Bull pesky
have now coleected 5 dead hondas, 3 that have come out of Elise’s
and there are a whole raft of new parts that make K a far more appropriate proposition than any conversion, let alone the 2 tonne honda/audi jokes.
Time will tell, Simon, who’s talking bull (Domecq? ).
My point is that there will inevitably be more & more K series going pop over the next 12-18 months, as Elises/Exiges with them, rack up the miles. Just how many of those people do you think will be queueing outside yours & DVA’s workshops for rebuilds, & how many could you both cope with? I’m of course assuming that “the book” will not be published in the above timescale, but even if it is & folk want to build their own engines, will the parts be available “off the shelf”?
The last 3 years have proved a resounding success for both the Honda, & Audi conversions, for the ordinary road/trackday punter. When it comes to actual Elise/Exige racing, the Hondas (plus Steve Williams’s Duratec & Gav’s Toyota) have reigned supreme.
You may not like it, but the perpetual arguments between you & DVA have turned dozens & dozens away from the K series. The majority of people I encounter tend to “side” with DVA, when assessing your online “discussions”, & not just because of the facts (or lack of them) being bandied about.
I (& others) find it very hard not to respond to your posts in the same manner as you write them. If you hadn’t/didn’t critiscise others in the way you do (both publicly & privately), you would have gained general respect.
So far, you have been all piss & wind.
The “fact” that you’re now accumulating knackered Hondas, to sit at the feet of your ever growing mountain of knackered K series proves nothing - & in fact, your undoubted forthcoming dissertation about how crap the Honda is, will largely be ignored.
