2006 wcm ultralite s2k and custom trailer for sale
Foxfire S2K replied to Foxfire S2K's topic in Cars For Sale
The trailer is for sale - it is custom built for my Lotus 7. I doubt that the car plus the trailer will weigh a total of 3,000 pounds though I have never weighed it. Statistics: Opening inside the rear is 78 1/8" wide, with door cables outside of the box so no hindrance there. The single axle has electric brakes and the connection is the "ring of 6 with a center ground" that can be worked with an adapter for the 4-in-line plugs. There is an interior light at the rear. Box measures 84" wide, 12 feet long, and 55 " tall outside. There is a strong shelf inside in front. There are 3 aluminum matching wheels, one is mounted on tongue as a spare. The floor of the trailer is angled down in a beaver-tail pattern so that it is easier to drive in a very low ground clearance car. The rear of the roof unlatches and lifts up as there is a hinge all across the front edge. It cost me $5,000.00 and I will sell it for $1,500.00, quite a deal! -

No the car didn't sell, I was going to give the suit to whoever buys the car. Not sure how much it would cost, nor how much to ship. It is a 2-piece suit. How interested are you? -

They are in the NW corner of Indianapolis, Indiana. their website is https://gatormotorsport.com/ (I just corrected this URL, didn't know I selected the Florida program the first time.) They are also dealers for some other pretty nifty cars, too! -

I used to live in Shirley, Mass, near Ayer where there was a Lotus 7 dealer back then, though it didn't have enough foot room. It would really be fun to drive a 7 and do what they called 'Shunpiking' on weekends! -

Need to source WCM Ultralite S2K front lower A arm
Foxfire S2K replied to bobsaito's topic in Parts For Sale / Wanted
Bob, when I switched my WCM S2K to wide, sticky slicks for autocross, I stopped hard at the finish and broke one, bent the other. I had a race shop in town make me much stronger ones with larger diameter tubing, and they have worked wonderfully. That particular shop has closed so I can't give you a direct referral. Don't know where you live, the outstanding parts shop on Indy's Gasoline Alley (Earl's Indy) knows all the race shops and can give you a referral. There are many near the Indy 500 track. http://www.earlsindy.com is their url. You could then mail your 2 wishbones to that shop. Hope this works! -

I also have a black and white firesuit, 3 layer, that could go with the car, I am 6'2".. It is a G-Force black with white arm stripes and white chest band, a British Club Team Lotus patch, a Lotus patch, and a SCCA patch. SFI certified 3-2A/5. I wanted it to look a little retro! I would sell it separately, had thought to add it when car and trailer are purchased. -

