Thanks for the replys so far....really appreciate the input!

The feeling in the Manx community is that SPCNS gives you the ability to secure proper insurance for the vehicle and perhaps some protection against liability.

SB100 gives you the opportunity to run a modern engine without having to package catalytic converters, EGR, etc.

For example, someone pulls out in front of you and causes and accident. Their trigger happy lawyer comes after you for partial fault and during discovery finds that your "1963 VW Beetle" is a heavily modified vehicle with a 400 hp motor and virtually no VW parts. Does that increase your risk of liability in a suit? It probably gives the prosecution ammo for making a case that your "unsafe modifications" contributed to the accident. Don't know for certain, but that is one concern.

The other is CHP scrutiny when you vehicle gets too far away from its registered title. Most of us have experienced that first hand.
