Re: Lotus Elise Club Racer
With the BHP per ton you have, I bet yer nan could get a lap time like that. Pootle round the corners, shoot down the straights

I meant the car market generally - never really any concern over Lotus prices, they've always been solid.scotta wrote: Wed Mar 10, 2021 11:47 pmElise going out of production - all Final Edition cars sold out.

At least thats my hope. Car prices are nuts at the moment.
Re: Lotus Elise Club Racer
Minor update
Picked up a set of Yokohama AO52's on Saturday - need to get those fitted this week. Also emailed the insurance last week to check about fitting the dampers. "No charge - let me know when youve fitted them" outstanding service again from Manning UK.
Packaged the dampers up yesterday so ill get them sent to Bilstein this week for the refurb.
Had a run out on saturday night with the old one!

You should buy it Scott. Be lighter and more raw than your modern, softy ClubRacer 
Re: Lotus Elise Club Racer
Isn’t that the Loltus ethos?
Add lightness
Add air con?

It's fine, air doesn't weigh much.
