Lotus Elan M100 S2 #481

Front clam repair and re-spray at Option1 Sportcars, Bromsgrove

Click here for full review and details.

I now have a rear hub and disc set-up to replace the two part system originally used on the M100. A separate hub has been machined from aircraft quality aluminium without the disk which allows the fitting of a standard one piece disc of similar dimensions and position as the factory disk such that standard calipers can be used with. This also means that the whole hub set-up does not need to be changed when replacing the discs in the future.

While searching YouTube for some good videos, I found my car
Must have been taken at Supercar Sunday ... and it even looks shiney

Thought it would be a nice idea to update my topic with some new shiney clean parts.

Reconditioned rear brake caliper


2.25" PiperRS exhaust system with Precat Eliminator (forgot to take a piccy)

Great pictures Trigger, it looks totally mint

Thought Id do a little update after just getting the Elan back from having a fair number of new/upgraded parts fitted.

List of parts fitted:
Cambelt, alternator belt, PAS belt, tensioners, idler, water-pump, thermostat etc.
Dave's Shortshift Kit (big smile)
Rear brake hubs, discs, pads, bearings and one refurbished caliper from SJs
Piper 2.25" Exhaust with Sportscat
Piper PCE
Ported turbo wastegate to 20mm

The details:
The rear brake setup looks fabulous thanks Bob, they no longer stick or squeak and are a great improvement over the originals. Dave's short-shift kit surprised me even though I expected nothing less! It is simply a much nicer experience now, very precise and exactly what the car needed. The Piper exhaust sounds brilliant on tick over and very meaty when giving it more than 3,000rpm, again a great improvement. Along with the Piper exhaust I also opted for the well engineered PCE and had the wastegate ported whilst it was all off. I have only had a few small chances to test any boost out but once I am happy that everything has bedded in nicely I will let everyone know the results. Photos and maybe even a few videos to follow soon.
