Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
cheers Richie,
I've mostly been sorting the shut lines of rear clam and engine cover, so pics won't look much different to those I've posted. Hopefully getting engine and gearbox back from builders soon, so will post some then and the engine install.

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
cheers Victor, appreciate you sharing your experience, I will check it out. It just seems a 'no-brainer' to fit one due to the power the engine will put out. Everyone I've spoken to say it needs one.
