Nothing wrong with this I suppose, never thought about this. Anyone know if there is any used for sale?

Try contacting junks on Seloc, he regularly breaks elises.

Stupid question, but what's wrong with using the Elise S1 throttle setup?

doesn't have the same mounting points

[rik]

But this elise part throttle linkage seems to be adjustable?

yeah it is, but you have to adjust it all the way and end up with a very heavy pedal

I try to work on but also house stuff and garden stuff is in between.
I´ll make my own drive shafts I think, these things are beautiful.

An engine mount is read, just need some painting, it stays between the gearbox and std mount.
I ordered some ebay magnetic oil drain pluggs too.

So what do you guys think about exhaust solutions. I want by exhaust to be good for atleast 280bhp. if it is possible to keep the same exhaut for
my supercharged engine up to maybe 370bhp then it´s good too.
So the collector on my exhaust manifold is 3" and the first bend, catalytic converter and first pipe after this will also be 3" then I´m thinking of stepping down to 2.5".
Which to prefer 1, 2 or version 3
I don´t want it to be to loud. My last car was at more or less precise 95dB and this was a bit to much.

2.5" will be fine for 280bhp, but for mid 300's then you might need the full 3" system

Trying to make the best possible spline, is anyone having any thoughts here?


So I made a variation. With stops on splines, should not affect the turning diameter.
The diameter for the splines are slightly smaller, then outer spline diameter, it has had the same diameter as the narrowest diameter of the Opel drive shaft.
Then I did a variant without stopping heels where joint stops against the splines that grows in radius, but are worried about the risk of the joint cutting into the corner and gives an indication of the splines.

If I remember right crandal said that mine was about as good as you could hope without machining at -1.5 and -1.6 on the front with all shims out, and -2.5 on rear. I later changed it to -1.2 and -2.2 as I felt braking was compromised and tyre wear a little high considering I was doing 12-13k a year.

When you say all shims out is this including removing this ABS wire holding shim?
Thinking if I should buy new ABS shims. Anyone knows if I can buy these at Elise shop?

Thanx

Thank Fezzasus. Could you also help me to find the rears, really finding these things on Elis-shop homepage is advanced sh*t.

I´m also looking for Gaiter CV driveshaft boots, anyone know where to buy this with OEM fit and good quality?

Also going to buy Elis shop Aluminium High Pressure extra capacity Radiator and elise-shop Toe Link Kit

Thank you, Per

[fezzasus]

I use this: http://www.deroure.c...CFabLtAodNHIAiw

Find the part of the car you want, then search Elise-shop with the part number.

Tuner view mfd.

 

Part for my engine, not many parts are missing now til I can finally start to build my engine.

Nice progress.

I think it could be good to change the fuel filter now increasing the HP a bit. Is there any high flow fuel filters out there?

Lite mer saker trillat in. Mina drivaxlar (Opel) som håller på och blir modifierade för att passa
Honda inre drivknutar samt några lger hållare för blivande adapter tillväxellänkage.
 

Some more parts are/have been made. My driveshafts are about to be modified to fit Honda inner joint.

And 3 ball bearing holders have been machined, I´m going to use these for gear linkage and throttle wire

I think.

Been working all weekend. A friend came all the way from Kristiansand in Norway to help.

  It takes time and we have not done much more than getting  the block together . Bbearing clearance measured and piston rings machined to right clearence.

  I struggle on. and now it feels like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Engine mounts are ready.  The most important things are on the way, now it's just the rest left
  On Thursday, another friend is comming, Jean-Pierre, so I can get some more time to work with the car.

  This is how it  looks now.

Is that the OEM cylinder liners? Is it a single cast item (ie all 4 liners as a single piece of metal) ?
