Edwards painted mine about four years ago and i was very happy with it, although i have heard they haven't done such a nice job for other people

I went along but had to leave early which was a shame. The yellow Elite must have got there after I left, which is a shame

We loved meeting you two! Come and say hello next time you are in England 🙂

Good spot, thanks for posting!

Mine behaved a bit like that when the alternator packed in and the battery was running down I ought to add, when it did it I rang Gav at Unit 4 Vehicle Services and he immediately diagnosed it over the phone. He was immediate and unequivocal, and correct! If it were me I'd take it to Gav, especially if it's about due a service anyway - get it all done. He isn't dear.

I had Nitron Street Series and never liked them. The car always rode badly on them, although in fairness the rest of the suspension needed a refresh. Now I have Nitron NTRs which are much better, but if I wasn't doing the odd track day I would probably have gone for new oem Bilsteins because the springs on the Nitrons are a lot stiffer and it does affect the ride. You are welcome to have a drive in mine to get an idea. Pm me.

I have the Eliseparts bushes and they are great. Gav at Unit 4 Vehicle Services who looks after my car recommended them, and he has experience of most.

Will love watching this progress! Please keep posting Nick By the way I would go oem bushes unless you are racing.

Well done Jody mate, you're a legend! Looks fantastic. I take my hat off to you, there's no way I could have done that, I couldn't even get the clam off! Looking forward to a ride in it when we're allowed.

That's a tremendous elise, well picked! Welcome to MLOC 🙂

I would say get a specialist to look at it first (I use Gav at Unit 4 but PJS are also very good). They will tell you if any bushes and/or balljoints are knackered, plus your steering rack as they can knock. If any of those are faulty then replacing them will make the car less clonky/bangy. New dampers might make a bit of difference but beware things like Nitrons have MUCH stiffer springs and make the car overall much harsher. They are great on track, obvs, and good on smooth roads and if you are driving really fast but on bumpy roads, in the wet, when you are driving slowly and sensibly,

Looks mega Phil
