2005 Lotus Elise

Lotus Elise (2005)
for sale

Price: US $9,100.00

Description:

For sale is a 2005 Lotus Elise with a full Exige front/rear conversion and Honda K20A engine swap from a DC5 Integra/RSX Type R. It currently puts out 240whp/172 ft lb naturally aspirated. This has been my project car since 2009 and now I think it's time for someone else to possibly enjoy it.
The chassis has 60k miles and the engine has approx 33k miles. It is fully CA Smog legal (just smogged and registered the car through 2016). The bodywork was done by Julio at Mulholland Motorsports and has been maintained by Harry at A1 Automotive, two of the most reputable Lotus shops in the LA area. The engine swap was performed by Sportcar Motion in San Diego and tuned by Church Automotive in Torrance. Tim at Innovative Mounts designed the swap components. The car is well sorted and runs strong.
The car was involved in a parking lot incident in 2011 when a vehicle backed into the front of the car and tapped the fiberglass clamshell at low speed. No damage was sustained except to the front clamshell, which was fully replaced with an Exige front end. No damage to the chassis, frame, or radiator was sustained. The vehicle was repaired by Mulholland Motorsports, a well known bodyshop specializing in exotics repair in Los Angeles.
The car was featured on Speedhunters and all the details you could want on the background of the car can be found here: Speedhunters: The Story of a Honda Powered Lotus
