    there are some european shops who do a similar conversion.
    sorry jp, I misred "the honda equipped cars" to mean those which had a Honda engine, not those where an owner had pushed a Honda engine into it as clearly any conversion like that is "engineX equipped" and by now I think every type of engine has been tried to be shoe-horned into a Lotus and they ahve nothing to do with the 240R.

    Making them "better" by doing it is up for debate with a 5% change in weight bias to the rear

    good points!
    ive never driven any of these cars but it seems more sensible(succssesful) than sticking an Audi twin turbo V6 in the back!
