As per the title, these master cylinders came with a brand new BOE brake bias cage and kit . However, I wanted 0.625” master cylinders for my application, hence this pair are surplus to requirements . They have 29mm stroke and a nice short travel to fluid cuttof , rather like the AP equivalent and have the ‘ standard’ vertical two bolt fixing flange. Fluid feed is 10mm push on and the pipe fittings are -4 Jic (7/16th UNF)

Complete set of SJ Racing Leggero Model RS89 Racing forged wheels. 2 X 17" X 8.5" JJ Black 95.25mm PCD +5  offset & 2 x 16" x 7" JJ 95.25mm PCD + 7 offset. Bought new in 2007 still in boxes @ cost of £2000 then.  Collect only.

2 Owners from new

I’ve owned my Elise since June 2013, buying it from her first owner after a long search to find one in perfect mechanical condition and with a good service history.  Unfortunately I just haven’t used it as much as I’d hoped, covering only 2,500 miles in 12 years, and only 300 miles in the last 5 years.  I keep hoping I’ll have the time, but have to recognise I won’t, and it sits forlorn in the garage.  I was lucky to get a Civic Type R allocation at the start of 2023, and that has been the fun car of choice (3 kids mean that back seats are important…), so the Elise is just never driven.

Completely original apart from the Bell & Colvill Sports Exhaust and the EPTuning Carbon Air intake.  She had all the extra boxes ticked when new - metallic paint, leather seats, stereo system, driving lamps, luggage nets, carpets.

The perfect project Elise in a very honest condition - I haven’t prepped the car for sale beyond a simple wash and vacuu…

Track day car has gone and garage clearout now, Set of four wheels from my S2 Toyota Elise. Some marks on rims and some lacquer not perfect as used on track. Need to go!

Collection Only from Cheltenham.

Aerie heat insulated de-cat manifolds and y-pipe for sale, brand new in box. These cost £1400 + tax/duties so grab a bargain!

I already have a set fit to my car and the quality and fit are great. No engine lights/fault codes active from the de-cat when using lambda spacers on the secondary lambda sensors.

These are sized for a 380 model and upwards (76mm tube diameter after y-pipe). However, they would fit a 350 model by either using a 380 model or upwards silencer, or have your link pipe stepped up from 63.5mm to 76mm diameter (You can buy a reducer on ebay for cheap).

Collection and postage available

Separate set of TD wheels with no tyres for sale separately.

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 …
