The fun factor must be a straight 10!

I would love a Elise type R, that would be my ideal car.

Now I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous

[andygtt]

very very very nice indeed

[Greg_D]

looks lovely.

It may be a bit of an optical illusion, but won't that oil filter be a bit of a bugger to change.

It'll be a weapon when it's finished though, good effort

Awesome project

[minimatt1967]

Running about 300bhp right? That will be properly mental! Nice work

[Dift]

Stunning

[aka_kerrly]

WOW
Great work, the engine looks fantastic, more a showcar engine than a track car engine!

[EX51GE R]

[EX51GE R]
