Scottish Elises

Most likely Ali Smith?

And another S1 at auction.

Spotted it Sunday and this morning stopping at Sainsbury's.

Stephen Curle was quoted £100 to do a full car set of wishbones.

£50 a wishbone is... Quite a lot. Elise parts have new wishbones at £125 each.

Are you coating the hub carrier extrusions?

Thinking this is the way to go, found a couple places nearby that does it so going to call them today to get a quote to zinc passivate once I’ve had them blasted.

Interested in the quotes

Agree about aquablast being a good idea.

I was going to get the rust off and see how much metal is left first. But plans were cold galvanise then epoxy mastic or similar. Would be interested in the zinc plating, did you get any costs? I didn't, think Stephen Curle knows the costs though, it's not huge. I'd spoken to a place in Paisley who...

Suspension looking like the car has lived at the bottom only the sea so Nitrons off and sent away to get refurbished, expecting a big bill going by the state of them. https://i.ibb.co/Fs93g1S/F57-A21-D2-281-E-4-FA5-9105-DC5-C91-D58-AE3.jpg Going to remove the wishbones and refurb whilst they are aw...

Hy guys, Anyone know what the diffs are between the shocks as per subject line? quantum or nitron? both the same fitment I guess... :) They're not. Fronts are the similar fitment but I believe differently valved. The Toyota rears are notably longer and do not fit K series cars. Toyota chassis and s...

I was about Hillington on Saturday 2-3 pm (ish), if it's one with black compomotive's? Think I saw you parked up on Nithsdale road a month or so back? Yep that's me! I stay there but only put the car there if it's a nice weekend, I'm far too scared of how expensive a minor parking incident would be...

And If so very short sighted. A current owner would be put off buying an Emira if they can’t get parts for current car, goodwill and all. And what does it say to the people who are still waiting for their FE cars to be built? Not much given they are legally obliged to hold spares for cars they've p...

A change of plans mean my little used 3650 Carbon rim brake Hunt wheels are for sale. The wheels are fitted with the excellent Continental GP5000 tyres in 25mm tubeless form, set up tubeless with Stans Race fluid. They hold pressure well and roll very nicely. The whole assembly is very light with th...

so the 390 Exige FE starts at £64, Emira with finish it has, tech and powered with the same toyota V6 cant be £60K?

The V6 is the more expensive variant apparently.

New factory setup should make productivity way more efficient over the Elise / exige hand assembled production line.
