I've had at least 10 people either PM me or ask about it in threads.
And that's without really advertising it. So I think there is definite interest.
I'm mean no, it won't handle like an S2000. But if you're making to power to need something like this, odds our, you are a drag racer.

It's been awhile since I updated this thread, and this project has been put on hold several times due to lots of different reasons, but we are back on track and I'd hate to say it'll be done soon, but I really hope it is. A few things have changed from the initial build, but that's how it goes.
I'll just post a bunch of pics here, and if anyone has questions just ask....haha. I'll answer them the best I can.
The short of everything, motor plate, adapter plate, steering rack, front suspension, etc. is all done. I just got all the engine, ignition, etc. wiring wrapped up. Waiting on the clutch can to finish up the tunnel area and mid/adapter plate. The rearend, axles, brakes, etc. is all done. As initially planned, everything is "bolt in" in the rear stock wheel wells and openings. And my fabricator is wanting to duplicate some of these parts like the front suspension/brake setup, motor and adapter plates, etc.
Anyways, on to the pics.

Engine harness about 90% done. Ran out of heat shrink and labels. Finished now, but don't have any current pics.
All cleaned up ready to move forward once my clutch can arrives

I love that manifold with all my heart.
Also I will be watching to see how those pencil coils work with your setup
What trans you end up with ?

Different G-Force.
I had an GF5R, sold it, then was actually looking for a Liberty and found a great deal on a GF2000 that I couldn't pass up.
The ignition setup is actually simple and very cost efficient compared to others. AEM Twin Fire Ignition, and (4) AEM Pencil Coils (long). I didn't have any luck with the Okadas with the water/meth. They'd probably be fine on pump gas or race gas (depending on how much boost you are running) though. The water/meth puts a lot of demand on the ignition system.
