Might be...

1. 2004> Lotus Exige S2, Larini ‘Sports’ System … £370.00 plus Vat = £434.75

Less 10% £390 so sounds better than £400+

If a few more join in I'll probably go for it.

i dont have my elise yet, but i could be tempted by this group buy if it goes ahead.

Is this posted on SELOC?

If we can get to the 5+ then I'm defo. on the exhaust and maybe a decat pipe.

[M7RT V]

I could be up for a club sport system for my S1.

[Buelligan 984]

I am interested (S2 - oval ended).

As a serious question, how much will fitting cost? I spanner all my own bikes but pay others to crawl under my cars for me.

Any ideas as to how much / where to take it etc would be welcoms,

I would imagine most idies could fit in a couple of hours at most so maybe £100 tops? I'd do mine myself and allow a morning, Thats on the basis I've not had the bottom of a Lotus before and I only know the basics.

Might consider a manifold and high flow cat for my S1

It's an absolute doddle. First time took maybe an hour and now I can swap the exhaust in 30 mins.

[Buelligan 984]

Cheers for the replies guys,

Most important point - when you get to 14 takers, I commit to being the 15th.

When I asked about where to take it, I've had some seriously bad experiences with indi mechanics, including the one who rebuilt the entire valve train 180 degrees out - ouch! Oh, and there was the one who dropped the woodruf key from the alternator pully down into the cases.

Exhaust end can swap should be a doddle, until you find siezed bolts, imperfect gasket faces etc. Any suggestions (or volunteers?) for proper mechanics rather than spanner monkeys (I'll pay top rates) welcome,

Would be up for buying a Sports round system for my 111S, looks out of stock
on the site though.
How soon would we be going for it? ASAP for me.

Russ.

Cross post this on SELOC as mentioned before, you'll easily get a few more people up for this.

[Nath A]

Have posted on seloc as twice suggested. Will let this run while numbers are rising. Timeframe is two weeks from details of buyers been released to Larini, guess it depends on how quick people pay too.

Are Larini taking payment direct? (Best way by far)

[Nath A]

Yes payment will be direct to Larini

If you can do any spanner work on a bike, you would be able to change the backbox. A fitting kit from eliseparts and a dremel or angle grinder for the old bolts. It took me an hour from start to finish.

If you can't be asked, any garage would be able to do it for you. They will likely charge around £100.

[Buelligan 984]

Cheers Shangani,

I know you are right - its just undoing (or cutting) the old bolts, probably battling a little with the mounting points, new bolts and gaskets and the jobs done.

Anyway, fitting etc would be my problem. Out of interest, does anyone know the appropriate torque settings for the flange bolts?

Hi I am interested in this too for my S1 Elise.
Couple of questions first though.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the Club Sports and the Sports system is?
Also what decibel rating are they?

Thanks

Not sure on the noise for S1s but I have an email from Larini saying they've never had any issues with track use. The S2 sports exhaust is measured at 95db, I'd assume the S1 would be similar.
