Morning all,

I'm Dan and I own a Lotus Elise. That's not very Japanese I hear you say... well it's about to have modified/rebuilt k20a popped in the back of it with the aim of making around 300bhp in N/A form. So I thought I'd register here as a source of knowledge and to share the build if there's any interest in that kind of thing.

Past cars have included a '91 200SX back in 1996, a '90 3000GT in 1998 and a Celica in 1999. After that I'm afraid I departed from the Jap scene and went along the German, Italian and English sports car route.

I've had the lotus for 9 years in mildly modified form and now it's time to triple the power I feel. It's a great car but is lacking more than a few horses. During the last 9 years I've had some 500bhp + Italian exotics and never once considered moving the lotus on, but they have spoilt me so far the power is concerned!

I hope this build will be of interest and that as a mixed breed I'll be welcome in your community.

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks for the warm welcome!

This weekend I'm test driving an Elise with the exact set up I'm looking for so will report back with photos and maybe a vid or two.
