Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project

They did some other jobs I needed help with:- final water plumbing and gear linkage, which they did. But they kept promising me they were going to work on it 'next week'! - but didn't.

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project

Update...it's not progressing!! - Totally let down by Decimal Tenths, they had the car TWO years in total and didn't manage to get it started to do the mapping. It's back home now and back to the drawing board

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project

An update of sorts, as I'm conscious that I've been quiet about this build for a long time....reason is due to slow progress at Decimal Tenths, it's been with them for over a year now, they have done a lot of work on it though, to be fair - I'm hoping to have it all done and shipped back to me in An...

Re: S1 Audi Elise

they'll still come up looking nice, are you getting them chemically stripped and zinc passivate plated? - I did this with mine and then two coats of clear PIR15.
