Also g4link plus ecu
front splitter etc uprated toe links lots I've missed but just to give you a general ideaI purchased this car 8yrs ago after being employed by Lotus cars U. K.
The brand never really appealed to me until I was given an Elise 111R as a company car, that was it I was hooked !.
Having driven all models of Elise/ Exige I found the pure rawness and driver feel of a S1 was the car for me.
I originally purchased an Elise s1 190bhp with a turbo technics kit which I owned for 4yrs this was a great car.
As I kept checking classifieds with all Lotus related cars this S1 came up WOW what an absolute machine, I sold my original S1 and went to view this S1 Lotus machine.
This car as the story goes was purched by an elderly gentleman who was friends with James Hunt for years ago loved everything racing wise.
He took the car to Maidstone sports cars in Kent best in the business for Honda/ Elise conversions and said build me an absolute weapon of a car which is what they did, no expense spared and monies was obviously not an issue.
With 68k plus in build receipts all Maidstone sports car this car had a bare chassis rebuild shown in photos 10yrs ago.
It has been used driven and enjoyed and is an absolute incredible piece of engineering .
