Was a private sale , the annoying thing is the Honda garage cant have a look at it till Monday 6th , so i have 7 days of waiting.
I have found a used Diff with 30K on it that i can have delivered for £180 so that has softened the blow slightly, however its all the otehr parts that it might need

I would be angry, I would then cry, I would then set it on fire and claim on insurance and cut my losses.

Bugger. Honda's are usually top for reliability.

above 9k is a major danger area with these engines.
The s2000 is perfectly tuned from the factory, the inlet manifold is so good that replacing it with 1k worth of jenvey bodies doesnt increase the power at all.
The only way to change them is to add management, such as emerald so you can increase the torque and reduce the bhp.
