Hello all
I have just taken delivery of an S2 Elise, having part-exd an MG TF (got tired of the hairdresser jokes). Can't believe the difference in handling and performance, considering that the TF's 1.8 engine is virtually the same as the Elise!
Although there's pently of room for me in the car (I am 6ft 2") the steering wheel and gear stick get in the way a bit - can anyone recommend a good place to get a short gear stick and a smaller (preferably removable) steering wheel fitted?
Cheers.

It's a pretty easy job to do yourself. Eliseparts (www.eliseparts.com) do a removeable steering wheel kit that lets you fit a smaller wheel and they also do a quick-shift gear stick that is a bit shorter and has a better action. I'm 6ft 5 and fit just fine with the new gear stick and a 300mm wheel.
