Lost Elise Post

[andyb28]

There was a post recently which was about a guy that had just purchased an Elise and was fixing it up.

He said his Dad had come round and helped him to clean it.

For the life of me, I can not find it.
Does anyone know the title of the thread please?

Have you looked through Readers Cars?

[andyb28]

I hadnt checked there, but there is a post by _Marvin

But I was sure the one I saw was an S2 post, where as Marvins one is an S1.

Thought I recognised the thread you were looking for, only read through it on Tuesday.

- actually the above is _Marvins, is this the right one?:

'Lotus Elise S2 - Fast Road/Track Project': https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing//topic.asp?h=0...

It contains (in no particular order):

- MOT failure S2 in Black
- one keen father
- failed master cylinder
- Nitrons

Ahh, thank you very much, it was the post by Darryl H.
Obviously an older thread, but with some recent posts on it got it to the top.

I am seriously considering a new toy and the S2 is something I have always fancied. So these type of posts are of particular interest at the moment.

I detect a *lot* of window shopping going on at the moment!

On the Toyota side I've got a couple of threads:

Elise 111R: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Exige S: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

May or may not be of interest. Elise one reached its conclusion and Exige one is still very much in progress...

Always interesting to read about people's ownership experiences, thanks for the links.

[andyb28]

Yes, I agree.

It's great to see what others have needed to do with their cars.
I have learnt a lot recently by reading these posts.

Last night it finally clicked what the difference between a 111S and 111R with the Rover / Toyota engines
