Has the option to buy yours back appeared then Reg? I noticed Elaine posted about it on facebook

Yeah #001 was originally a lotus owned car and used for all the press related outings. It's a mica silver car. There's a guy over on seloc compiling a register. Mine since then has had several rover Ks, and Audi lump and now has a Honda k20. It currently sits on a set of nitrons the LSS being removed long before me buying it. If suggest anything you change to keep the originals, as putting back to standard when selling will help.

Low to Mid 20's I'd say Reg.

Nick, That looks fab! What number is it? I own #001 which no longer has the standard seats or k series lump in it.

They are made in batches, but come up fairly regularly second hand

Paintworx in Loughborough did a lovely job on my exige.

Your car is compatible with a Garw dash which may be a little easier to get hold of than a shurlock cluster. Where are you based? I could possibly lend you my dash to enable movement of the car?

Looks great pal. Definitely been great to hear your progress during the last year. Hope to see it and you on track soon.

Currently out of stock but you can get them o. eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Indicator-Bulb-Holder-REPAIR-Lotus-Elise-Series-S2-2001-to-2011-/391854019443?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Just as an update I have managed to sort out what goes where just got a few parameters to alter and should all be running fully. Quick teaser below

I've got a second set Chris. But I'm not overly close pal.

I've just managed to get one of the Garw IC7 dashs for the 135R. I've got a bit of an issue with inputs. Everything powers up but I don't appear to be able to get any input from the ECUs. The dash has an S2 05 interconnection I'm guessing with my car being an 03 rover K series this might be where my issue lies. The car is running a hondata Kpro4 + standard lotus ECU piggy backed.

I'd say nitrons are definitely night and day even on a rough road but it will massively depend on the cars Geo setup, spring ratings/helper springs and the shocks valving etc. I've had a couple of Elise platform cars and had nitrons of one form or another on most the cars. My S1 for example when I first got it had nitrons with 700lb rear and 550lb front springs with 150lb helpers front and rear. It was utterly sublime on a smooth surface. Felt like going off road if you ran over an ant. I swapped these 475 rear 400 front with no helpers this made the car ride beautifully on all surfaces.

Looks good Luke! Is it a motorsport car?

Welcome!
