I want to get a seven (eventually), and it seems the Duratec motor is preferred (at least by the Brits on blatchat). The only place here that even mentions Duratec motors is Autocourse, Inc., but all the "official" web pages for Sevens don't mention them. Also, Autocourse doesn't list their address on their web page. This makes me wonder: are they a reputable business? Have any of you dealt with them? Then again, there are many pages that mention Autocourse as a Caterham-approved dealer, but looking closer, none of those pages have been updated in the last 18 months. I'm a little bit wary of a business that I can't find current background information on, even if there does appear to be some history associated with them.
Also, does anybody here have experience with the Duratec? I understand there may be complications for this application, beyond the opposite intake/exhaust issue. But it sure would be nice to have the lighter, more powerful Duratec over the Zetec, provided it was cost-effective and not too much of a headache.