2006 WCM Ultralite S2K and custom trailer for sale $25,500. Trailer cost if not chosen with car is $1,500.00, with similar reduction to car-and-trailer cost. PRICE REDUCTION TO $25,500.00! ULTRALITE, TRAILER, AND FIRESUIT SOLD 11-29-2019! Parts kit delivered in 2005, assembled with the help of various race shops near the Indy 500 track. Painted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Lotus, dark metallic red with silver stripe and nose band that are black outlined. My S2K won the Indy SCCA Solo year for class D Modified My co-driver won Indy SCCA Ladies Solo year for class D Modified We were running in second place against the travelling British V8s (!) autocross when it was rained out. The other 9 years my car came in second place in D Mod. During Track days on road courses, this car is immensely satisfying and challenging, too! • Licensed for street use in Indiana where it is titled, ‘WCM/S2K’ and ‘Lotus 7’ because only about 175 S2K’s were ever made. The manufacturer studied and loved the concept of Lotus, though he modified the engine mounting by sliding the engine 2 ½” to the passenger side. Thus, a larger foot box for large feet, and a little better corner weighting. With the S2000 exhaust ports on the right, the muffler is not on the driver’s side! Also, the dash wires are all in front of the dash, no shoulder-stands in foot well to affix wiring. My primary use was SCCA Solo, class DMod. Includes Race wheels 15” Diamond Pro/Cha wheels made with 45 degree lugnut holes and aluminum lugnuts with matching 45 degree tapers are for mounting slicks. I used 9 ½” slicks all 4, R15B, 23.0x9.5R15, so I could rotate them one position after each event. • 17” forged aluminum wheels for street use, fronts 17”x7.5”, 225/45x17” tires. Rears 17” x 8”, 245/45x17” tires. Lots of tire for a light car. • Chassis is powder coated, with forward-tilt Fiberglass hood. Braided steel cables to hold hood upright. • Ultra-shield drag seats, 19” driver and 17” passenger. • Wood dash has 7 coats of spar varnish, Auto Meter Ultralite meters are black face with red night lighting. • Engine and 6 speed trans are from the first generation of S2000 that redlines at 9,200 and 240 hp from two liters. • Subaru WRX diff at 4.44 and rear shafts and rotors Subaru WRX. • The car has less than 15,000 miles on it. • Windscreens are heavier scratchproof Plexiglas, slightly oversized to reduce side winds. • Driveshaft has double strap steel safety shields, the one underneath to protect the wiring, fuel line and brake line. • Brake proportioning valve In front of custom shift lever with titanium shift-pattern knob. • Radiator is Griffin double-pass so both hoses are on the left. Fill cap body is tapped for water temp sensor. Was 3 piece with ‘0’ rings, now welded one-piece. • Six-point camlock 3” Impact brand seat belts, with pull-up adjustments. • Polished stainless steel (sourced from marine supply) hood side vents. • Master race engineer took off the shocks and ran complete range-of-motion alignment on all 4 wheels. He also rebuilt the lower front wishbones so they could withstand the massive braking effect of the Wilwood 4-piston brakes, with pierced 12” rotors in front. • Then he rebuilt the gas tank so it has a braided steel gas line, a center-collecting baffled gas tank, outsides connected via tube on bottom. Has overflow and ring of captive-nut bolts to change the fuel pump, and a drain plug. I put in a fuel pump toggle switch. (Result has been no fuel pump starvation in hard corners.) • In-line under hood fuel pressure gauge to help diagnose challenges.. • Large cleanable fuel filter. • Put in a filtered small aluminum catch can for rare drips of oil to run out of valve cover. Honda originally had the line run back to air intake. • I have only used alcohol-free 91 octane fuel in her. • Two folding marine-type cup holders, mounted with industrial Velcro patches. Good for standing around at car shows, or for driving to events. • Operating horn button on steering wheel! (I could never find the dash button in time of need.) • Italian 2-note light-weight air horn. • Custom WCM exhaust is quite a bit below track decibel limits, and a catalytic converter is installed as well. Exhaust is chrome powder coated. • All but one radiator hose is silicone construction. • Brake lines braided steel • Row of circuit breakers to the driver’s right = no fuses. • Chrome Halon fire extinguisher between the aluminum seats. • Brake lights, side marker and roll bar brake light are all LEDs. • Headlights are from off-road truck rack, bulbs exchanged for normal headlamp prisms. Thus they are smaller than usual headlamps. • British license plate with original Prisoner numbers is biggest rear reflector I could find. • Durabak-18 shiny hard black undercoat for fronts of rear fenders and cockpit edges. TRAILER is custom made for the Lotus. It is a single axle, 81 ½” wide, 12’1 ½” long, and 56” high. There is a steel storage rack across the inside front. Will hold trailer for first refusal of buyer of my S2K. Beaver tail floor drops down at rear. Top hinges in front, two gas struts. Electric brakes with six-point connector for tow vehicle. Light inside trailer. Installed a pair of Gorilla Lifts to make ramp easier to open and close. Three matching aluminum wheels. (1 is spare)

For Sale: Ultralite S2k , also a 7X14 enclosed trailer
Foxfire S2K replied to powderbrake's topic in Cars For Sale
I drove to St. Louis to ride in Jerry's fabulous S2K, then to Texas where I ordered an Ultralite S2K kit in 2005, completed in 2006. Have decided to put mine on the market, along with a custom trailer. Am gathering photos to post the sale here, though I will pay this site for the posting first. -
I mounted a pair of aluminum motorcycle mirrors after carefully deciding where the holes should be in the hood. With only large fender washers inside and chrome smaller fender washers outside, there was too much vibration. Got a roll of that fiberglass epoxy impregnated tape and put it in a patch around the hole, then set it hard with a mirror to reflect UV light. Following that, the inside fender washers and I have a rather steady pair of mirrors.

Supplied per your request. Wanteed a 'retro' appearance, so the Autometers are blackface along with the Lotus emblem on the horn button. She has the temp and oil pressure on top, with the tach nearby. Sure, wood added a bit of weight, but if the driver was really concerned about that, he'd weigh less! The park brake has orangey-brown silicone wrapping on the handle, and there is brown Coroplast (Like Jerry's red Coroplast) on the floor and in the boot. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1707210044_Wooden dash Foxfire DSCN0050.jpg
