I have finally found out that the shocks that are fitted to my car are AVO fully adjustables. What i want to know now is - does anyone have any knowledge regarding them? Are they good/bad? Should i get rid of them? Are they designed specially for the elise, or are they off the shelf units? Any advice will me much appreciated. Thanks Ian

Anyone here use them and have an oppinion? It looks like a choice of the Road Angel or Snooper S6R. The Snooper does more, costs more, looks more usable and seems smaller - cant find any press reviews of it though. Road Angel seems to have more heritage and a good press, with the option of lifetime updates, but looks like quite a big lump to sit on the dash! Or is it all a waste of money?

Being an all round good bloke with a GF who is as car mad as me I bought her a Ferrari experience from passport2sport.co.uk for her birthday. Its called the 'Ferrari double' and basically you get a few laps in a 355, then some other stuff and a few laps in a 360. She loves them, and I can't afford to change a cambelt on one let alone the HP payments so it sounded like a good idea. Bare in mind for the next bit that my GF is *really* into cars. So, phone up to book and they now stumble around a bit when I ask them to confirm it is a 355 AND a 360. Look at the website - its changed and the 360 bit has been deleted and it's now 2 sessions in a 355 (not bad admit…

...one fantastically improved Elise Bought 4 new Toyos from Mr Tim Stevens and took them down Mike and his good people at Horizon Motorsport for a full Geo check and alignment. First bend -slowly - and the difference was immediately noticable. My vocabulary isn't big enough to explain how much better it feels Next bend a bit quicker and...well...its just feels more "neutral" - I always felt that it understeered too early, and the front was too light, but wondered if it was me being crap Tyres still need to scrub off the shine, but its soooo much better to throw around now...just feels, well, "right" ! Talking to Mike, he said that it was quite far out - th…

Right. I'm not sure whether to go all out and get Nitrons, or buy S2 suspension and spend the rest on bits? eg Maxogen etc. Thing is I don't want to buy S2 suspension and then wish I'd got Nitrons Also dont want to get Nitrons and then wish I'd could have used the money to buy Susp and more bits! What would you do?
