Hello folks I got a picture today from an excited Stephanie, Gary kindly dedicated his weekend to making our Blipi safe. Top bloke IMO!



Just nice for the big trip....

Coz they are those ones...

It's really good to have to help, advice and support like this on PH. Big thanks also have to go out to my fellow Elan owners who have researched into up grades such as these Wilwoods and put together kits and instructions for other members at a good price.

I have also just heard little Tivi start up and boy does she sound goooood! You'll be seeing her on my return from my week's holiday in Scotland. That's if I don't 'get lost' on some of the wonderful roads up there..

Thanks for your thread of thanks to Gary. He really is a top guy who really went well beyond what most people would do with metaculous detail. Cheers doode!

Uprated brakes are a good idea but maybe having some tread on your tyres may help too?

Can't echo this enough... the kit of bits that Blipi sourced was of an extremely high quality and practically fell on the car despite the 16 year age of the donor. Not a 'bolt-on' from a commercial supplier (nice as though the M100 Elan is, it's not a mass market tool), but was the product of extensive research, speccing and procurement by dedicated enthusiasts who went well beyond ant reasonable call of duty in their attention to detail... just wish this level of support was available in the Tiv fraternity. A pleasure to do for any spanner jockey
