Scottish Elises

The sad day has arrived for me to sell my car. This is the sale of my stunning metallic black S2 Lotus Elise 111S. I have spent over a minimum of 2.5K on this car in the last year as I had intended to keep it for a long time. Only selling as I have bought a flat and the car is the deposit. 2005, 63,...

Cool thanks for all in input everyone. I'll get bridgestones for rear for now and upgrade to yoko's when funds permit. Then (and I'm not being snarky) go see http://www.carlimits.com if you're confidence is still shaken, as Walshy's teachings let you play around with all of this in a safe environmen...

New fronts are Bridgestone Potenza's RE 040.... that bad choice?

Just fitted new front tyres (bridgestone) a couple of weeks ago to my elise, 5-6mm left or rear so thought it would be ok to run for a while. However as taking a right hand bend at only 40mph the rear end kicked out and i powered towards to posts on the other side of the road, but i caught it and th...

Hahaha no, although the insurance wanted me to go there, but sadly for me i opted for WIllowbrae, I had heard good things about them but i've had shocking treatment - they've had my car for 88 days!! when i was orignally quoted 7-10.
