Figured Id start a build thread to keep track of everything, and in case anyone else is curious about doing a 2gr swap.
As some of you may know, this lotus was my twin brother Wes's, who passed away in a motorcycle crash in May. He always wanted to fix it up and update it, so I am picking up where he left off.

I initially looked into doing a built 2zz, but decided to go with something a little different. Decided to go with a 2gr swap and make it into something more along the lines of a cup 260. The plan is to start with the 2gr swap as NA, then once I get the kinks worked out, go turbo. Turbo will be a Borg Warner.
So with that, heres the build so far:
Added 17" and 18" rims and potenza re11s. Little on the big side but still prefer them over the 16s.
