Been wanting better belts for the car as the nornal seat belt doesn't fill me with confidence for it's ability to keep me restrained in a crash. Have seen bits about it and cars with them in, but read recently that they are for track use only and are not road legal. I would like to have both the 3 point belt and the 4/6 point ones for when pressing on. Any advice? I could just sell the car and buy the Chrome Orange Exige on Pistonheads though

On my way to work this morning 5.35am,police car starts stalking me,follows for approx 5mins 2inches from my rear then on come the blue lights and he pulls me over.Now this is the third time I've been pulled in three months for no reason at all, and I've got to say I'm starting to get more than a little cheesed off with it,to add insult to injury this is this mornings conversation. Policeman:Do you own this vehicle Sir? Me:Yes I do. Policeman:Would you mind getting out of the vehicle. Me:Why? Policeman:I have reason to believe that your front number plate is illegal. Me:No it isn't Policeman:Yes it is Me:One of your buddies pulled me up onl…

Phoned up Horizon to book the car in for a load of work (A service, MoT, new rear Advans, braided brake & clutch hoses, fit CRP etc)... and asked if I could kick around and use a laptop to get some work done as I'm self employed and would lose a load of money for taking a day off... they're happy to do this, so I'm working there next Wednesday whilst they fettle the Elise Nice one, Simon.

I am going to have to start doing this. This guy is selling a genuine lotus plastic nose badge. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...2490223836&rd=1 I am sure that the last one i bought from the dealer was about £9.00 rather than the enamel one at a ridiculous £32 or thereabouts.

Hi Bob! Glad you care! Still on here but work has been pretty busy latley and I don't have internet at home at the moment, so don't always have time to write much stuff I fitted the S2 susp last Sun. Was impressed with Steve Butts service, ordered the bits on the Thurs and they were there by the Tues. He also emailed me fitting instructions and advice about setting up etc. The shocks were dead easy to fit. Just two bolts to undo on each one. Although you have to fit steve's new brackets, which are very well made from stainless steel, at the front in place of the old ones. I was surprised how easily most the bolts came undone! I presume Lotus mu…

0-60 around 5 secs 0-100 under 10 secs 40-100 in 3rd gear 6.9 secs 160mph £7500 for a 250bhp Audi conversion....Clicky I mean, over winter you could get a base Elise with high miles for under £10k. Stick the Audi in it, and you've got a seriously, stupidly quick Elise for gay-base-S2 money. Ok, you might to put a grand or so aside for Nitrons and a decent brake upgrade to make it really count....but still, it seems unbelievably good value. The Honda lump probably suits the Elise better, but for a £2.5k saving and more power... Hm...wonder what the insurance would be like
