If I were going for an S2 I would go for this car over building one or having one built, it will save you a lot in the long run, all the extras really add up. If you were to have one built then MSC build a good car but judging by the bills for the build on mine I'd definitely look at HPE 1st before deciding.

Wow that looks brilliant - don't want a Z4M do you?? wink

Great to see a low mileage chassis with the conversion.

I am very lucky.A friend had a s1 Exige and spent £20,000 putting in a s/c Honda,
nitrons,uprated brakes and Honda motorsport driveshafts, also steel braided brake
lines,that was at Maidstone sports cars at few years ago.
It is a very low geared car-4000rpm at 80 mph and is not really practical for everyday use and is very noisy!
As you can imagine it is searingly quick in any gear, and will pull from 30mph in 6th gear to over 150+mph -it's a beast.
The lightest Elise is the s1, but if I were going to have a Honda conversion I would get a s2,more refined and better built, and get one already converted,it's so much cheaper ,but the problem is there aren't that many around.

Forgot to say my friend spent all that money on the above car and I bought it for £29,000.
To buy a good S1 Exige and do all that work would cost considerably more!
