For those not on seloc or exiges.com i thought i'd post our build thread here too. Seeing as i'm starting this thread a few months after we started it may miss a few stages....

My S1 exige was Honda'd at Phoenix motorsport in early 2008, very happy with the N/A until i met Darren Cudd while i was doing some work for Omex performance electronics, he suggested a Rotrex...



after a few TD's with an intercooler we decided a charge cooler was the way forward...



Again, very happy with the performance, Darren then up sticks and moves to silverstone to work for TTS, we then decide to up the boost and change the cams, however after discussion we decide screw it! sleeve the block, 2.2L stroker kit, uprated rods pistons etc....



Oh yes and bigger blower, a MUCH bigger blower...



Now to take the extra power i have decided to swap all the wishbones to S2 K series items and run the uprights with the S2 bearing packs...

Powder coated and new balljoints C/W JSR rosejoints...



2 pots on the rear too...



A job we have been discussing for a while is to make some Ally uprights, so darren has been busy in 3D solidworks...





Bracket for the new S/C...





I'm sure once i point Darren to this thread he can update as he goes too....

Marc.

how nice if you can work like that, I guess you make it that way that you can replicate all the items if you need more or do other conversions?
easy for darren yes. full access to a cnc machine means if we need spares they are only a piece of billet away smile
