Default LS1 Lotus

Hi Guys -

This forum looks like a fantastic place for petrolheads like me!

Just to introduce myself and The Project; I'm Pete and I'm fitting an LS1 ('98 F-body) into my 1988 Lotus Excel. Running a Tremec TKO 600 and BTR Hydratrak limited-slip diff. It's going to be a road-legal trackday car with full roll cage etc..

I'm at the wiring stage now, so my first cries for help will be about that: Looking at the posts on this site I'm sure you guys are going to be able to help.

Living in England makes getting parts slightly more difficult, but at least the exchange-rate is in my favour at the moment!!

Regards

Pete
