I wouldnt say flawed, I would say built on a budget lol - As Rob said built properly it's a great engine.
But please if possible guys id like this to refrain from being another good/bad K series thread!
Small update:
Found out how shocking the standard H4 bulbs are, so im not 100% on HID's with these, due to the non-projector headlights - So for now iv purchased some Phillips X power H4's.
Iv heard they are pretty good, so taking the Lotus into work tomorrow to do a few bits, fitting these...
Yup, went last week mate
Lol! Never say the roof is perfect! Rookie mistake ;)
I made my first rookie mistake last night, I was watching the litres going in rather than the car, and pissed about 20p's worth of unleaded down the side of the car lol
I found they seemed to do that pretty quickly mate, took me ages to get the originals out lol.
I matched that manifold, I feel all proud of myself now :o
Its a Bell and Colville mate, throaty but not very loud in the car, which is quite a shock coming from my Yozzsport'd Clio lol
I tend to drive with the Sun level with the top of the screen to block it out lol
Lol I need a good while to get used to it, been using a few roundabouts in anger and its weird to feel the back end twitching so precicely(sp) with such small throttle imputs :)
Yes mate, I have a good 2 inches head room with the hood on too.
Exactly what I was after, cheers mate :)

Small update:
Had glorious sunshine today, so did a round trip of Malmesbury to Bristol, then the back roads from Bath to Malmesbury then on to Cirencester, then back roads home - about 100 miles or so and the car is fantastic!
The section from Bath to Malmesbury is brilliant, a lot of slow...
You best be! ;)
cheers fella
Again, big thanks to all your advise fella, I love it!
Your joking right - my mate has done a 14.1 at Pod in his S1 Elise - Iv gotta beat that!
All depends on where you live, if its kept outside matey etc, insurance isnt an issue for me as I have trade insurance, but I believe it can be fairly reasonable through specialists :)
Yes mate standard 1.8, ooh Pm'd you b**ch x
Thanks Ian, I wasn't 100% sure on the silver/dark red but it...
Linus27 - Already on SELOC fella, thanks for the info, yours looks lovely! Whats the spec?
Dan - Not sure yet, its well specced enough for me for a while, just needs a few things tidying up really.
it will be a toy, so fast road/track use :)
Cady will be in it tomorrow - pic will come...
Now which mod will have the bollox to do a name change lol
Glad to hear thats been cleared up mate, in all seriousness thats a horrible thing to be accociated with
Iv always wanted an S1, and I think they look fantastic - I know the VX is basically the same car but newer, but my personal opinion I simply prefere the S1 :)
Thanks matey :D
