Newbie from across the pond

Hello, new here to this community, but not to Lotus, still a baby in that regard.

Coming here to get info on the S1 Exige as I am starting to transform my 97 S1 over. Cannot have the real thing, but will try to enjoy what I can have

Welcome.

Any questions feel free to ask and keep us updated with your transformation.

[Justin_M]

Thank you and I shall!! I am sure there is going to be a lot of smiles, sweat, and choice words while doing it

S1 Exige Conversion

Hi guys, I’ve been persuaded to start a build thread of my Elise to Exige conversion. Small bit of background about me and the project. I’m a 25 year old petrol head who grew up around cars and racing. Definitely not very mechanical or engineer-y, but I did study Car design at University and currently work as a superyacht designer, so have a base knowledge of things, but definitely specialise in making things look “pretty” rather than being an engineer. I’ve had my current Elise for coming up…

Thanks Paul! Dom sent me that link and that’s how I found this forum! A lot of really good information!

In the process of removing the shells to see what I need to replace because shipping is expensive!

Looking forward to following progress…

I should start a build thread…once the front clam is off and determine that is what I will do…I will, but, I am not as detailed as some people are

Anything is good.
