500bhp lotus S1 Exige build...

[EX51GE R]

We seem to be going backwards!!

[EX51GE R]

Rear section fits

[EX51GE R]

Cage fitted...

[EX51GE R]

Removed the blower and heater matrix...



Which leaves a nice space for a race battery in place of the standard one and extinguisher plus the front race jack...

[EX51GE R]

Also made headway with the bulkhead..

[EX51GE R]

And a bit of bling...

[EX51GE R]

So we had a delivery today...



And Darren's already designed the rear brackets...

[EX51GE R]

Darren's not been hanging around again ;

[EX51GE R]

[EX51GE R]

Not too bad on the weight gain either...

[EX51GE R]

Got the airjacks fitted, lifeline kit plumbed in, lightweight battery fitted and dash panels trimmed around the new roll cage.

[EX51GE R]

[EX51GE R]

Couple more jobs done. New carbon cill covers cut and fitted, got the front air line all done and P-clipped, plus made the rear tow eye and ai jack valve mount.

[EX51GE R]

New brackets fabricated for the oil coolers, pro alloy fuel filler altered to clear the new bulkhead, dash put back together and bracket finished holding the air jack point and towing hook.
