Well, where to start?  All we can say to our many European friends is that ordering now, ahead of Brexit, is likely to be simpler, faster (and probably cheaper) than post-Brexit.   As for the politics, we’ll leave that to others.

Stark are proud to be able to offer two similar-but-different supercharger kits, specifically designed for Lotus-Honda installations.

One is the tried & trusted kit from TTS Performance, the other is a new kit from Honda tuning specialists, CPL Racing.  Both are based around the super-reliable and powerful Rotrex  supercharger.

See our tuning parts page for more information.

This side of a Ferrarit, not a lot beats a Honda engine.  Except perhaps a tuned Honda engine.  Which is why we’ve added a range of go faster goodies to our new tuning parts page.

Donor Package

As well as having a Rover-engine’d Lotus to begin with, our conversion kit, your choice of ECU, kit upgrades and other optional extras, you will need to source a  Honda donor package (engine, gearbox and other parts) for the conversion.

There are two main ways to source a donor package.  One is to buy a complete car, strip the parts required and sell the rest to recoup some funds.  The other is to buy the parts, preferably in one go, from a car breaker or other source.

Our build manual provides more guidance on donor cars and sources, and a comprehensive list of all the parts required, and is available to buy separately for £40.

See How to Order to obtain a personalised quotation.

The Completion sub-kit and all full kits now include the range of small electrical items needed: power jointing box, roll of loom tape, relay (S1), inline fuse holder etc.

Our already comprehensive kit is now even more… comprehensive.

Stark automotive now offer, as an optional extra, an “engine preparation” kit which helps to get your donor Honda engine into good shape before being installed into your Lotus.
