Thinking about a 135R S2

[mikereynolds]

Was thinking about getting a 135R elise S2, just had a few questions. What sort of power gains would you expect from fitting a decent pipe and air filter and what sort of combinations are good??
Also are there any major probs with them?
Regards
Mike

don't buy one they're complete pants.






















(hopefully, if i can trash the residuals, i can pick one up for pennies!)

Great car.
Had one before and would buy one again.
Early ones suffered from HFG but what K series Elise didn't.
Don't pay more than £15K

If I had seen one when i was buying id have got it. Nice car and limited run will help when you sell it on as they are quite popular. Plus they have nice wheels and AO48s i hear that LSS is a bit bumpy .. get out there and try one If you can. no such thing as a bad elise model imho, just a lot of choises for you to make

I have piper 4 into 2 into 1, B&C backbox and a K & N and it was running 141bhp. Guy said K&N was costing bhp on the dyno as they had no cold air feed...... hurricane/ITG then c145bhp

One of the sweetest elise's - do it !

2bular is the zorst of the moment...

if you research it is suggested that most 135Rs actually have almost 140 bhp as standard, a hurricaine and a larini clubsport will give you at least an extra 50 bhp in sound

ps: as for the 15k comment, try getting a sorted 2004 for 15k you'll be very very lucky to get one in top nick

[Yee haa!]

i've added a pipercross + the larini clubsport and it really does sound the nuts if a little loud. having said that i'm ditching the k for a honda. that is all.
