Epic!

Il post some pics up when we get our first one in, not my cup of tea

If it helps this is a standard 170 Passat.

glad it is finally sorted mate, get in touch if you need anything else :)

So true Roy, but the comparison was bound to happen on here lol.

Yup - I had my 172 for 5 years and over 50,000 miles, went from standard to 193 bhp on itb's and it was amazing fun - but the Elise really up's the fun factor many times over. Bear in mind im still far from knowing how to drive it properly - Its good learning as you go sort of thing

Caught a bit of wheel spin when I started mate, so the speedo jumped a little :) VX is a great car, even better when you stick some 16's on the front instead of the 17s as standard so iv been told EDIT- I did consider a VX when I was looking, but the S1 is one of my dream cars, and although...

S1 are approc 730 matey, S2's are low 900's due to the extra bits and pieces they have like air con, more speakers, a brake servo lol, heaver clams etc etc. Bear in mind though the early S2's had the same engine as mine (Well with 2 more bhp) but the later ones had decent power, and the Toyota...

Ding that man, spot on fella

I do as it felt like part of me I had it so long mate lol. I also miss the way the 172 would let you do pretty much anything and still keep ypu on the road, but I dont regret sellign as the Elise is just on another level :) Approx 730kgs mate

Oh and just to clarify, the speedo is pretty much 100% accurate, worked out via RPM per mph

0-60 is high 5's and the ton is anywhere between 16-18 secs, so yes once rolling (read above 80) a 172 would be about the same - but then what do you expect it has 120 bhp lol. It is fantastic on track, but even more so on A and B roads - it just soaks up the bumps - love it. With regards to...

?

Angle grinder - job done :D

Love mine topless :D Looks like you had fun justin :)

cheers guys :)

Not too bad for 120bhp I don't think :o Modifications are B&C rear exhaust box and a K&N

Yarp Dan lol. Looking at booking my next track day now....

meh it will do. (Not jelous at all me lol)

Me too mate, il let you know when - see if you can come along, id like to give the elise a run against yours :D Oh, got some cutting compound out at lunch and all the scratches have gone :)

which looked very tidy!

cheers matey, its been ages - we need a catch up! You back on the boat this summer? When can I see your car? Drop me a PM/text :D

lol hai!

Ah no worries :)

Great pics :) Dont suppose you have any of my elise?

Iv been told that the 99-2000 Elises were a miss match of parts, some have the AWI's, some have the 12 spokes, some had steel uprights and some had ally - mine have the earlier AWI alloys but later Steel uprights - good old Lotus lol

roll on my next one :D

Well I was touching about 117mph up avon rise in the Elise, compared to 129mph in the Clio, but the average lap time was the same, so shows how much quicker the Elise is through the bends - more specifically exiting the bends - you can get on the power and come out a lot quicker than you expect...

I didnt spot ya mate id have come said hi (After we had got off the track lol) How come you didnt come catch me!
