£550 for a brand new R1 engine that's just obscene, WELL DONE THAT MAN.

I was surprised I got it for that, let me tell you - the guy originally wanted more than double that but took away his reserve at the last minute on the auction and I "sniped" the final bid. eBay can be fun sometimes....

A quick update on the R1 project - been collecting some shiny bits (KAD 4 pots and Pipercross airbox from a pal hopefully one of these weekends)

And here's a few shots of the shell being stripped down. This little gem impresses me more and more the farther apart it comes - other than a bit of very minor surface rust and a battery box that will need fettling I don't think one bit of it will need replacing - gotta love the inland New Zealand climate

Lastly, ordered these tonight but with gray inserts vs red - a bit of a change from plans but similar cost in the end, and they'll be sure to fit! Oh, and it solves my personal dilemma of not ever owning an Elise - these are the same ones that came on the Sport 135, Sport 190 and others as passenger seats - difference is my seats will be faster than other Sports 190 seats once the car is done, so that makes me feel better

Aric, out of curiosity, how do you ship these items? And with whom?
Getting stuff here in South Africa is a nightmare!

[Monte Busa]

The front suspension goodies and brakes were gotten from here in the US, the seats were purchased direct from hanger111.com

The other stuff I get imprted I have my brother do as he's a customs broker....PM me your e_mail and I'll have him contact you about South Africa as he can look up rules and regs for other countries often.
