on.


"rich in nutrients from three sources.." one of which is in fact snake oil. Which then isn't listed on the ingredient dec.

Still, might give it a go anyway - chuck it in the old 710 filler and see if it helps the piston velocities.

iIt looks as if you made the common mistake of mixing Mugen parts with the Spoon sticker and the electric turbo charger off ebay. That was never going to work was it.

Could be right.

I got this Spoonbill air cleaner off e-bay & I think it got sucked in the inlet tract.

Maybe I put too much oil on the feathers.

Well, the instructions were in German and I didn't know if it meant pen, suspension, or feather...
