>1,664 lb how much does an S1 Elise go for? where does one

>>14161211
Ah, an S1 Elise. A car that makes a 1984 C4 Corvette seem like it has the build quality of a Lexus.

>>14161217
if you're referring to how spartan it is with the interior and features, that's what i like about it. i want a car that is barren and simplistic. it makes me appreciate driving that much more.

>can you fit a k20 longitudinally or does it have to be transverse?

ok

Stock elise S1s are illegal to register in the USA, and I am guessing you are American

Dont bother swapping.
Slap a small 45-55 mm turbo on it and build the head.
You'll have a very usable (2.5k-6.5/7k) powerband and it'll feel like a 700hp vette with extremely better handling.

>>14161362
why?

>>14161362
>>14161372
Any S1 full stop is illegal to register in the US.
>never sold in america
>not 25 years old
Not road legal

>>14161390
is it just the fact it wasn't sold in the US? that seems retarded.

>>14161396

no its illegal, they can still sell them but you have to prove that its not for road use

>>14161396
Same with the R34 and S15. If they aren't over 25 years old, they aren't street legal.

>>14161400
why not? i don't get how the s2 is legal, it's just as barren isn't it?

That Rover engine was a fucking piece of shit. The S2 is better.

>>14161235
It's just not very well assembled. The engine is the only reliable part of it, the rest is a rattlebox.

>>14161426
i like the looks of the s1 more, it's not edgy all over with a bunch of arbitrary vents.
