Scottish Elises

I put a set of CL5+ on my car last summer. Didn't notice too much brake dust (maybe I need to try harder), however; I did a wet trackday at KH in September, then some local trips. I am booked on for KH this weekend, so as the weather has brightened up I thought I would use the car a bit to make sur...

I've not tried them but Ferodo DS2500 are supposedly good on the road (consistent, cold feel etc) and one of the least for dust?
I heard Mintex 1144 were 'dusty AF'.

I think I’ll give them a go, I used to use them on my V6’s and I see Eliseparts have them in S1 sizes

I’m currently using CL5+ brake pads, they’re great on track but I’m getting a bit fed up with the mess they create on the wheels. Today I did only 50 miles and my new gold wheels were black when I got home. I’m looking for a less messy pad I can use for road work and I can go back to CL5’s for track...

Holly thread resurrection

I wonder how many of these have died or have simply been tucked away, I imagine at that time a lot were used as almost daily hacks. Mine certainly was.

Mine has died and recently been resurrected, like a phoenix

That's me booked up for the double header, here's hoping I manage a full lap at Oulton this time :mrgreen: :D I might trailer it down this time (just in case), what's the name of the hotel you guys use for trailer parking instead of Sandiway ? 1) Ed 2) Scib 3) AndyG 4) Baz 5) Nick 6) Macca16 7) Ali C

Thats me booked for Croft, it'll be the Elise's first outing on track since the incident at Oulton. So fingers crossed to complete the day.

Ross, I’ve got an Eliseparts boot rack for the S1. I’ve used it for going on the French Frolic, it allowed us to take clothes for a week and two crash helmets. You’re most welcome to borrow it if you want.

Cheers
Graham

If your quick you could send a note to Santa, he must be coming up to Gullane on the 25th

I'm looking for an Elise S1 fibreglass Boot cover/ Tailgate.

If anyone has a spare stashed away they would be willing to sell please let me know.

Beware, the lead to the coil is a bitch to remove and refit. A bit of skin loss from above or easier access from underneath with under tray removed.

Hi Ross, I’ve just changed mine, my car has a single coil. Some of the vvc cars have two coils. It was a bit of a pain getting access, I had to remove the flexi pipe from the exhaust to gain access. You can only get to it from underneath a pain but easily do able, it’s only held in place by three bo...

Just checked it was the £14 boots I purchased, they survived 35C heat on track on the Frolic

Thanks for this Kinger - I had no intention of doing the job myself but I'll be able to pass this onto the guy doing the work :thumbsup No worries about losing gearbox oil/needing topping up? :cheers We just made sure we did one side at a time, and if jack up enough no problem with oil leakage.

I’ll have at look when I get home tomorrow, currently on Le Shuttle. I think it was the more expensive ones.

It’s a pretty straightforward job, I’ve replaced all mine a couple of weeks back. I bought them from Elise parts as they came with correct grease and retaining clips. After removing the hub nut ( it’s really tight) in was just a case of removing the two bolts securing the top wishbone to the chassis...
