Right things have started to get moving again and progress is starting to be made!
After 2 months of buggering about sorting mounts for things and drilling holes, making brackets and lots of tig welding the chassis has been sent off to be sand blasted and powder coated!
Broster etc - this is the trailer that we built from scratch
one side of the garage awaits the chassis return:
Chassis stands:
The F20 - s2k engine and box
modified bell housing:
Chassis In etch primer after sand blasting:
Chassis after powdercoating silver/grey metallic:

 at using an S2000 engine.
I thought TB's didn't benefit this engine though?

TB's and management will increase the torque not the power, plus with having the management we can chnage the vtec parameters and gives us the option incase we want to run a supercharger one day!
And Dave - no we wanted something thats very driveable and reliable to start with.
Supercharger is an option yes, but would prefer to get an import 2.2 engine and do it on that

The feeling will be awesome mate 
We rebuilt a moto-x bike from bits and to hear it start up again was great, after all the hard work, but that is nothing compared to what you have done Great Work Mate, look forward to seeing the final result
