Not really worth the hassle then.....

For anyone else who is unsure of the benefits.

Biggest benefit is for anyone who has a plastic 48mm TB, as they are prone to the butterfly sticking.
I put a 52mm TB on my last Elise... and also on an old Rover 200 BRM... I think it made it rev a bit quicker, but not sure about any bhp benefits to talk about.
I have no signature.

Nice to see the Lotus community stretching out and helping others again :lol:

218vvc - if you come up with any other K series parts at favourable prices, come back over here, on the whole most Lotus owners are cheapskates that love a bargain (ok, I am ;))

You've have had an order from me too had I not ordered one from eBay just prior to seeing this thread! :?
