Haha yeah you'd think, but with 134hp it's not always the rears. Those front tyres are skinny on the Elise, unlike yours. I have a short commute, so the tyres only just have time to get some temperature. Having to brake sharply or swerve in the first half of the journey when cold/wet always breaks traction. Had someone pull out in front of me twice now and was a bit hairy (I was doing about 20mph both times!). Confident in judging what grip is there and I've been through all sorts of snow etc., but being able to react to the local morons is the main concern.

It was on the car when we had it 8 years ago, Never really took any notice of it.

If you find stopping at 20mph "hairy" in an Elise weighing around 900kgs, you either shouldnt be driving or theres something wrong with your car.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I had to slam on the brakes with very cold tyres and a greasy road. The point is the tyres don't work well in those conditions, noticeably more so than in my other car. That's all. I can tell you I'm handing back my license if it makes you feel better sweetheart.

I too make wild assumptions based on a couple of lines of text.

Just because I love it

 

[Rybo89]

Does your boyfriend love it to?

 

[Tom|Nbk]

I don't know what you're talking about

Is there any way you can change those orange indicators to clear? Is it a common modification or would it look weird?

It's just a case of buying the facelift lights. Easy,

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Would look fine but cba with the expense!

After a good clean today. I now know why there are so many potholes around, all the tar was stuck to the side of my car

 

[Rybo89]

Looks good mate! Hate the plate though!

 

[Clarkey]

Is it just me or does it look a bit strange lowered that much?

If you're saying that, it *must* be too low.


But no, it looks too low, and the rear plate is silly and should be the correct size.

2.7 or 3.2?

Don't think its actually that low, my old car was a similar ride height, I didn't have that OTT front splitter on mine though which changes the look a bit
