However they have decided to not go ahead as they could not see much business at the cost they predicted of near £30,000 so for now the 200bhp Kit for S is about as far it is going to go for now that is..

That was never more than a rumour. I don't know if (certain) mags got tired of spinning the same old yarn, or what, but finally they (kind of) came clean by saying it had been 'axed'.

Everything I ever saw/heard indicated it was never to be in the first place.
