Lotus Elise Club Racer

Headlight technology has come on a lot, even the Porsche Litronics (xenons) are not great - 2002 car.

Replace the bulbs with the Osram new replacements. Makes a big difference- especially if they are still in the original bulbs. They get shitter with age.

Yep my new old xenons are way better than any new LEDs I’ve come across apart from the smart ones which are on full beam the whole time.

Been offered a set of these for ridonculously cheap.

I have accepted said offer. Downside is they need a refurb so theyll need to go to bilstein before i fit them.

Have also ordered a set of these.

I didn’t think they were road legal? Some of the competition boys swore by them..

They look like they are almost on the markers already

How cheap?

I did the same with my nitrons, and ended up hundreds of pounds down compared to getting a good set..

From the bilstein website

As a guide rebuilds start from £80 + VAT per unit, £100 + VAT for a sport unit. In many cases its more cost effective to simply replace with new, especially if additional components are required.

[Beany]

That is still intensely bargain-tastic!

In other news ive ordered the TRD airbox. No claimed power increase but more roar and yowl.

I like the lime green Club Racer S which Will Blackham is currently selling. Wrong wheels, but that wouldn't put me off.

That does look good. Like a metallic version of isotope.

Wheels are acceptable.

[Rich B]

I really like these CRs, your blue one is particularly "right".

though wtf have they got a big plastic engine cover?! Is it serving a function like keeping water out?!

Was for sale for less on SELOC a week before he bought it.

The forged wheels were a £1200 option. That is also a particularly rare car. Only 7 of the "comfort" model were made. I dont like the interior on that green one - but its probably right up your street

Exactly that. The water runs off round it rather than directly on to the injectors.
