Hi All. Been on the site for a while now, just updated my profile as it was about 4 years out of date and thought I'd should really say hello.

My current cars are a 205 gti6 track car and a Honda Elise. Was going to put a picture up in the blinged up Elise thread but thought I'd let you make your own mind up.

Its blingy bits are Burnt Orange paint, custom matching Lotus interior, 2way Nitrons and Rota's which are being replaced with black ones with R888's. Oh and of course a 227 bhp Honda engine.

It does look a bit blingy in the 4th pic, the rest look fine though.

Looks fantastic, I'm so tempted by something like that Elise to replace my Exige as the roof off motoring is really appealing to me now smile

Out of interest how much does a decent S1 NA Honda go for?

Without wishing to be rude to the OP.
I can't understand why you would use a Pug as a track car and (by inference) keep the Elise for the road. If you only use the Elise on the road you'll never feel the benefit of the 888s and certainly feel their downsides in standing water and cold weather.
I'd wager most use the their Elise/Exige as a road/track or dedicated track car and have a second car of some sort - either a cheap banger or something a bit better, depending on funds/co car.
Lovely looking car though - just don't bother with 888s for the road.thumbup

Have an other road car just didnt think anyone would be interested in a 1.6 zetec focus. The 205 is my speed sunday car. Have a look on youtube and you will see why I cant take the lotus on. The lotus is my sunny day/ trackday car so R888's should be fine. Had A048's on my Exige and even these where fine in the wet if you didnt drive like a looney
