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

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 :D

Good luck in the series! :thumbsup

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..... :wink:
