I bow to Mark's superior technical knowledge of course. And if it was designed that way, then why are there such vast variations in flutter experiences? Mine fluttered above 7k. Now with a bigger bov, not at all. Some do, some don't. And it's not just install quality.

OK! I think I'm going to tinker with my setup more as the need arises now... We just got proper s2000 whether here in Canada... Time to enjoy it!

I am also in communication with a supplier about stocking the Tial BOV if anyone is interested in both parts together.

Moderators i am happy to setup as a trader as i don't want to break the forum rules.
im in for both parts

I'm thinking of buying MrT's old S2000 if I can sell my S2000 and R32 quick enough but the hks issues are putting me off. The car would be a daily, doing 60 miles a day. Would the kit be reliable enough for this? Would a harder upgraded clutch be tiresome as a daily?

MR Ts car is a really nice example and hes already upgraded to a TIAL BOV for extra piece of mind. Regarding clutch Mr T's car had the oem clutch as most of us run with the HKS kit.

Yh I really liked yours and his when I saw them a couple times last year! You've both got pretty much the same cars, you aren't any closer to me in Salisbury than Bedford are you? Be good to go out in a hks charged S to compare it to a rotrex one.

I live close to stratford upon avon so not really any closer for you but if your ever in the area your welcome to come for a drive. I plan to go to ace cafe in a couple of weeks if your there your welcome to come for a spin. Or i believe Nate on here is located around Guildford area which is a fair bit closer for you.

@childsy - if you do upgrade the clutch, the Competition Stage 2 feels very OEM. I'm heading to Combe Friday so going near you, but I'm not sure a drive in mine will give you an indication of Mr T's, as it's stripped, uncomfortable and noisy on the road. But ping me if you like.
