Old newbie

Post by Gazbo » Sun Apr 22, 2007 4:35 pm

Hi,

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've had my S1 for about 4 1/2 years and I hate to get back in my other car after driving it. Looking forward to contributing to this group in the future.

Gary.

Never hesitate to speak up when ever you have something intelligent and worthwhile to say

Or you could be like the vast majority and just speak sh*t all day

My Elise is a standard Norfolk Mustard '98 S1 that's done 18,000 miles. I have changed the indicators to clear ones, put on headlight covers, fitted a Larini exhaust to replace the knackered Janspeed backbox, K&N panel air filter, Yokohama Advans and Eliseparts braided clutch hose(dreaded red hose syndrome!), but that's as far as the modifications go. Been considering upgarding to S2 suspension mounts with Nitrons/Eibach springs. I'm sad to say that I'm based south of the border, Cheshire in fact. Hope that's not a problem?! I'll post some pics when I figure out how (if you really want to see another Norfolk Mustard S1).
