Late Xmas present............

Post by tut » Thu Feb 01, 2007 12:03 am

Just bought myself a spare Elise. Seemed too good to miss for £9,990.

"Hi tut. Here is the spec of my S1 Honda Elise.

I'll have the floor done and the earthing points cleaned up. The temp sensor to the stack display will be replaced. The door window seals will also be replaced and it will receive a good last clean up.

Virtually everything has been replaced recently. For instance :-

Honda JDM engine fitted by BLiNK in March 2006. Still under warranty
New Toyo R888 tyres front and back.
Nitron suspension rebuilt March '06
New steering column fitted March '06
New steering rack fitted March '06
All 4 brake callipers reconditioned March '06
Elise parts Ali belled discs all round fitted March '06
New Janspeed exhaust fitted August '06
CAT pipe fitted, but brand new CAT included
New battery fitted last March '06
Harness bar with Eliseparts 4 point harnesses fitted March '06 (although never used on track)
Snap off steering wheel.
All wheel bearings and ball joints changed last year
All wishbone bushes replaced with Powerflex ones in 2005
Never tracked
One previous owner.
Taxed and MOT till September.
Full service history invoices from 2000.
Registration “ L111 LHD “ included

Anything is in better nick than N1 TUT.

However it means that I can carry on getting her back into shape, but still have one to use in the meantime.

Well done tut :) I'm delighted the car is going to a good home.

I'd heard a whisper that you were thinking of moving over to the other side but as you're taking the steering wheel with you it's not so bad. ;) I'm sure we'll all soon get used to seeing T1NUT in yellow anyway and of course it'll be so handy in France for the overtaking manouvres. :)

N1 TUT is still my first love Lawrence, so this one will not replace it, but it gives me chance to carry on with the rebuild and not rush things. After everything is back together, it still needs most of the clam mounting points rebuilt, and then a complete re-spray

Also I hate being without my car, we have had some lovely sunny days, and it was 15 degs yesterday. Really been getting withdrawal symptoms.

Track days have already started, road runs are not far off.

Cowan is actually driving the car up here on Friday, so I do not even have to collect it. I have bought it unseen, the only proviso is that the rear subframe is in good condition and not rusted as mine was.
