its got eliseparts twin headlights painted black so i have a pair of clear covers that i put on sometimes aswell. cant make my mind up which i prefer but im not using it on the road at the minute so will stick with the red ones for now. red ones are the fastest
they were bought from JDR ( johndanbyracing.com ) and were �265 + VAT for the skirts only. i like the look of them but dont think they do anything for aero, they would need to cover the whole underside of the car to create any downforce i think.
Sorry to post this here, but can a member with knowledge of the Edwards conversion (above) and also the Maidstone Sports Cars conversion (charge cooled Honda too) pls contact me.
Depends on what you want to know? If you want an impartial opinion I suggest you talk to John at JSRacing…hope you don’t mind me volunteering you matey!
I have not heard of the Edwards conversion, whereas I am very familiar with the MSC one. So I just wanted a heads up on the quality, reputation & reliability etc of the Edwards one.
For reference, my previous Lotus was a TT supercharged K series S2. I’ve driven various Honda engined Lotus’ but not owned one.
The trick for the CC conversion is mapping, so if Hofmanns did that it would be mapped at TDI and will be fine.
My Edwards Honda conversion also had the the CC added at Hofmanns and was mapped by Scuffers and it doesnt get much better than that.
One point is that ALL the converters have had improvements and updates over the years and a SCCC version is very hard on engine mounts and drivetrain so regardless of who did the conversion its worth checking those two points.
all 4 engine mounts have just been replaced on mine as i had a cv joint go at anglesey. steve edwards kindly checked it out at anglesey and suggested it may have been because a couple of mounts needed replacing so i did all 4. the mapping was also done by scuffers on mine aswell.
