The Start...

So, a couple of years ago I decided that plan for a Honda conversion on my S1 1999 Lotus Elise. Interestingly, up to that point, it was not something that I really desired until one fateful afternoon when Daniel gave me a pax ride in his car!

 

What blew me away was the shear difference in pace, noise, acceleration etc. The list went on. I was officially hooked.

 

Initially I thought about going for a full turn-key solution, however with time, it became apparent that with me the Lotus ownership was far beyond just the driving and the chance to work on the car myself was too good to resist.

 

Now, I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, however I do know my way around the engine bay and not totally without common sense.

 

I promised myself that I was not going to blog the build, but what the hell. I will do my best to update the blog as I go a long, but progress my be slow due to my work commitments.

 

I hope you find the blog interesting at the very least.

 

Enjoy.

Good luck. Ive been know to use a spanner from time to time. Im not that far away so if you need a lift, just shout :)

 

Good man. If you are every curious and have some time to kill, please pop over for a nose and a chat. The build is much more fun that way :)
