Ruf EKS
I have seen this setup on the 'bay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
And it prompts a few questions:
Is the setup complete? i.e. can I install it in a car without breaking the bank or looking hopelessly for any elusve missng part?
I'd love such a setup but I'd rather be cautious.

George,
I have had similar thoughts and concerns. What I have read about the EKS is that Ruf stopped making parts for it and there is some part that is hard to find/fix. When it breaks, Ruf converts the car back to stock.
I have had good and bad experiences with the sellers, so, I would not be surprised if the critical part was missing. Even if it is all there, how do you install it? I have no idea and I could not find instructions on line. Ruf might be able to install it, but, as mentioned earlier, they do not really provide support for it anymore.
Just my thoughts on it. It would be really cool if you could get it to work though.

I had EKS in my CTR-2 and it was not reliable and there was no one to repair it. Ruf replaced it at their factory in Phaffenhausen. I would not recommend it.
