Just some general shots of areas I have modified/changed from the norm!

Rear chassis brace bar


Exhaust mounted on rear brace bar aswell as engine mount


Servo ditched, brakes much better!


Chassis much stronger


New chassis rails sit hidden behind bottom sill


Rear chassis modified to accept 3" system


oil cooler and remote filter in place


brake bias fitted


Elise s2 seats fitted with modified subframes


new exhaust and bespoke exhaust trim fitted. Rear wing also in place


I personally prefer my one piece design for the exhaust trim rather than the two piece design of the javan

Some lovvverly mods there Craig.

I quick one for you. Why do you need an oil cooler? And remote filter?

I used the remote filter as I could not use the standard oil filter due to it hitting the lower chassis rail. A "feature" of the turbo. Is the honda the same?

John, I always planned on the oil cooler as it has been proven it is needed for track use! I have only driven my car about 600 miles so far but have not had oil temps above 85c though would expect them to hit over 100 on track. Much much higher without on a summers day

I put a remote filter on for

1. ease of changing, only takes a couple of minutes
2. the standard one was only about 1cm away from the manifold so this would not help oil temps

Where did you source the spolier from, looks good.

I like the side impact beam, something Marlin could consider to improve safety and improve stength on the doored version.

I am now considering some kind of chasis support, someting for the winter I feel.

Steve, spoiler came from ebay! John d found them but they do need modifying somewhat in order for them to look acceptable/fit ok




To be honest I'm surprised they don't as it was a very easy fix and when the roll cage was off the car you could pick it up without any flex so very noticable...certainly offers more protection than just a fiberglass door
