Re: S1 Audi Elise

Nothing to update really I’m afraid. It’s been in hibernation so I’ve been working on finishing the garage.

Looking to get the silver honda Elise running now before Spring

Re: Interior size difference between Elise and Exige

I did notice the exige was never cramped for me 6ft 3 15stone but my s1 Elise with harness bar was almost undriveable until I spaced out the OMP wheel.

Re: Interior size difference between Elise and Exige

Strange because they are identical, maybe just the feeling of having a bigger car around you?

Re: Fog / hazard light switches

Top work 👏🏼
Worth mentioning one type is easy to take an apart (I think the TWR ones) and the others disassemble themselves into 20 pieces and are almost impossible to put back together.

Contact cleaner and compressed air works wonders without taking them apart

Re: S1 Audi Elise

I have been quietly working away at some issues. Fitted a new in tank fuel pump from Spitfire to do away with the secondary pump and aged oem setup.

The switches can be disassembled and cleaned
Not all of them, there are two types - TWR and I can’t remember the other.

Re: S1 Audi Elise

The first proper drive was an incredible feeling! Even better after all the wheels were pointing in the right direction 😂
