No problem with the help was a pleasure to help you
I do have to say that your car is very rapid. When it is fully mapped it might even be enough to tempt me towards Elise ownership just have to figure out a slightly more graceful way of getting in and out.
If we keep at this for a bit longer we should get a good map it just takes a lot of time to do it properly.

awesome work guys - can't tell you how impressed I am at the level of engineering that's going on up there in Abz. Can't wait to see the thing at full chat in the not too distant future.
Kudos to all those giving up their free time to help Craig out too - well done fellas

Stil in awe at this project.
Looking at the Sinclaires website, would it be fair to say if you went down the route of getting them to do it you would be 12.7k down ?

With a K-Pro ECU, the S/C Honda conversion would be £14K by an installer using Geary's kit.

I met up with Craig last night. And have worked out what the knocking noise is. Its the back of you head hitting the head rest.
Feck me what a blast,

I believe a careful-owner, shopping-trips-only VHPD engine is on the market courtesy of Scotty...you know it makes sense!
Actually, better off getting a Skoda transplant. At least those ones are meant to run a turbo

Not sure that a Skoda one has actually been done. The Audi 1.8T which is probably identical has been but I've never heard of anyone even suggest using one with a Skoda badge! Obviously all badge snobs

What kind of diesel engine was it the guy on SELOC was putting in an Elise (or was it VX) - It may have been a skoda!
