How easy/difficult is it to upgrade the engine..? I imagine the brakes & shox would need to upgraded as well to appreciate the performance increase.
Can get 250 bhp out of a K series,but it will cost about as much a Honda conversion and will need rebuilt every 3-5000 miles at a cost of £4+ k (just ask anyone who owns a Caterham R500).

Dave Andrews is apparently the man who knows it all -

I'd love the R500 but the unreliable engine puts me off........ K series with much more than 220 bhp is asking for problems.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
