Duck, that's nice, exactly what I am looking for, a side by side, 582 powered 2 seater that can take two adults, 180 to 200kg, plus luggage and 50l of fuel. Oh yes and it must NOT be a tail dragger.

Now given sea level and a 582, what sort of performance can I expect, i.e. speed wise., I'm not expecting 100mph I just want to cruise at 60mph minimum and 75 to 80 at 75%rpm. I would also like to get 700fpm or more climb at MTOW.

I can't really comment about the performance at sealevel but here are some typical figures for the Highveld on a 25 deg. summer day. You can try and do the math (I failed maths at school )
1-up = 500 - 600 fpm climbout.
2-up = 300 - 350 fpm climbout.
1-up = 70 mph cruise at 80% throttle
2-up = 60 mph cruise at 80% throttle

Hope this helps.
