I might sell my S1 . I have an interested buyer,but not quite sure what I'll get next. Then this came up:

http://pistonheads.com/sales/212343.htm

looks good judging from the picture. But only one picture and the text doesn't say much frown I've asked for some additional pictures from the owner.

A couple of questions:

1: Is the kit used to install the k20 the right one ? There's so many kits floating around and the general opinion seems to be that the kit sold by Eliseparts is the best one. Is it the same that Blink use ?

2: Any people outside the UK have any experience with getting spare parts for these converted cars ? I'm not going to drive to the UK for every service tongue out Not that I don't like the UK,but it would be cost prohibitive in the long run smile

Plan B would be to have someone assist me in finding a good S1 that I can convert. Anyone willing to give a hand ? smile I'll pay all expenses .

I'm just throwing ideas around at the moment. Maybe I won't (or can't bring myself to ) sell my S1 ,but I sure like the idea of a Honda engine in the back biggrin

that depends when it was done. i think blink origninally had their own kit and then started fitting the eliseparts one. still has a good reputation if it is the earlier one.

get it

Thanks for the link. But that is an S2, which will not be possible. They are way to expensive here frown

AFAIK the blink kit is not the Link-Up.

The price is about right for that car with that spec, not a bargain, but not unreasonable given the spec. I'd want to have a closer look at the install though, and see what the map is like before passing judgement.

Which, unless I'm very much mistaken, didn't have a particularly good map. The Link-Up and Sinc's kits have moved on a fair bit since.

What seats do you have?
What ICE install do you have?
What wheels do you have?
How is your gear linkage?

What seats do you have? - Fortunately for me, I managed to plough my money into things such as swirl pots & oil coolers. This was as opposed to being forced to purchase seats for fat fuc.., like your goodself.

What ICE install do you have? - Pah, ICE! Kin Chav..

What wheels do you have? - Fat ones!

How is your gear linkage? Improved but I confess, not as good as yours. Having said that, Kevin told me that you've recently started applying vaceline to it due to it's tightness hehe

I'll pass on this car. It doesn't matter about the map for me, I'll reprogram it as I have tuned Hondata since 2002. But I want to have the best kit and not risk running into problems.

Anyone know of an S1 with the link-up kit for sale ?
