As per my other blog entries, as it stands the car now runs about 317bhp on the Jackson Racing Super Charger and oil cooler.

I am still running Stark's standard 4:2:1 exhaust manifold as I am yet to convince myself that I can shell out the £1K plus for a 4:1 system (watch this space...]]> Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:32:00 +0000 http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-159-charge-cooler-installation/ http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-158-side-air-scoops/
Unfortunately, with the addition of the SC, the engine bay temps have gone up somewhat and reading through various forum entries, it seems pretty inconclusive as to whether...]]> Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:22:00 +0000 http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-158-side-air-scoops/ http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-153-lotus-elise-s1-headlight-covers/

I have seen the gear cables being routed in two ways.

As for me, Toda A3 is where I really want to end up, however I am advised that for this, I will need to upgrade the springs too. ...]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:18:00 +0000 http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-149-jdm-cams-upgrade/ http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-148-oil-pressure-gauge/
I was very keen not to have additional gauges mounted on the dash, spoiling the interior simplicity of the S1 dash. By getting the digital gauge 'hidden' in the dash, they are only visible once the car is on, however they are completely...]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:45:00 +0000 http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-148-oil-pressure-gauge/ http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-147-carbon-lorraine-pads-cl5/
Of late, I have been running SBS Pros all round and to be honest, I found them to be a big step from the Green stuff I used to have.  Once hot, they have...]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:25:00 +0000 http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-147-carbon-lorraine-pads-cl5/ http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-146-oil-cooler-ali-radiator/
As you may have noticed reading through the installation, I opted not to install an oil cooler and upgrade the standard radiator as part of the original installation.

Apart from time, I really wanted to see whether or not the charger installation would work effectively without having the need to install these two elements -...]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:05:00 +0000 http://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/blog/32/entry-146-oil-cooler-ali-radiator/
