Fascinating!

Steve Walker Bodyshop in Bathgate will deliver a storming cosmetic job for you. Whether he has expertise in detailed structural repairs [to an Elise], I am not certain. Worth asking the question. There may be a way for him to sub that part of the work to a quality outfit of your choice, do the bodyw...

Hm, yep, but think those are the crinkly ones again.

Who has most recently bought a set of S1 mats, with the hard rubber backing? If anyone?!

Thanks Derek. Got possibilities. Think carpet is the preference though. Eliseparts do those also, but look a wee bit like the thin Lotus version I was complaining about! And from your signature...so the orange bombshell gets to stay, huh? Just as well, that is one of THE best looking Elises I have e...

You are perfect for the role, Karen

Shame there are no standard S1 mats on there, Ian needs a set. Mind you, the "original" Lotus ones were very poor, wrinkled up under clutch foot action etc. Tut - of all people! - recommended hard-backed versions from Motobuild Racing, and I ordered those a year or two after I got the car. Much bett...

That's a great idea

Simon, Derek and Karen, I received my pair of calendars safely today - WOW, what a great job you have done :-) Very slick. Really must try harder with my 2007 photos to make it into the next one! Didn't see any credits for pics in the calendar, suggestion for future edition is either a small subtitl...

I got bored by the end of page 1, but it was entertaining.

The best bit was when our Neil waded in

The story goes that VVC cast metal inlet is good when you need the higher airflow on tuned engines...but as a result, sacrifices torque at lower engine speeds. And this is particularly magnified on a standard engine, where the lower volume of the std placcy inlet means air shifts faster at those low...

"PS: Thats not 100 miles from full to refill, I reset the counter when trying to change stack brightness "

You need to get those specs uprated, Your Tutness

I think the Advan is only available in 195 size for the front...in which case if you don't move up to 225 at rear at the same time, you might detect a shift towards oversteer as the front will be grippier than before. Indeed, not sure if Advans are available in 205 for rear, come to think of it! I t...

Also has some brilliant Elise blethers in his other site, which you may have seen but not necessarily brow...
