yeh.. but it soo needs vtec to slap in and rev its nuts off.. disapointin 4 that sole reason, otherwise cool
unfortunately there is no way to put a honda v6 twin cam in without cuting the rear wall bracings and the strut towers as its about 70 mm too wide from memory.. (measured it myself).. so sadly disapointed there would be no twin turbo s3000
so i was very suprised to find that a v8 would fit..lol
i havent measured up the single cam c30'z so not sure abt them fiting but no point realy.. there was also an engine called a j seres wich used a 60 degree V6 instead ov the normal 90 degree c seres.. its single cam ofcourse.. but it would prove a facinating experiment to use the nsx heads on the j and fit it in the s2k... unfortunately i dont hav huge wds ov cash so i cant try it, but it would be soo awsome if someone tryed it
heres a super bodgy pic i made 4 fun a while bac

^ I disagree (respectfully).
I really do hope I'm wrong, but even those page 3 pictures are suspicious to me. Admittedly, the pixelation is a little more controlled than the first three photos, but lighting is still off.
Also, for the one where engine is below the car, look where the fender overlaps the corner. Not natural.
For the other one, looking up at the chassis, look towards the yellow lift. The light is coming from two different directions (separate directions that is, not just two), and the engine is blocking NONE of it. The depth of field shouldn't be that flat either.
Finally, simply zooming in will make the clipping path around the motor quite apparent.
Hboy? Prove me wrong? Update?
