Hi Fellas,

I removed the front of the car to replace the radiator and the suspension is completely shot!

I know that 'Google is my friend'; but i just wanted to ask you guys if you could recommended somewhere other than Elise Parts to source a full set of wishbones for an S1 Elise,

Hi Mart,

Thanks so much for the link mate! You've saved the day!

Still trying the photography, hoping to be as good as you one day!

Thanks again,

Hi Chaps,

Hope all is well in blighty,

Sadly Hong Kong's heat and humidity had loosened the adhesive on the grill on the engine cover and following some high speed cruising it blew off - and was gone for ever,

That was 6 months ago and the car looks really tatty without it,

I keep trawling ebay ...

Hi Fellas,

Car is settling very nice in it's new home in Hong Kong ( HERE are a few club snaps for anyone interested)

Engine has a had an overhaul (and eliseparts exhaust fitted :bravo ), just working on the suspension now and getting some new tyres fitted,

The interior is looking really tatty so ...

Thanks everyone!

Got the kit for 185 with the water pump... and I bought the exhaust too!

Garage want 150 to do the work so using my man maths i'm getting a free exhaust for the price of a C service in England!

BUMP

Does anyone know if my non-VVC s1 Elise has an automatic belt tensioner or not?!

Thanks mate - think i'll go for it!

Actually the con of running a lotus in Hong Kong is the issue with parts supply...

...the pro is 10 quid an hour labour!

My smoked indicators took 3/4 hour to fit... so that garage charged me 7 quid!

Apologies for my hatrick with new threads today - i'm just trying to get my car sorted out!

Has anyone else experience with the elise parts exhaust?!

Already tempted to get an exhaust for it!

Does anyone know if my 2000 S1 non-VVC Elise has an automatic belt tensioner or not?!

Thanks,

Sorry; me again!

I need to get the car 'C' serviced in Hong Kong,

My mechanic will do it, but i need to provide the parts - can anyone recommend a place where I can buy the full C service kit? (including water pump)

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Guys,

Considering i'm a non-paid up member etc. I hope you don't mind me posting here,

Anyway, had a drive out with the car on Sunday and it appears that there is an issue with the nearside/ passenger side brakelight - it won't light up when braking,

Both tail lights illuminate when the lights ...

Thanks Fellas!n

They've just arrived so i'll be on it tonight!

Gonna take it steady so should have it done in 10 minutes by the sounds of things!

Al - thanks! Will happily stick up some photos nearer the time!

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

Firstly thanks for the advice with the engine issue I had with importing the car to Hong Kong,

After 6 months of waiting, rigmarole and bureaucracy the car was approved on Friday so I had a top weekend bombing around in it (not driven it for 5 years!), :woo

Hi Chaps,

Gonna be in the UK for 3 weeks from Saturday and I was just wondering if there are any car shows worth visiting over the festive season?

Google has not been my friend,

Thanks,

Ben

Merry Christmas!

They're so annoyingly bureaucratic over here that when i first applied to bring it over I had to provide a bank statement from 2005 (along with countless other things) that had the same address on as the car's V5. I had the finance agreement, all insurance certificates and correspondence, utility ...
