Scottish Elises

Made the decision the go for the full cage, in stallion had been, interesting!

Here's a couple of photos for those interested.

Rear wasn't too bad bar a seized bolt in the rear stay hats mounts to the small alloy insert that sits up the longeron.



The front has been a nightmare, all this lot has had to come out



Also discovered a knackered Nitron so that's away for a rebuild and a snapped spring, all making the 28th trackday unlikely

Looks quite straighforward.

and thats all got to fit back in the dash

It's simple but getting the rollbar out and the new rollbar in was a nightmare, cutting out the bulkhead makes
It easier but that's a whole other world of pain!

The dash looks a lot worse than it actually is to be honest!

Good effort!

all went back together a treat, and it all seems to still work

re-bleed the chargecooler in its new location and a few other bits and pieces and we are good to go"

look forward to seeing it on track

Good progress..

Busy tonight fitting new springs to the new suspension-quantum- lots of good reports so will see how they are

I swapped the springs out from a road biased set to full on race-

850lb rears with 350lb helpers

650 fromts with 250 helpers

Pretty extreme for a car what weighs about 750kgs
Kitchen table using the kids ruler..


Spring comparison, 550lb vs 850- picture stuggles to show how much thicker the higher rate spring is to be honest.



All finished can't wait to try them out.

Just as well that's not a road car anymore.

Yep, 750/550 was a laibilty in the cold and wet
