A little high if you ask me, although comes with honda & nitrons mentions nothing about any upgrades to the brakes which would probably be inportant!

Ad really should say whats been spent on it in the last 2 years rather than just stating that.

I think it's a reasonable basis to work from. A base car plus the NA conversion is going to cost you around £18k, thats before any options get ticked. The Nitrons are on it which is a plus, it's got Corbeau seats (another tick) and at worst you might want to upgrade the pads to RS42's (assuming they haven't been, but I think it highly unlikely).

If you want a Honda'd S1 then it's worth a look.

You can go that route, but I don't believe it's a must have. Better pads are the minimum, and generally it's then sensible to go for some Ali-belled discs, given that the replacement rate will be more frequent with extra power (cost savings on only having to purchase rotors going forward).
