The layout of the kit looks to be going in the right direction. However, it seems like it could be cleaned up a bit. This is the first time I have every heard/seen of this company.

A-spec is pretty well-known and respected in the FD Rx-7 community, and I believe they play with Vipers as well. Ive got some things from them, and most of their work is top-notch. I wouldnt expect anything less for their S2000 stuff.

This kit has been out for a few years. They never really advertised it on any of the S2000 forums and it never got much interest. I'd bet that if you're local and willing to drop off your car, they'll do whatever you want. I'm not sure if they're still selling it mail order though. As mentioned earlier, they are highly respected in the RX-7 community.

A-spec is a good shop for Rx7's and Nissan's but i would not take my s2k there, i know my buddy took his car there to install VSC and they wired up the Black box to the oem ecu with tape not solder, they also charged him $2200 for the install. There customer is not that great either...

his car is in there picture gallery...

i was there when the turbo kit was being developed it looked nice, but they guy who was runing the only kit ever made had issues with manifold bolts coming loose and vibration.

if you wanna see the kit in person, i can call Niko i think he still has the kit..

This can be a common problem with many manifolds and has little to do with the kit's design other then the head flange thickness. There are many ways to remedy this type of problem.
