I am sure some on this group will know me, Andrew Goater, regarding PG1 gearbox building. Over the last 10 or more years, I have supplied numerous B4BP close ratio gearboxes for Lotus cars on this group.

For racing the B4BP is too long gears. In a similar way that Lotus have their own UCR gear in the 340R cars, I have had custom made a 3 gear (6 sprocket) kit which uses the original C ratio gears 1 and 2 but a very close ratio 3, 4 and 5. The intention is you only use 1st gear off the line and 2 to 5 are very close. It fits a C6BP 3.9 final drive box and on 16" wheels gives a top speed of 125mph. If you use bigger wheels or your engine revs more than 7500rpm a 4.2 final drive can be used.

The gears are helical and are the same tooth design as the original gears. So, unlike using straight cut, these are quiet.

3rd, 1.47. 4th, 1.222, 5th, 1.034.

At 70mph (113kph) the rpm's are at 4500 in top gear. This does mean it's very fast to accelerate at this …

Removed from my 2005 Elise.

This is the same model wheel originally offered by the Lotus dealer Bell & Colvill as an optional extra for the S1 Elise/Exige.

320mm in diameter; the same as the original Nardi wheel fitted to the S1.

The leather is in superb unmarked condition; likewise the stitching is excellent. As can be seen in one of the photos, the ‘CORSE’ lettering has a small amount of colour loss.

This isn't a standard S1, nor is it trying to be. It's been carefully developed into a seriously capable machine, retaining all the delicacy, feedback and lightweight character of the original Elise, but with the performance, reliability and drivability of a well-executed Ford Duratec conversion.

One of the things that particularly appealed to me about this car is that it wasn't simply built around a bigger engine. The original owner was obsessive about keeping the car light. Unlike many engine conversions, this one was engineered with weight reduction as a key priority, resulting in a car that's actually lighter than many other Duratec conversions, while benefiting from the reliability and power of the Ford engine.

The weight-saving measures include removal of the complete front bonnet latch mechanism in favour of lightweight Zeus fasten…
