no problem, I am having fun doing it.
the performance gain is unquestionable cos it's just somse simple physics. It's a relatively simple big chunk of metal with no moving part within so I think reliablity is not a big issue here, if it works today it's very like to be working the month after.
The biggest issue is balancing as well as how well it absorb engine vibration here as per AK said, if it fails it fails right at the moment you first start the engine after installing it. The engine will vibrate like hell.

Ansolutely awesome!! I know it might not sounds right, but the MRS might be the best fun car i have ever driven.
(Yes! Better than other monsters i've driven before!)
It just gives you the original driving experience with no ESP or whatever you name it, that makes me wanna get the Exige S

small engine, so u can use it to the fullest
MR, best balance
driver seated closer to ground, feels much faster given the same speed
adding together i= a lot of FUN!
