S1 Audi Elise

Cheers all, that’s the geo done and MOT passed with flying colours. Now to use it oh once I’ve solved the ecu issue…

Used the guys at Automek in EK, there was 4 exige in getting seen to at the same time - highly recommended

That's great news!

It just up the road from me, I'll remember that if I finally ever get round to getting a lotus!

Majestic

HOW proud / satisfied must you be, Phil?!

[philthy]

The first proper drive was an incredible feeling! Even better after all the wheels were pointing in the right direction

It’s still an ongoing project, but are these cars ever not?

[campbell]

Correct

But at least you know where all the bodges are

[Rusty]

Now onto the Honda one

That looks superb, congrats on completing the build. Look forward to seeing it out and about.

[Shug]

Absolutely bloody stunning Phil

I have been quietly working away at some issues.

Fitted a new in tank fuel pump from Spitfire to do away with the secondary pump and aged oem setup. Luckily someone had previously cut out the bulkhead for access so I didn’t need to drop the tank. I still had to remove the seats and Safety Devices cage for access.

Now a neater engine bay and no worries about running lean on full boost. Even have some head room for more power in the future if I wish

Water injection is worth a look. Might be considered old tech now though.

Any winter updates Phil?

[philthy]

Nothing to update really I’m afraid. It’s been in hibernation so I’ve been working on finishing the garage.

Looking to get the silver honda Elise running now before Spring

[philthy]

So an update, I have managed a whopping 291 miles between MOTs

And to top it off the clutch clave cylinder failed on its way to this years MOT. The good part is it’s inside the gearbox which means I’ll need to remove the engine to fix it.

Does anyone have an engine crane I can borrow?
