My friend told me the other day that he saw a Lotus Evora like mines in a Rated-X video.

I am working on repairing a front clam off a 2006 Elise. The damage is to the passanger side corner and it seems pretty reasonably repairable. In evaluating the damage , I discovered that the headlight bucket is a seperate piece bonded to clam. It is damaged and although repairable, I feel i can remove it and replace it with a whole one if I can find one. So the question is does anyone have a passanger side corner laying around that I can scavage the headlight bucket out of. Is so let me know, I will post the process of taking this apart and rebonding it so others can benifit

Hi all, Just pulled the drivers side gas tank and am pulling the passengers tomorrow, engine and trans are coming out also. This leads me to wonder what should i do before i put it all back together? I will be installing new bigger snap ring on trans, change timing belt and tensioner, install ac compressor (po took it off for some reason), and change water pump. Is there any thing else that i haven't thought of? Have not been able to drive this thing since i got it back in january i really don't want to miss something and regret it later. Thanks for any input. Wyatt

Hi, I have noted all the great advice as to upgrading the base stereo in the elise, and I'm keen to do so, but there's no way I'm tackling this myself. Sourcing the right hardware will be easy enough with the pointers from the posts,...
Hi, I have noted all the great advice as to upgrading the base stereo in the elise, and I'm keen to do so, but there's no way I'm tackling this myself. Sourcing the right hardware will be easy enough with the pointers from the posts, but finding someone I trust to tear apart my car and do everything right the first time is another issue altogether, especially here in the Great White North where these cars are particularly uncommon and unfamiliar. Any Canadians out there following the forum in the GTA who can recommend a car audio install business who will have some experience with the Elise? My local lotus dealer can't point me to anybody.

Hello, longtime follower of the forum, finally joined. Have an '07 elise, live in Canada and can't find a way to mount a plow on the front. Kidding about the plow.

I am sure this has been beat to death but I can't find a thread after searching for some time. I mounted my EZ pass on my windshield until I saw how awful it looked from the outside. I noticed that the front "hood" is fiberglass and so I mounted it on the underside of that. Should be clear from getting we there but does anyone know if it will read from there? I have seen bike guys mount theirs under the fairing for their bikes (sometimes behind two layers of fiberglass and some leather) but want to make sure before I get screwed at the toill booth and have to get out to pop the hood and get my pass :( Cheers.

I just installed a set of Ohlins from BWR a couple of weeks ago with LSS springs set up for SCCA SS class. Ride Height is set back to stock, all camber shims removed except the ABS mount, wheels are stock LSS with Hoosier 245/40/17. The inside of the tire is very close (within 1/4") to the banjo bolt at the top of the shock. Has anyone experienced this? What was your fix if any? Should I run a spacer, or add some shims back in? Does it rub, if it does, does it rub enough to cause problems?
