Re: Super lap Scotland

It really is as mentioned above a very easy route into Motorsport with an “unmodified” car. SLS has had a few Elises over the years, and if you’re doing track days already, there’s probably not much extra prep required beyond numbers, transponder and decals. Drivers equipment are a MotorsportUK stan...

Re: Cycling

The SA hubs (rear) have a short chain to activate the shift. It’s probably that that requires tweaking.
You may be able to do that electronically. That’s how you adjust Di2 indexing

Re: Cycling

Robin, might just be simple adjustment required. Have a look on YouTube at gear indexing, park tools videos are pretty good and explain well. If you are getting these symptoms worth trying to adjust yourself, it’s normally just a twist of the barrel adjusters slightly possibly caused with cables sl...

Re: Cycling

You’re making progress Robin, suddenly you’ll find you’ve made a great step forward and either you’ll get faster, or hills won’t seem so steep, or you’ll increase your distance. Using something like Strava or Run Keeper will help track your progress. I found similar with cycling, I was always at the...

Re: Cycling

It's great to see people taking to the outdoors to get fit and have fun. If my rapid weight gain (close to 18st at the limit) was anything to go the covid health hangover is going to be a big one. I also think that it’s really obvious that obesity is a significant morbidity factor if you do get Cor...

Re: Cycling

<snip> I am going to borrow a friends turbo trainer (and join zwift) which he doesn't need for a few weeks over winter to see if I get use of it so I keep some of the biking fitness I have worked for throughout next summer. But I can see myself switching back to more running over winter as I genera...

Re: Cycling

Yes,I’ll admit to being a MAMIL, didn’t really have enough time to cycle regularly, but still enjoyed it and usually completed a couple of sportives and at least one audax each year over the last 3-4 years (100Km). Last year did Ride to the Sun, a 100 mile overnight from Carlisle to Crammond. Unfort...

SOLD Set of Elise S2 wheels (Toyota)

I have a set of OE Wheels looking for a new home. They’ve been in my garage since I acquired them, now needing the space under the bench. Fitted with a set of ancient AD07 (DoT code shows 2009). Wheels are a bit scruffy, but usable (see photos) Anyone wanting to collect them from Dalgety Bay? Price:...

Re: Lambda Sensor

Can you wrap the cable and the external body in heat shield sleeve or tape?

Re: Elise YD02xxx at Knockhill on Sunday

It is mine. Often to be spotted somewhere near the Scrutineering Bay when SMRC Races, or KMSC SuperLap Scotland events are on.

The Track Noise Thread

Glad I could help out on Saturday Clarke and Campbell. Just to share the tips I gave for passing static noise tests: Make sure the car is fully warmed up Know what your rev limit is, you may want to round it down [emoji57] If you’ve got a valve controlled exhaust, know when that valve opens. Keeping...

Re: Mobile Phones for kids?

Thanks Campbell, my SE is getting a bit old now and the charger port is temperamental. Might just go for one of those as a replacement (or spare). Must say I find the SE just the right physical size.
