Lotus Elise S1 in New Aluminium 1998.  Conversion done by Maidstone Sports cars 6,000 miles ago. The Lotus has done 108,000 miles in total, but seeing as the brakes, suspension, engine, gearbox, drive shafts, mounts, radiator, hoses, complete interior trim, wheels etc were upgraded at 102,000 miles the vehicle has no mechanical issues at all.  It is original paint so does have stone chips on the lower front and a few marks here and there.  Take two steps back and it looks immaculate and amazing.

Upgrades are

Honda K20A2 normally aspirated showing 240bhp on the Maidstone Dyno.  Complete Maidstone install (mounts, exhaust, drive shafts, oil cooler, engine mounts, Hurricane air intake (sounds awesome). The vehicle retains it's boot.

Nitron N46 adjustable suspension

Huge belled ally discs front and rear with Pagid Pads

Ally radiator with full silicone hoses throughout

Braided brake lines

upgraded toe links

The car drives absolutely superbly and I believe this is one of the best examples around. Next MOT due 27.06.2024 . Full service history and all copies of all bills.

Ecliptech Shift P2 with steering wheel mount fixture.

I made the steering wheel mount to locate between the wheel and the hub, the carbon plate is machined to fit the stock wheel mounting holes of 5mm on 70mm P.C.D.

The unit is new and unused, apart from being connected to test functions, I was intending to only use it as a shift light, hence you'll see the plug & socket I have it wired to only having 3 pins, however I've included a 6 pin plug & socket so that the additional functions of the unit can be utilised if so desired.

My reason for selling it is that I've now replaced my original Stack Unit (also for sale here) with a digital dash unit that has a shift light incorporated.

Numerous hours went into making the assembly, as you can imagine, and I've left it with the 6 wires of the unit coiled up inside the ally mount but not connected, so that you can use your own colour coding.

Once fitted, these allow use of lift point C for jacking or supporting the car without having to remove the undertray; and if used with a 2 post lift, prevent any chance of the car toppling over backwards when removing the front wheels having used lift point A instead.

They are the correct size to match the crossmember, anything larger resulting in them not being flush with the sides of the chassis, as it tapers forward from the mounting point.

To fit them you simply remove the undertray, undo the outer crossmember bolt nearest the sill, and fit in place using the supplied replacement longer bolt, with the 'larger' side of the puck pointing inwards towards the centre of the car, so that the support is between the bolts.

They will fit all models/variants of the S1, S2 & S3 Elise/Exige also the VX220 & Europa.

Now includes a pair of good quality 'Jack Point' stickers for marking the undertray,  courtesy of 'Divine Handcraft'

Revotec adjustable rad. fan controller, temp. range 70 to 120 deg. complete with silicon top hose, stainless hose clips and E.P. fitting instructions.

I bought this for my S2 K Series as I wanted the fan to cut in before the temp got to 105 deg. which I considered to be on the high side. It was installed in a new rad hose on the offside of the car, which I've included with it, although it will fit any 32mm hose in a different place if preferred.

I ran it on the car for a few months prior to installing a Davies Craig E.W.P. it's in perfect working condition, unearthed recently during workshop tidying, at which point I discovered the relay mounting 'tag' had cracked, so I've repaired it as you'll see in the pic. with an ally. one.

This will fit the S1 and S2 Elise and Exige, and the 340R Delivery applies to U/K only as it's become too much hassle sending stuff abroad now!

I bought this several months back from someone on the forum, to use on my car with an Emerald ECU, however plans changed when I got the opportunity of having an EMU Black ECU instead, where my car was used for the development of their new ECU.

Hence why It's now up for sale, I'm not sure about the wiring, as there are various wires that have been removed from the plug and insulated, which I assume is all for the installation with the lambda controller, this was something I was going to get Emerald to help with if necessary.

Having checked the wiring diagram on Emeralds' website, the red wire is ign. switched live feed, the grey goes to chassis along with the black wire from the LED

Also included is a wide band lambda sensor, as 'Road Race Rally' fitted a new one of their own.

Delivery would be to U/K only, as it's become too much hassle sending stuff abroad now!
