Recent updates:

The car has been inspected by Lotus for the floor corrosion problem common to all S1s and has been treated accordingly. Cam belt change done as part of previous service.

As the "traditional" 160 rough idle was getting annoying on the daily drive, I fitted verniers and an Emerald ECU. The kangaroo at low speeds has now gone, and the torque smoothed further without losing the characteristic 160 "grumble".

The suspension was knocking badly (another "feature" of S1s), so I've fitted Nitrons. No noticeable degradation in ride (as reported by some), but gone are the "billiard ball" clonks. The car feels lovely and planted now with the suspension rebuilt and geo re-checked by Plans Motorsport. Running on Lotus Advan LTS tyres.
