 Expert Posts: 2812    Location: Bournemouth | As you all know i sold the engine in the Metro to Daz so he can be the first to be over 300bhp and with the cash i told my pregnant wife we needed a new family car so i bought this 2005 Cat C Elise 111S the last of the k series powered cars (160bhp on lotus management)  I am hoping to build it on a budget less than the price of a straight low mileage 111S after using the knowledge from the metro Needs a little work and its with the infamous Cheeky Scott we will get it put back together and re-sprayed black. There is no chassis damage just front and rear clams and a few minors repairs Plan is to get the car back on the road with the std engine, whilst building the turbo block I thought long and hard about what engine to use, i was tempted by the VAG and T series but ultimately for me they are too heavy with the S2 already being over 800kgs. Honda just doesnt appeal to me (sorry Munday) and i have asked drew at Roverdose to build the engine..... Engine spec will be as follows DKE 79.4mm Forged Crank Wossner Pistons 80mm (but i have some 82mm so we will see) Wossner custom Rods VVC Head, ported and polished 32.4mm inlets 28.5mm exhaust Paul Ivey Valves, double springs, caps and solid followers Cams 270M Exhaust 285M inlet (may go custom or Newman PH2 will see) Custom Equal Length 1 7/8" Exhaust Manifold T25 flange GTX2860 turbo Siemans 660cc injectors AP Racing 220 Turbo clutch (good for 300lbft) W4 Uprated PG1 steel caged with Quaife Diff Charge cooled (more likely a custom Pro Alloy) Vibratechnics uprated engine gearbox mounts DTA Pro S80 with traction and launch control Going to go for 350bhp + will be happy with 300bhp but we will see what happens Suspension and Brakes will be uprated to suit, yet to decide but we will see Front damage, its missing the front crash structure, now bonded on  Front damage, its behind the clam so not an issue  Driver doors, need some repairs  DKE Crank, of unknown origin...79.4 stroke (we hope)  82mm forged pistons  after a day at cheeky scotts    | ||

 Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | I'd like one of these, with the 160 K series. K series have a nice engine note [4-5k] and I don't think a loud exhaust is needed. If a K series engine cover isn't needed... | ||

Like those wheels alot, i got the heavier 6 spokes on mine. really want to get a 111S rear diffuser for mine, i'm tempted to get the short roof aswell like you have as it would fit in the boot better.

Martin the engine loom and box will be for sale soon I want a hard top but free Louise they go four silly money What tyres do you use ? I've recently fitted Toyo T1R proxies to mine but it had continentals on before, the tyre walls are really soft on the T1Rs (which i also have on my metro VVC and my rover600turbo and liked them hence why I got them again) They will do for me but having a car which is fouced on handeling so much shows how important tyres can be to the feel of the car! They were about half the price of what tyres I had on before as i'm running standard 1.8 118hp engine went for it but didn't expect how different the car feels in the corners. I've got used to it now and still can press on well and they are good in the wet. On Seloc theres endless tyre threads and the seloc techwiki pages are very good. I was thinking about a hard top, but the £500 to 1k asking price I havn't bothered! even replacement rag top goes for £300 to 500. I'm tempted to get a short top roof as the long one takes up most of the boot space and has 2 extra catchs to undo when removing it. I've also smashed the bottom of my front clam on mine so if you ever see a black S2 clam i'm after one. I've just bought a front splitter to cover the holes! TBH i spent most of my hard top budget on the US spec LED rear lights so all 4 rear lamps act as tail lights I havn't got any fog lamps at the moment but I refitted my standard lamps for MOT time as i'm going to buy a S1 elise rear fog lamp for it. I also changed the side repeaters for astra mk4 items the last S2/exige which I got from the local scrappy, straight swap but your might have those already. | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Thanks Martin Drew at Roverdose has stripped the 1.4 spi engine i gave him and the good news is it is the damp liner block which should help with strength  Jonathon at JDM Dyno has kindly made an exhaust turbo manifold for Tinytim on here and i asked for a jig to be made so he will be making a second one for me It looks a tight squeeze but should be able to get everything in and will cut the panel behind the drivers seat to get the turbo in Turbo will be a GTX2860 and will be ceramic coated as will the exhaust to keep heat down. .jpg) _0.jpg) _0.jpg) Edited by djwilma 29/4/2012 10:10 AM | ||
