Little update.
The car has been brilliant for it's intended purpose of the odd trip to work / supermarket up here in Aberdeen. Starts every time and far more interesting the drive than a boggo shitbox which I could have bought and lost my shirt on.
Ive been correcting the few faults it had, and it's now had 2 new (used) driveshafts to fix the worn ones which were vibrating, new gearbox rear seal as it was leaking, and a new front lambda. It really does drive superbly now. As I always say, lambda sensors should be considered a service item and pay for themselves. Mine is now back to 240 miles to a tank instead of 180
Only downside is I need a rear abs sensor as one of them died during driveshaft job...
I will probably keep it a few more months as the job up here rolls on and sell just before summer.

I aim to break even
I meant to uodate this little interesting point. The car had mega bad hesitation issue in traffic when I bought it, like really bad, and had planned to run through my normal list of checks to fix... but as with any S2000 I've had, first job was a new primary lambda as the mpg was down. It straight away 100% fixed the hesitation issue. It is on the list in my FAQ thread of causing this, but previous cars it's been other things. The throttle behaves like a dream now, A dead lambda sends a fixed low voltage to the ecu and the ecu then thinks this lean condition needs more fuel, so it bungs in more fuel... and hence the car behaves badly on light throttle and mpg drops - about 40 miles to a tank in worst case.
I can't emphasise enough that the primary lambda is a service item and I'd replace it every 20k miles personally. For what they cost, you will gain it back in mpg.
I always use Rockauto for these

It can, it depends if you have it switched on in the AEM or if you're running a fixed map or 02 feedback map. Normally people fit a wideband...
