Scottish Elises

Hi all,

Picked my Europa S at the weekend (can I still be a scottish-elises member? ). I have upgraded brakes and a 235 bhp thorney ECU remap. Thought you might appreciate a few pics...







I'm in Edinburgh so keep your eyes peeled for me!

Cheers,

Tom.

Nice car mate, all welcome. Rare car roun d these parts I think. How you finding it ?

Welcome aboard Tom, and though it has a roof on, it is a very good looking car.

Very worthwhile upgrades as well with the ECU and brakes.

We had a very dear friend on here with the same spec, but a different colour, so you are more than welcome.

Car looks great - was quite tempted by it myself when I saw it on Pistonheads ads.

Looks good in silver! I've still yet to see one anywhere other than the Murray showroom...

Cheers for the responses all.....

I just posted but hit submit rather than preview and the post doesn't show? Am I doing summat wrong?

Anyway, I said something like this.....

Still learning the car but so far I can say :

Good - Power, grip, looks, well put together, usable - i.e. good cruiser as well as mad hotrod!

Bad - Engine note - truck-like at idle and washing machine-like at full bore, flatspot in the powerband at 4k.......that all!

Another Europa owner was mentioned. Do we know how many of us are up here north of the border?

Cheers,

Tom.

Hi Tom, looks great. I haven't seen one in the flesh, look forward to having a nose soemtime.

Is this your first Lotus?

Cheers, Peter

Yep. First Lotus and I'm delighted to have made the leap. You're welcome for a poke about anytime

Cheers,

Tom.

Very mixed reviews of the TMS maps in the vx world, although it's got to be better than the standard map with a hoooooge hole in it.

if it REALLY bugs you courtenay sport would be a good place to visit

Oooeeerr

Any excuse for a blast out of the house, let me know if you want to go for an impromptu run some night, I'm just across the bridge.

Interesting. I was under the impression the Thorney re-map was developed to eliminate the flatspot, until i drove it.....

Courtenay you say? Hmmmmm........*scratches chin*......
