very reliable, some use more oil than others when driven hard, but Honda recomoned weekly level checks so all normal.
Not heard any horror stories on them, other than people not checking the oil and letting them run dry lol so owner error there.
Not sure on the rest, only one issues I have heard on the box, some had an issue getting to second gear.

Very reliable as long as you service them regularly,on my second one. Two of my mates also have them as daily cars.
Most 2nd gear issue only happen when it's first started. Once warmed up - no issues.

Sounds like a good plan, and defo not seen it done before.. only problem is the look you're going for on the outside, but then thats only my opinion.
If you are going to supercharge it, forget the Jackson Racing option because its crap... you'd be far better off with a Rotrex, this is the place that my mate was very close to going to for the conversion: TTS. The figures quoted are at the wheels and the scope for higher figures is quite large even though you'd still be running a relatively small amount of boost.
Cheers,

Sorry, I didn't mean crap crap... I meant crap. HTH. 
Nah, seriously, for the money you'd be spending on the JRSC then you would be better off going for the Rotrex as you get better gains and more BHP for your wonga. I'm sure there are other things which should steer you away from the JRSC, I can ask my mate next time I see him, but I know he did a LOT of research on this subject and by the time he'd finished he had totally discounted the JRSC setup.
