Scottish Elises

I'm booked in a rwd bmw as well, great for cooling and wear on tyres and brakes

Sorry for eavesdropping, was having a gander for any pics or vids :) was impressed at how steady the pic was for a car with basically no suspension. It's basiaclly just one of these duct-taped ( :lol: ) to my roll bar http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/mini-dvr-1-digital-video-recorder.htm The recording u...

Std adjustable dampers on CS.

Are the std toe links prone to breaking/bending or flexing too much or something?

And croft sounds like it'd be cracking Mass

Dunc.

How come the uprated rear toelink kit Andy?

Mass, can't make that one, will only be doing the two dates mention in previous post this month - there's still spaces for 25th

Not nuts and bolts that I'm used to but sounds fair enough

Theres a very cheap S1 on Autotrader in Glasgow at the moment at £6.5k - assuming it is straight, that plus £4k of mods (brakes, suspension, headwork and tyres) would make a pretty nice track car. Saw that, won't be buying straight away though :( Realistically probs about a month or two down the li...

Sounds like me, have put the car in my sig there to help

Bloke with a red elise and the lad with the Gulf colours exige?

Dunc.

Perhaps mate, I'm big on tyres, brakes and geometry. Noticed you can buy camber plates off the web to give you some extra -ve camber at the front I assume? It's all adjustable on the elise to a certain degree isn't it (excuse the pun) - does this include castor angle?

Dunc.

im sure that even after the mods, it will be cheaper to run than the radical. :?: :?: does/ did the radical not break down alot? With the exception of a wiring issue with the dash when I first got it (bad contact) it's not skipped a beat and is extremely cost effective on track as it so capable - d...

You're a friendly bunch, thanks for the welcome

Awww don't say that, I'm trying to kid myself that I wouldn't spend anything on it and be happy with it as it is

Dunc.

Shooomer, looks like I've come to the right place then - how will I get on after the radical?

Silly questions for now are as above really, is an s1 suitable to go straight onto track, assuming good mechanical condition of course (and popping some decent brake fluid in).

Dunc.

Hi folks, I'm looking at picking up an s1 as a more sensible track toy (currently use a radical) and reasonably cheap runabout when needed too. I'm attracted to the s1 as I'm not too bothered about straight line punch more a car that is enjoyable on track with sensible running costs, it'd be an earl...
