Stock speedo/tach Lss ECU with recent CharlieX NA tune More to come...:clap:

Anyone know if there are any Canadian suppliers for these tires? As close to the east coast as possible! My scenario is this... I work for Michelin and I get a free set of Michelin/BFG a year. I'd love to run a Michelin or BF except they barely make any competition tires that fit! So if anyone needs a set of 40" Krawlers let me know and we can work something out! :p

Well guys, I am going to step away from the car scene for a bit. My grandfather is likely not gonna make it through the weekend and it's gonna be a tough couple weeks coming up. He has had lung cancer (asbestos related) for about 6 months now and it's taken a heavy toll. It really sucks because I was very close with my grandpa. My grandparents basically raised me until I had moved to Chicago. I'll be spending some time up in Michigan with family until my grandmother can handle everything on her own. Unfortunately, this means that I probably won't have the time to fix my rear window or even install my supercharger any time soon. So, I've just decided to park my Elise under the car cover for a while. With all that being said, for those of you local guys, I'll pass on the trophy to whoever wants to hold onto it. I won't be around to defend my back-to-back wins ;) Hopefully I'll be back in action later this summer. -Chris

Looking for a black Lotus Cup Wheel with five spokes. Any leads would be greatly appreciated, need one ASAP.

CCW LM16 forged wheels. Custom Lotus sizing. 3 piece forged with ARP hardware Shotpeened black centers and black brushed anodized lips Front 16x7 +24mm 16.9lb Rear 17x8 +31mm 18.8lb Used for literally 500 miles. I removed them because I decided I wanted to go back to silver wheels and had a new set of CCWs built. Mint condition. Lotus stickers can be removed from caps if you prefer the CCW engraved logo. Packed and ready to ship. $2900 set of custom wheels, looking for $2000 and we split the shipping cost. Located in Tampa FL.

Just wanted to post some pictures of my new Ethos track wheels, 15x7 and 16x8. My black base wheels have an orange ring on them which the previous owner had painted on. I really like the look and wanted the same for the Ethos. The local shop did a great job on the wheels; the owner happens to have an Exige. It ended up being more work than I would have expected. They stripped the original black off the Ethos then powdercoated a flatter black paint and orange ring. I also capped the 4 unused bolt holes with black caps so you don't see the rusty rotor. FYI, if you want to put center caps on the Ethos wheels, the rear caps need to be the tall style to clear the axle, the front can be the short style.

1. Sector 111 Unused and unassembled and ultralines full kit. I got a great deal on it but decided not tu use it. 499$ retail. Why did I not use it? I just dont like the looks of the gates style hose clamps. Sector publishes a bunch of proof testing showing they work fine but I am a wierdo. Also, since I bought the kit "used" they dont want to send me the instructions, which irritated me a bit. Worst case it is at least $350+ in aereoquip starlite hose. $200 plus shipping 2. 30 feet of Aeroquip FC598 socketless hose AN10 hose. It is brand new, a single piece, and recently purchased. I paid 163$ from BAT/mocal. $100 plus shipping 3. Lotus OEM fitted indoor cover. The bag says Lotus and I have a dealer invoice for $380. I got it from the previous owner who said he used it once. I have nevver taken it out of the bag. $225 plus shipping. 4. I have 2 OEM Battery covers/boxes. $30 plus shipping. I may decide to hold on to one of them. I can post a few pictures tonight.

My auxiliary cord has never worked, so I took my car into the dealer and they tested with everything that could and found that the female audio plug only works with an ipod and a Y-shaped ipod attachment cord. This can't possibly be true, can it? That headunit only works with an iPod? The female jack looks like any standard audio plug I have ever connected a phone to.

I was going to post this in the electrical forum but figured more people would see it here. I want to have my HU, amp and speakers swapped out, does anyone have a good installer in the midwest? Looks like the job is out of my comfort zone and there aren't a any high end installers in my area that I know of. Would I be better off having my dealer do it?

I have a wrecked front clam that has minor damage to the shell. However the passenger headlight bucket that is bonded to the underside of the shell is damaged and broken free. If I could find a front passenger corner of a damaged clam, I believe I could swap it out. Anybody have half a clam laying around to help a guy out.
