These things again.  Two were sold for GBP5000 each last year by South
Hereford Motors.  One was shoe-horned into an S2 and I've seen the
result.

The two sold in the UK came without looms and ECUs.  The S2 I saw was
using a 'roll your own' engine management system - a damn great box
in the plenum behind the firewall.  Reading between the lines, I think
they were having a lot of trouble getting it right.
