Agreed, a cracking thread.

Will the new owner be carrying on this great thread? Or starting their own?

I’m sad to see this come to an end, have loved following your progress with this beauty. Hopefully the new owner continues this thread or starts a new one to keep us updated on the car. Best of luck with the new beast

Been a great thread to follow (S2 owner too). Replacement Lotus looks stunning though.

Yeah it was largely poor idle control setup on the ECU. There was a long intake tract between the throttlebody and the engine, so any attempts to control idle speed using the DBW throttle was just too laggy and slow.

By limiting how much involvement the throttle could have, and leaning more heavily in ignition timing corrections I was able to pretty much completely smooth this out.
