Lotus 3d printed illuminated box sign 240mm diameter (new)

After 13 years of cherished ownership, I'm reluctantly parting with our black Lotus Elise S2 111S. For 10 years this was my daily driver, but as with most people, during the pandemic I began working from home and our Lotus doesn't get used as much as it used to. So it's time for it to move on to a new home where it will get the use a car like this deserves.

For those in the know about Elises, this particular year and model is regarded by many as one of those holy grail Elises. The reason for this is that this is a 2004 car, which means it's one of the last to have the Rover VVC K Series engine with its 156bhp and is very light (0-60 in 5.4 seconds). It's easier to drive than the 111R, but still gives the same exhilarating driving experience. Combining this power-to-weight ratio with the fact that it doesn't have power steering or servo-assisted brakes, means it's essentially a road legal go-kart - a true driver's car.

It also has the Touring Pack (central locki…

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…

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 …

I bought this ring for myself, from a firm in the 'States.

It's made from Titanium and works a treat, when you twist one side round the other side rotates in the opposite direction, unfortunately it's slightly too small to fit over my knuckle, even though i was very precise with measuring my finger, as it's wider than a more conventional type of ring. I've now ordered the next size up, so I'd say take that into account when checking size.

As it's American the dimensions are imperial, it's 3/4" ( 19.05mm) I.D. X 3/8" ( 9.5mm) Wide X 1" 25.4mm) O.D.

Pair of Elise front uprights, from my 2001 S2, they have been bead blasted and triple powder coated, for the rebuild of my car.

They'd had new bearings fitted, but the car wasn't driven out of the workshop before they were dismantled and replaced with a pair of Gaz's CNC machined ally ones.

There are a few small places where the paint has come off during assembly and subsequent dismantling, which you can see if you zoom in, nothing drastic though!

Delivery will be at cost with Paisley Freight, as they're the cheapest for heavy items.

Twin OBD2 Connector Lead and Torque ELM 327 code reader.

This plugs into the OBD2 port and allows switched connection to code reader and/or other device, i had intended using this along with a heads up on screen display. The code reader connects to your phone and works well. The lead has not been used, apart from checking plug fit, and is in perfect condition.

I've now got a digi dash and seperate code reader.
