I've been hearing how parts such as differential are very expensive. Well, I think they're not, at least here in Slovenia. The new diff here costs 650$, new head cca 3700$, new block with all moving stuff inside also 3700$, new gearbox 3000$, new plastic window 300$.... The only thing that I find expensive is hardtop for about 3800$... What are those prices in the USA?

And btw, the s2000 in Slovenia IS expensive. It costs 47000$. It is a small market, overall only 16 have been sold. I guess distributors policy is, who wants it, will buy it, no matter what is the cost ;-)
