Guess mine isn't quite a GT then. I'm not the biggest fan of the body kit anyway, but I can't help wondering how much of a bargain it is if you have to have the whole lot - strakes included.

Could do with the GT3 pack. Where you get an S2000 tuned as you can in GT3. Don't think that would make

I think Ins Companies will always quote you higher for a soft top because of the roll over danger! I don't see how they can draw a distinction with a removable hard top though unless you have to promise to keep it on!

Thanks for the feedback Brian, I'm glad you all had a good day out

I'm a little disappointed about the infomation on the "GT" version, I'd hoped that it wouild at least be offered in a one off colour a'la Jordan Civic VTi - my vote would have been for a Racing White one with the white JDM 6 spokes

Fingers crossed that the Mugen S2000 makes the dealers.. or better still that they begin to offer Mugen parts as warrantied accessories (fat chance!)

I'm not to sure there would be so much benefit from a Mugen S2000 anymore. Nice idea, but you wouldn't get much more power but the price would rocket. This would pitch the car far closer to the real purchase price of Boxsters for example. That said, Mugen in conjunction wiht Honda are probably the best chance of a reasonably priced stroker kit... but I don't think that will happen, at least for a while yet.
