I will be buying a lotus elise within a few years and am def gonna get mine 300+ horsepower. Ive only found a few shops in the US that mod them, you guys look like pro. I def think you should put together some packages sort of like secant does, modding the existing engine., the secant stage 1 is 20,000 dollars though and is way overpriced for not improving performance much.

Just give us a call or email when you ready :)

truely a great bit of engineering, have you ever thought of manufacturing a kit to sell to customers???

[RaceCarsOnly]

It's probably a good idea. but again, any project is good as good the install. To have a kit is just a half of the story... we have to think about it ;) Anyone interested? :D

To make a kit you need to really research the car and its platform... Anybody that would buy a car worth +41 MSRP and fool around with it... without knowing what there doing is crazy... plus your insurance company will drop you too 8) good luck... Sorry guys, looks like your doing some fun stuff.... however, kits take a lot time and money to produce...

[Humma78]

Hi, Lotus owner.... The big issues to me is the transmission.... I can buy blowers that put +200 HP the engine mods are straight forward however.... to get above +300 without major work to the tranny is dangerous.... unless you like pulling the clam and spending thousands on re builds? Otherwise anything above +260-300 is just show... or dangerous... What r your thoughts... am I correct?

[ebdbdave]

what is the redline at right now?



[cfb36]

hope u didn't use the shitty c60 tranny, that thing looks like it would shear the gears the first wot pull u make lol

[agnostos1000]

I LOVE THIS CAR, I freaking love it!

Can you tell me, is there a way you fit a bigger engine in there, like the one the evora has?

[eclipsegsx765]

Don't the Elise have the Toyota Celica engine in it for America spec? I like In America wondering if it would be easy to turbo one.

Working in Racing suits on a Tiled Floor, you guys are Gay!

[jobedd]

why all the smoke?

[maxgt500]

@RaceCarsOnly hell yes!

[hitchhikkr]

So why exactly do you need to wear fire-proof racing suits to build an engine?
