BACON's honda elise/exige

[BACON]

I've got a build going on seloc but thought I'd get one going here just to show what's been done.

The elise as I brought it march 2012





Bit of a blat at blyton



Always knew that I wanted exige bodywork so started collecting bits. I also knew that I wanted to get as much genuine lotus parts as I could.

Brand new rear clam



Lense covers



Oversills



Wheel arch liners



Engine cover and hinge





Roof, splitter and another door (drivers side mirror had been clipped and weakened the fibreglass on the door on the car)



Other bits and bobs



And all painted and on the car





Also popped a tillet b6 in

very cool

[BACON]

Went and picked these up last night. Quantum single way adjustable coilovers. Got to be better than the gaz items on the car

[SeanB]

Looking good!!

[jonnyfox]

Very good, looks the business.

[BACON]

Thanks:) As I'd said in the introduction bit I have a carbon wing to put on, just getting some alloy uprights made. Then I'd like to give all suspension a good going over, possibly new wishbones definitely new bushes, anti roll bar. I'll see what the quantum a are like and decide if I want them rebuilt with different springs or not.


So there's plenty I need to crack on with. I also need an oil cooler and filter relocation kit. Sheesh the list never ends!!

It actually looks good without the rear spoiler on at all. (runs for cover)

Yes, it's only taken me 2yrs to get mine done, well almost...

[BACON]

Quantums fitted. New clutch trunion and bushes fitted and rear wing fitted.





Not entirely convinced, it looks a bit extreme. Even more so in the flesh.

That rear wing looks great

I like a good wing on a S1
