Hi Mark,
Well, I'm recently new to Roadsters, but coming from the 510 world, my
opinion is that this may be a good candidate for a VG30 swap, or an L20b
swap. There are a limited number of roadsters left, and to part one out
would be sad. I've been holding on to a 510 for months that I'm trying to
sell as a whole, rather than part it out. Heck, I could use several of the
parts myself, but I'm doing my best to keep it alive. Just my .02 worth....
