According to the guys on the ITR website there aren't any more than 500 DC5's in the uk? Of course I have the only one on the isle of man so I guess that makes the S really common

It's probably to with the fact the engine in the DC5 shares a lot of the same parts as the one in the CTR so anything made for the CTR can easily be transferred to the DC5.

(IIRC the DC5 and S2000 use the same fittings for front breaks ie BBKs fit both )

Globally I bet there are fewer S2000 than 'DC5's - In America the DC5 equivalent is really popular

Presumably parts like Supercharger will use exactly the same mounting points/inlet diameters etc.. could be wrong

I would guess so. My point was that a DC5 Type R is rare

Exclusivity = premium
I think its more a case of exclusivity = narrower spread of R&D costs.

oops looks like i've started something off here

what I should have said is the K20 or K20a (virtually the same) are a LOT more common than F20C's hence more mods available for them
