Spotted that, ‘constant attention’. 
Surely a NA Honda needs the least?
Yeah I agree Ian. I think its the cleanest install (well some of them) in a Lotus as well.
I love my turbo’s, but all of the pipes and bloody hoses and stuff are a pain in the arse.
So here I am considering my next S1 should be Honda’d and this thread comes along… 
Must say of all the mods to my Orange Folly the best was the Nitrons and uprated springs, all the other bits…brakes . 200+DVA engine, verniers. emerald ,big bore exhaust, trick inlet etc etc were a good idea at the time but really did not make that much difference.
So it might have to be a standard spec with uprated suspension…unless something totally opposite rears its beautiful head.
Undecided as always.! 
I’d kinda agree on an S1 (I think std S2 suspension is probably better) unless you drive it hard, then good brakes make a really big difference.
G’day Clive!
Good to ‘have you back’!.. so what is the story over the last 3 years?
Standard car… yes the best and as you say, just uprate the suspension! (Shrek was a perfect example of that!)
Look forward to hearing more of your journey!
Cheers, Pete. 
Hehe, yes, that might your definition of ‘best’, and mine and some other’s here, but not many other people’s
Mine is standard as well, with some Lotus options such as sport seats, harness etc.
I like the uncivilized, if I may say so, character of the K, I love the drama, I just love it to drive! Even if a friend of mine giggles something about ‘kangaroo-fuel’ all the time
When it comes to ‘‘I want more POWER!’’, I go a completely different way. I let Guido drive my car, me on the passenger seat. After 10 minutes (max.!) I know the following things:
-I am a lousy driver
-I know what the care really is capable of, if properly driven by a professional drver
-I don’t need more power
-I do need more practice
This saves me a lot of money for a conversion, Guido is happy, I am happy, bank account is happy.
btw. Guido is a professional racing driver, my personal Stig
