Elise S1 as a racecar . what parts ?

[cej]

Hi, I am trying to calculate just how much a race-prepped S1 will cost. This is the setup:

Elise S1
honda k20 engine
jenvey ITBs
race header,exhaust
hondata kpro EMS
roll cage
race seats
probably 16" and 17" wheels. any suggestions ? Maybe stick with the 15/16" stock sizes. With wider tyres.
race suspension, fully adjustable height,bound/rebound etc.
slick tyres
bigger brakes ?

planning to put down 280bhp or so.

With the current rules I have two options:

Class 1: minimum weight of 960 kg. I guess the car would weigh around 850 ? Anyone with a honda k'ed elise who knows how much his/her car weighs ??

class 2: minimum weight of 822 kg. At the same time I can go to a 2.4L setup instead with no added weight penalty

I can get prices on most of these things, but I don't know what to use for suspension .
Also the odd bolt pattern narrows the selection of wheels

If anyone got anything to add please do so. I might've forgot something.

Suggest cross posting on SELOC as there are bunch of folks who prep and race Elises in northern europe (caic, arno ...) on there.

Scuffham is your man on this.

He's had a lot of success with his yellow K20A'd race car.

Scuffers is the fountain of Honda knowledge. Bear in mind that all things being well he's aiming to be racing at Donnington in the Brit GT this weekend.

What race series are you looking at entering?
