Well another 5 hours in Elises and I have Tango at home.
Wow! She feels like a proper race car (down to lack of sound deadening I think) and very fast.
A few minor issues - main one is the seat is too far forward so cant really drive it properply hope to sort before Qaul.

Heres a pic of Tango with her war paint on

Big thank you to Krishnan for doing a great job in PS!

Also BIG thank you to Dan & Luke amazing what they have done

Not sure about the shelf on the back, and I think the splitter will get mullered early on, but I have to admit that angle is a lot more pleasing that the one in your avatar

I wonder what the previous owner would make of it now! Its a huge transformation... I looked at buying that car when it was on PH, but you were due down the following day to buy, so he held me off

Good luck in the series!

Cheers,
Iain

I guess you can get away with it if its functional on a honda-powered race car, but not on a bog std 120horse Elise.....

Car is looking great jamie, love the graphics.
