    Freshly built S2000 on ITB's and dry sump?
    I will be building a 2.7ltr S2000 at the end of the year so this would be available.
    What budget do you have?

    sorry to rob th thread for a moment, but a 2.7 s2000? do you have a thread i can read up about that,

    with regards to engine choice, the zetec seems the new pinto now days.
