  1. SOLD SOLD- This Superformance S-1 is a Lotus Seven style car which was built in 2002. Subsequent work included a modified 2.0-liter Ford Zetec, a strengthened and re-geared Ford T9 five-speed manual transmission, a Quaife limited-slip differential has been added, brake and suspension upgrades, MegaSquirt 3 engine management with Bluetooth, a stainless steel exhaust system with a catalytic converter, and more. This S-1 shows 18,xxx miles and is offered with service records, design documents, a build list, spare parts and tools, a soft top and side curtains,adjustable pedals for taller drivers and a CLEAR TITLE SHOWING THE CAR AS A 1965 Lotus Seven S1-easy registering for many states... The car is finished in yellow and comes with a black soft top, rear cockpit cover, and side curtains with rollup windows (very similar to the Caterham version). I have fitted fitted new carbon fiber front fenders with custom mounts as well as lining and repainting the rear fenders and new 200TW Falken tires purchased this year with less than 200 miles on them. Stripes are not painted on and can be removed if desired.. Silver 17″ Kosei K1-TS wheels are wrapped in 205/40 Falken RT660 tires. Six-piston Wilwood brake calipers and larger rotors (upgraded from factory 4-piston) with aluminum-hat rotors are fitted up front, while four-piston Wilwood calipers and vented rotors can be found at the rear. The previous owner replaced the brake pads and changed the brake fluid approx. 2k miles ago. The interior is trimmed in black vinyl and features bucket seats, race harnesses, a removable steering wheel, diamond-plate aluminum floor panels. Mounts have been made for a cellphone in the cabin and for a camera between the roll hoops. USB and trickle charger ports have also been added. The carbon fiber dash panel houses rewired VDO instrumentation including a speedometer, a rotated tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature, and fuel level and a clock. The digital odometer shows 18,xxx miles. (Engine running video: The five-speed Ford Type 9 manual transmission has been re-geared and strengthened with components from BGH Gear Tech. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a custom driveshaft and a 3.91:1 rear end with a Quaife limited-slip differential. The rear suspension has been upgraded with new steel trailing arms and independent urethane bushings, a Mumford link with rod ends, and reinforced chassis mount points. A stainless steel exhaust system with a catalytic converter has also been installed. Custom mirrors were also added along with a custom grill and new black headlights that are now LED,rear tail lights are now also LED. The car is supplied with design and service records, spare parts and fluids, MegaSquirt system, tuning cables, special tools and stock wheels. I will be adding to this ad as time allows. There is a small chip in the rear fender (see pic) that was done by previous owner-it only goes thru the gel coat,I put the sticker over it (I know,not the best fix),also,there is a crack in the paint on the passenger side front of hood,hard to see in pics,just going for full disclosure. The car runs great,handles awesome and is one of the best tributes to the original I have came across.
  2. I am looking for a BEC bike engined 7-Locost. Please call me at 313-377-9542. Thanks Rich
  3. There are a few manufacturers of these in different forms.
  4. You may want to look for an S1 Superformance if you like them at all,they are a couple inches shorter than an SV but a bit wider.. Also the pedalbox is I believe a bit wider with adjustable pedals fore and aft..
  5. Just one more reason to buy a 4 post if you have the room...
  6. Here is a Locost for sale in Michigan,no affiliation. Looks pretty good....
  7. I love my 4 post lift. I bought the smaller version (7000 lbs.) as I don't lift larger cars normally. I can lift the front or rear with my large 4ft. jack stands (see pic) to remove wheels. Best thing I bought for the garage,from working on it to waxing it,no more bending over-everything at waist height!! Rich
  8. Any 7 gatherings going for the Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan on Saturday? Thanks Rich
  9. I got mine off of Amazon.
  10. Just installed these, similar to new Caterham lights. They seem to work great,much brighter and they give the car a bit of a different look... Not sure why pictures are upside down?
  11. No offense implied,seems like a very good price... Should sell quickly.
  12. Looks like a great car,if it's not a scam someone should be all over this. I would be if I didn't just buy the SuperFormance S1... GLWS
  13. I do not notice much less buffeting,it seems as windy as all the others...
  14. Nice comeback on the Lotus badge comment.
  15. SuperFormance S1 with a SVT forged motor with about 220hp.
  16. I have found a Superformance S1...
