Re: 111R rebuild
Top work! Looking good.
Just an aside from a non-expert; with the extra cooling in the boot lid, would it be worth adding a couple more cooling ducts in the under tray to help air flow?

Re: 111R rebuild
Dom, don't think it'll need any more cooling that engine cover is well opened up now, but always an option.

Edit: I am getting well pi55ed off with Flickr, the amount of times I have had to sort broken links to photo's is doing my nut in. Is photobucket any better? or is there other good free picture hosting sites anyone can recommend.

I've never had a problem with Photobucket dropping a link...
Looks like it's well on the way mate. Glad to see Elaine's old ECU being put to better use than a shelf ornament

Re: 111R rebuild
Sign up to dropbox ... then you just copy the photos into a folder on your machine, they shuffle off to Dropbox and you can generate a link to embed on the website.
BUT you will need to resize the images in the first place to make it reasonable image size and reasonable resolution - presumably you're happy enough to do that - pretty sure even the noddy windows photo editor allows you to save a photo as suitable for "web" use.
If you decide to go for dropbox, send me an email to robiniddon at googlemail dot com and I will send you an invite - gives me an extra 250Mbyte of storage
Cheers,
Robin

Re: 111R rebuild
Mike I agree with dom to get more air flow you will also require more inlet , with the turbo I have the clam open behind the rear number plate , however with the under tray,s fitted it has quite a large impact on engine bay temp ( compared to no trays ) I also have the side pods opened up but this winter I intend fitting another nact duct or two to the tray

Photobucket has always worked well for me.

Re: 111R rebuild
Google Picasa and Picasaweb are excellent. These handle multiple sizes quite well too.
I do like Dropbox, but have only really used for data files / docs and some videos.

Re: 111R rebuild
Thanks for the suggestions, will check them out and probably upload the whole photo folder for the build and edit the 1st post when I get some time.
Busy day.............

Re: 111R rebuild
Cool.
I was crossing your fingers that you'd be able to keep the extruded pedals, but kinda thought there would be a reason that Lotus changed the whole kaboodle when they went DBW. On the plus side, the brake pedal feel was a lot better with the newer box when we test drove a pre and post 06 car, when Elaine was buying hers.

Shug, will be a shame to lose them, but it's not like you really notice them.
More added.

Your have a very understanding wife to allow you to disappear into the garage for days on end...............after returning from long periods of " Africa"
Can I ask a trite question?
How do you know that the Engine Lid is going to fit with all your chargecooler/Supercharger kit and kaboodle crammed underneath?
Apologies if you have covered this already in your immense thread
