Wow ! Finally my 7 is now 10 !
Although summer is gone, too late to cruise with open wheels, I'm happy
to report that my Lotus 7 powered by S2000 started!!!
One tap of the ignition and she came!! My heart was pumping and very happy
to hear my 7 is running again. All I need now is to clean up, dress up and detail the car.
I appreciate all the help "under the hood".
I'm proud about my S2000 engine. Next summer, I will be beside all of you.
1st picture, showing the oil pan is just 4 1/2 clearance fr the ground. I'm not certain if I could make it without busting the pan. My purpose is to install stock
configuration. Dry sump and cost is not the issue. Dependability is what I'm shooting for.
I will try to install the modified oil pan just in case the stock don't work. The modified pan will have a clearance of 6 inches from the ground. The minus side, I lost 3/8 oil from a quart(I think not much).
The other picture, showing the tunnel and the shifter. I have to cut the small cross-member to fit the shifter.
The other picture showing a big room in the front (just in case someone planning to put a supercharger)...lots of room.
One thing I can tell you: the accessable & maintenance to the oil filter, exhaust manifold, steering, thermostat & hoses is excellent. You don't need to break your hands to reach them.

congrats.... talk about a power to weight ratio.
I think his Seven is a hundred heavy if I remember correctly, and with an F20c it'll be slightly more but who cares it's still gonna be INSANE power!.
TIME TO GO FORCED INDUCTION!!!
