S1Steve

It may help you and a buyer if you posted some photo's. Tell us what engine, gearbox, color, and how much you are asking. Sounds like a nice car, Good luck with your sale.

Tom, Thats a great idea . Not sure about getting the S1 thru tech. Having our own run group would be a smart, fun, safe, afternoon. I hope Jon can make it !!!! LOL And I want to see the Thunder from down Under in action. aka Croc !!!!!

Way to go Karl, I was looking at Cosworth USA's web site today and they have nice bits for your new engine, should be a screamer. How's the 6 speed Caterham gearbox going to like the added power, I have no idea of it's rating. You and Mike are going to be bored waiting for the UNDER TWO HUNDRED CLUB to catch up with you two this spring. LOL Look forward to hearing it !!!!

I have been asked afew questions about what's in the S1, so I thought I'd post it here. This is what I have, Ford Sierra Type 9 Gear Ratios 1=3.35 2=1.81 3=1.26 4=1.00 5=0.83 P/N 839t-7211-CB Fill Plug Tool= 11mm square male If you bought your S1 From Dynamic Motorsports, I was told the Mike Cotts in the UK rebuilt the transmissions and he did a nice job with the rebuild. Rear , Source Nissan 1400 Bakkie truck( South African Model) Ratio= 3.93 Steve

That FIA bar makes me want to cut that thing apart and fix it !!!!

Dave, Glad that you found us( Thanks to Scott for dropping a card on your windsheild). I look forward to getting together with you and # 50 Superformance S1. Just so happens that Dave has one of the other S1's in Orange, like mine, so I think thats cool. We'll get you to join us on our NJ-NY-PA runs in the spring and fall. See you soon, Steve Novelli

Yep, You are very lucky to enjoy that nice drive x2 each day. I get to drive on I-476 and I-95 to work, Philly traffic sucks !!!!

I never put proper roll-over protection on mine, because it would mean cutting out parts of the the back shelf. It would also cover up the area were the top supports slide into the body. Plus , The rollbar would be too tall to use the top. Blah,Blah Blah !!! If I really want a track car I will sell my S1 and buy a proper racecar, or a Caterham with a FIA bar or better. I think my S1 is to nice to hack up. I feel that is the one area that Superformance screwed up on the S1. They claimed that it is a great track car( and it is) but lacking rollover protection, you don't want to stuff it, or worse, roll it. My 2 cents, LOL

Hi Seamore, Those hoops are hoops, not roll bars. No tech inspector I know likes them or will pass it . If you are going to track it be smart and cage it up. Only one group ever let me slide, and they don't run track events anymore. The s1 is GREAT on a track .

And now there are two, Thanks

The S1 forum shows this car as the only Rotary powered S1. The rest of them are Zetec powered. So someone thought it was a good idea. S1's are good , but I don't know anything about a Rotary. It no longer posted on E-Bay, hopefully it has a new owner.

New tires in the spring and change the oil. Mike ( Croc) Monday is order the new 7 day,Congrats !!!

Nothing like a nice big rack !!

If you read the first post , you will see that " Croc" is Mike. The guy who is selling his Cat SV. If you read all the posts, you will see that we don't know what Mike ( Croc) is up to !!!! I have a funny feeling he may be redirecting us from what he is really doing, It's working so far !!! As for speaking in " CODE", it's called English ??

Mike , If you don't fill us in on the details we'll never know whats going on !!!!!! Good luck with the sale of " Fat Bastard ", Hoping that someone in the NE will buy it it !!!! Steve

Jon, WTF !!!!! But glad you are OK. SCCA has a thing called RallyCross, seems like it may be something you would enjoy !!!!

Another fine day with the LEO group, great weather, I think there were 9 se7ens out , Plus Jon (BOX) in his Meotter. Very nice to see the old gang and meet the new guys. Karls new 7 is over the top nice, Thanks for letting me try it on. Hope everyone made it home safe, Steve

Bruce, Channel 6 news said it's going to be 60 by the afternoon on Sunday. Thats a good temp for this time of the year !!!!

That would be door # 2, My much better half.

Betsy and I will meet up at WTR !!

Hi Gunther, # 47 is very close to the 14k mile mark. My next project is doing something with the wheels, and I am happy to see yours painted. I was thinking about going alittle darker, and powder coated, $$$$ but yours look great !!! Steve # 47

I know alittle about this S1, and have to say this is one of the most well built and well sorted S1's out there. If you are looking for an S1, jump on it. Gunther, Good luck with the sale, love the wheels , paint or powder coated ???

Jon, x2

Or page 27 in the " Lotus Seven & The Independents " has a photo of a totally different setup.

Does this help ??? Still looking for a drawing..
