Hi Guys

Has anyone had a Janspeed 4-2-1 manifold fitted to their S1? If so what are the benefits to be gained from one other than a little increase in noise!

Cheers

Paul

alright big lad?

ive got one fitted. Mid-range torque is where the benefits are. It is noticable, as it keeps pulling right up to 6k rpm but there are cheaper ways to get even more power >piper cams.

If your not sure...then wait a few weeks, when ill be home. I noticed your in shields. I live in Boldon Colliery so im only 30seconds down the road. You can have a look at my set up and decide yourself.

Sound advice!

I'm thinking of getting one fitted when i've got the suspension sorted.

Another Elise owner in South Tyneside - there seems to be hundreds of us now.

so that's a silver S1 I spotted in temple park, my mates azure S1, my black S1..... oh and an Orange S1 (160 I think) and a blue S2 G9RY C.

Drop me an email when your back up.

Regards

Paul

Will do, big-lad.

If the "gary" plate is a blue S2, then im sure i know the bloke.

He lives in my estate..."Harden Park" (opposite the cinema/frankie and bennys). He used to have an esprit!

I also know of a couple of esprits and elans. We'll have to all get together for a beer/drive

Its turning into lotus land up there!

Yeah that "Gary" is an S2 in blue. I was on the trader website last week and i'm sure it was up for sale.......maybe check it out.

So what do you drive - S1 or S2? and if so what mods have you added?

1) Sport160 wheels and advans
2) Lotus sport suspension
3) Gear linkage/Short shifter kit
4) ITG/PTP induction kit
5) Sport160 Throttle bodies
6) Janspeed 4-2-1 manifold
7) Full Chris Neil exhaust system (without Cat )
8) Bits and bobs inside like a bass tube etc
9) NOS*


and thats about it
