Upgrades Advice Pls

[Snapper]

Taking delivery on my S2 Exige and was wondering if anyone has fitted the following boys toys upgrades:

 

Starter Button.... Had one in my old S2 111s but where I had it fitted I cant do it on the Exige.. So if anyone has had one fitted to an Exige or 111s, where have you had it fitted and which one did you get?

 

Change up Lights... Could never see the one on the rev counted on my old S2 111s... Had the Aces Systen (Change Up & Down) on the Caterham which was fantastic..... But might be a bit more difficult to fit to the Exige. (Harder to locate the control Box). Has anyone fitted some to an Exige or 111r? If so what make and where have you had the fitted to.

 

If you could post any pictures of the said items fitted would be most helpful..

Anyone got them in a Lotus?

If you find out about fitting a starter button, I'd be interested in that too, although I do have some instructions and wiring diagram for fitting on to an S1. Dunno if it's the same as an S2 though.

Found Starter Buttons on the Demon Tweeks site and there is a fairly nice looking one....

 

I will let you know how it goes when I get it fitted..

Cool !!

 

Is it this one ??

 

Starter Button

 

Where would you locate it in the cockpit ?

 

Just FYI - I know that the Federal Elise has a starter button fitted as standard - check the picture below, it's the big silver button to the left of the picture.

I quite fancy a started button in the exige to.

 

I've thought about the blanking plate just behind the gear lever. In the federal Elise its for the hazard lights. You can see the button on the first picture above.

 

Only problem is that the cable run might be a bit long ?? not sure if that is a problem.

Just been looking on those pictures and noticed the rev counter on the us elise.

 

US Elise Rev counter

 

Very different spacing for 1000 -2000- 3000 than the rest of the rev range.

 

Not the same as the exige.

 

Unless anyone has a newer exige than me with it ??

There is a thread on Exiges.com about fitting shift lights - you can use the Omex remote type system and put the control box behind the stack and use wires going to the stack for the power and trigger ( earth to the stack bracket )

 

Quite sure it will be same theory for the S2 ..

[Snapper]

Thats the one (Re: Demon Tweeks).. On My S2 111s I had one between the two air vents just above the hazards.

[halfpenny]

Yeah - I think it might fit on the Exige there too, depends on the diameter of the switch and bezel.

[Snapper]

A friend of mine at DemonTweeks is going to have a look at one and measure it up prior to me ordering one.

 

Will keep you posted on that.

 

Ordered the Aces Change up lights today and will also keep you posted on them.

As I said my mate Dave Kimberley at Demon Tweeks has measured up the Starter button and I have forwarded the details on to Nick Whale service Manager Ian.

 

His tec chaps have had a look at the the area between the two air vents in the center area of the dash just above the hazards and recon they can fit it there.

 

So tomorrow I will order the push button start and as soon as Nick Whales have fitted them I will email you some pictures.

[halfpenny]

Cool - cheers Snapper.

 

I visited NW recently for some new tyres, so if they do a good job which they undoubtedly will, I look forwards to going back !

Just posted some pics of my new car.... See Link

Very nice!

 

Sure you will be able to get some great shots of it with the camera kit you must use.

 

What camera do you use day to day for your journo work?
