Sold My Hood

[Guest 2b_pablo]

VX220 turbo is a brilliant car, very fast. But all I could afford would be an NA and its not going to have the same sparkle. Might as well get the elise which is lighter, cheaper VED and eligible for classic insurance.

Good spec ------- I think a better choice than the LAD conversion one ------- have you got it yet??

 

It's got the right tyres (although if you're going to track it quite a lot, invest in a spare set of wheels and fit 888s - brilliant tyre), good exhaust system (same silencer as I've got) and the S2 suspension upgrade (same as mine)

 

If not already fitted, treat yourself to a good induction system -- I've got an ITG (supposed to be one of the best

 

Good choice --------- enjoy

have sccoped a 2nd hand hurricane ind kit and a scabby set of S1 wheels (will paint them black or white or something) so off to a good start

 

heres a couple of pics:

You've done very well -- car looks the biz

 

Well done with the Hurricane and especially well done with the wheels -- are you going down the 888s route, I had them on the MNR (excellent) and lots of Loti owners swear by them -- they're a good price as well

probably use 888s but I guess I need to upgrade the rear toe links or something?

 

ind kit and wheels both cost me £100 each so not too bad

[Guest alan rowe]

Don't think you will have to -- I'm pretty sure it's only the 048s that have to and is recommended by Lotus -- double check on the SELOC Tech Wiki --- loads of info that should help

 

Getting the wheels for £100 was a great find

[Guest SEgan]

Great looking car

 

is it the right colour Alan?

[Guest alan rowe]

That's cruel -- it's not a fair question to ask at the moment -- let him enjoy his new baby for a little while and I'll explain later that YELLOW is the only colour it should be in

 

(a good looking and pretty car is a yellow car and Elises are very good looking and also very pretty - as are MNRs and Robin Hoods (V8 style))

I really wanted yellow but none in my price range Might respray it yellow

[Guest alan rowe]

That's my boy (and it would have to be Spice Yellow -- the metallic yellow)

 

But blue with the oatmeal leather looks AOK

[Guest chris brown]

But blue with the oatmeal leather looks AOK

But blue with the oatmeal leather looks much better than yellow The only one that looks good in yellow is a hood with a V8 in it (had to say that as I spent most of the day on Saturday in it).

 

Nice looking car

[Guest salty_monk]

Looks like a nice one, good find
