White Lotus

To whomever posted the white Lotus, what is the origin of the bodywork? That is, who produced it? Is it an S2 chassis with Motorsports hybrid bodywork? What wheel sizes and width are shown? Look forward to a response.

ggelise, Thanks for the interest in the 2002. She has been a project that has taken longer than anticipated (as I am sure you understand all too well) Not sure of the hp yet as the engine has to be broken in with only 350 miles. Just sort of finished the restoration. I will post some pics if you would like. I actually installed a Lotus stage 11 muffler.
Curious; your header pipe runners seem a bit long before they go into the 4-1 collector. Why the choice to go that way, would you not lose some of the low end torque?

Regardless, Love your car and what you have done to it. and the white one is stunning!

That takes some commitment, well done. I'll certainly stay tuned. Are those oil lines running thru the passenger side axle port?

Rob.

Chris that is awsome. Do you know who the tuner from Motec is? Jim Munn? What Motec ecu are you running? M48, M400? If you come to town give me a heads up I'd like to meet up and see your car. I am only about 10-15 minutes from it. That is going to be a rocket.

The cars not a Toyota engined car oil cooler is in the driverside side intake. The front ducts were covered to manage brake temps (that's all they are used for) Wet cool day needed the heat in the brakes!

Chris Parker, CPR Fabrication. I don't have his address or phone number at the moment, but he is right next to Burns Stainless in Costa Mesa.

This project looks awesome, where did you find the wing on the back, and what kind of power and acceleration can you achive with this setup?

Im doing allmost the same to my elise myself, but with less power i belive, since my enginge is a stock K20A only with a Rotrex C30 duct-taped on. (K-Pro ECU, what do you use again?)

I really liked the new-age style IC.

Again Congrads on a successful project.

This is my enginebay if you where wondering how it looked. (Work in progress)

RE:HONDA POWER ELISE WITH AIR COND

CAN YOU STILL MAINTAIN THE AIR COND WITH THE HONDA K20A ENGINE?
