Thanks I’ve got a bit of enthusiasm back for the build now that shenanigans with the cage are sorted!
Clockwise motion bits were located today. They have been missing since Tuesday after someone called “W” signed for them!
Lovely lightweight flywheel
Those sump baffles with the swinging plate to go over the oil pick up pipe are a work of art. Almost too good to go into the sump really!
In a word, definitely yes! Sold mine to Keith with the brackets, he’s collecting them from tomorrow 
Really enjoyable thread Si. 
Great thread… really enjoying your progress 
Sorry if I missed it, but where are the engine mounts from? Turbo Harry, same as the gear linkage?
As mounts & drive shafts are normally match to the same supplier, who’s drive shafts are you using?
Whats you plan regards exhaust manifold?
As you other car had a EA Honda kit, is their a reason why you’re not sticking with that kit for your new build?
Ta
Thanks. Correct on the mounts and linkage.
Shafts will likely be custom along with the hubs as I’m probably going to use both honda inner and outer CVs, but I’m not 100% certain yet. It’s pretty easy to spec a custom shaft just install everything measure then go to a local supplier? I’ve been told, but can’t confirm yet that, these mounts put the engine in the same position as the EA kit so you could just ring them and order a set. I will likely try the set in my other car to confirm.
My EA conversion is great, but try pricing up the mounts individually…plus where is the fun in just replicating what I’ve already got, I could just put a set of exige clams on the current car and save myself many £k! I’m trying to build this one a bit lighter, stiffer, safer and more powerful than my current elise.
The manifold will be a spare EA 4 into 1 I have on stock along with their link pipe. So you could probably say what I’m doing is actually an evolution of there kit and what is in my elise.
Many thanks for the clarifications…
Yes, I understand, it wouldn’t be fun just to copy & paste your s1 Elise.
Those (CNC?) mounts & gear linkage certainly looks the nuts
Will keep glued to the action 
Its been a while since I’ve posted any updates, snowboarding and work have meant only a few hours here and there on the build.
The gear shift has been installed along with new eliseparts cables along with the 111r throttle cable and also the cable for the bias adjuster. Not sure where I’m going to mount the bias adjuster yet. I like the idea of putting it in the top of the footwell divider (if I fit that) as its a nice long cable or possibly dash mounted.
looking good, coming along.
how much power you running? considered a gearbox cooler while you’re there?
I put a temp switch in my casing to drive a pump
I do like that photo! It also reminds me I need to cut the weight off the gearbox mech to fit the linkage. Don’t scratch it when it goes back in!
The engine is going to stay fairly stock and NA initially, so will probably be 200 at the hubs (my other car is just under that). Only changes will be intake and exhaust for now. I will do a higher power NA motor in time, so I’m keeping an eye open for another civic to break. I really want to learn this new car once it’s built then up the power at a later date.
How’s yours coming back together?
sadly it seems proper etch primer wasn’t used, so it looks a mess already.
I’m not interested in holding the rebuild up though, sort it another time
Love that, I’ve got barn and bling envy…loving the gold 
The build is coming on a treat Si_F, I think these build threads are ace.
Thanks chaps, its looking more like a car now.
My engine crane is a bit different from the norm’ and is also useful for unloading too!
Is the elise/exige the only car that still looks the dogs even when the front & rear bodywork is off?
Excellent!
I’ve been mocking a few things up to try and work out the plumbing.
Standard S1 airbox bracket has had the end hacked off, re-drilled and then fitted upside down. This gives a better angle for the standard fuel filter and fuel regulator and was cheap and easy to do as I had a couple of them (plus I don’t have to mess with the cage. I’ve mocked the remote filter head beneath this at the moment, just need to check clearance from the chassis using a shorty hamp filter (its not a done deal yet but looking interesting). That’s a standard sincs manifold in position, I think I’m going to go over the top though as I don’t need a boot, so a couple more ponies and it will allows me more flexibility with running oil lines. RSP manifold looks/is too tight (Tim you were right), so phase two of the build will be a different bulkhead plus a daft NA engine. I’ve ported the standard inlet out to 70mm and have a clockwise throttle body ready to go on (not shown in that photo). Longerons got a quick coat of paint and have come out looking quite nice (still need bonding down and riveting
Northern pedalbox has also been corrupted with a bit of southern action (thanks John for the MC) and the new clutch line run in. Front part of the loom has been taped up and tidied up a little, wiper linkage and motor has also had a little clean up and coating of black rattle can to clean it up a bit. Just need to get round to fitting that now.
Buggering about with the 3rd and 4th engine mounts at the moment…
was the red + green MC combo too big then? Suppose you only see half the pedal throw when the MCs are stacked in tandem.
Not tried them yet! Originally I only had two MC, so the third one was for the clutch.
