I'm pretty certain he doesn't do bodywork Ian.

I'll second John @ Witmun Engineering.
He's just fitted new wishbones, ball joints and driveshafts to mine.

Hi Dan, the Spyder chassis is a tubular spaceframe interpratation of Lotus's sheet steel chassis and is both lighter and stiffer and improves on the original in many areas and includes pick up points for their double wishbone rear end & rollbars. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/linnspinne...

Not mine but nearly identical except mine had 1600E gold , bumpers & wider Elan +2 wheels, I had 15 good years out of it, unfortunately it now resides in my garage & loft after headbutting a lampost 19yrs ago. :cry: Bought a new Spyder chassis and built that up with all new running gear, com...

You're right about the sound of a pair of open Dcoe's, I regularly took the airbox off my Elan and went out in search of walled lanes and railway tunnels. One Sunday morning after the regular balancing ritual (it never really needed doing) I went out minus the bonnet, Wow what a georgeous sound that...

Blimey Luke, I thought you were just a young whippersnapper, I think I've still got Mr Vizards "Theory and Practice of Cylinder Head Modificaction" tucked away in a tea chest in my loft somewhere, used it to to "improve" my MG 1100 powered mini head, and that was 30+ years ago, t...

its just the function is switched off in the ECU robin, you can happily get the M4.1 without the knock and obviously without the lambda, alos the best way to determine your cars age is by the ORGA number and not by the reg or the registration date as the cars can be sat for a while before they get ...

Vanny, does that mean mine should have a knock sensor ? if so where is it located ?

Does that mean I'll no longer be the only 16 valver in the village

....As for the rotor arm, what do they look like when worn. Presumably the metal bit gets pitted or something. I know mine shows no signs of any ware in that respect which I find unusual. I have never replaced it. Also (Luke), when you refer to the "ign mp" what exactly do you mean :oops:...

that could've been a very expensive bottle of LHM

Has the new owner become a club member?

Chris, this is what I welded to my OBA boss to convert it to Momo pcd. I had several made, can't find them at the mo' but if you want one I'll have a good look.

that would've been me if it was heading out of Crawley & following a police car, going nowhere paticular, just out for a drive. In the 2+ years I've owned the car I've yet to see another 16v, which is one of the many reasons I like the car, no matter how big the carpark (FCS apart) you could saf...

Luke, don't all OBA boss's have this strange bolt pattern ? A while back I bought a BX one to modify to standard Momo spacing, only £2 from ECP. At the time they appeared to be having a BX clearout, front wishbones were going for just £11 :shock: since gone back up to £29 though :cry: http://img.pho...
