Running costs can be light if you want them to be. I'm only partly into my 3rd set of discs at 92k, I'm on my 3rd set of front pads, and still on the original rears. That's including changing when not due from upgrading, and all the track use too. Brake less ;) Mark

Didn't come out apparently. The camera shifted and got a 1:04 close up of your right arm.

Hi Matt Welcome to the forum. Right, fuel tank is 50 litres. Most manage to get 35-40mpg out of them. Some as low as late twenties (lots of town driving) and some as high as mid forties (lots of long trips and motorway use). There are points to note aplenty - someone should be able to...

I'd like to watch you park after doing that.

Absolutely not. I bought it because I had a trackday voucher, and Evo said of their long-term Cup, "it can be driven home afterwards with no signs of abuse".

The best colour Mk1 by far.

Shame to see another one go. Nice replacement though.

Yes and yes.

Hooligan.

Why's that?

Tucks grew some balls at the end of the day and took it round for a gentle spanking. Amazingly, no spannering needed afterwards.

I went out with him - it didn't really feel that quick, but he certainly wasn't afraid of it - and the stopwatch doesn't lie. Mad - and all with only 73bhp too.

Split the sidewall apart, 3 inch gash.

This one? Had a bit of a blow-out. Great pic Chris by the way. Did you ask them all to look down at the exact same time?

I cannot find the words to describe how vile that is.

I chased one around Goodwood. He had me on the straights and I had nothing on him in the corners, but we was very weak on the brakes. Video here... Properly driven Elises, regardless of engine size, I have huge trouble keeping up with on track.

Fantastic pics Chris - the detail you capture at distance when at speed is incredible. I'm liking that cone pic (stupid face aside). Is my front wheel off the deck? Looks like it to me.

The Recaros in the R27 are great on track...would be even better if I was fatter though.

Nice pics Day, nice to see the exotica out there.

You've read my mind. Not really planning on modding the Omega in any way at all...it's just a free hack to keep the miles off my Cup which is very old now, almost on 92k. Can anyone say if swapping to a manual box is easy, difficult, or impossible?

Not sure why that's not working. Mine's always picked up the exhaust quite clearly.

Ha ha ha...I'm getting all that crap out first! My old man was a heavy smoker too, and the whole interior is one big ashtray :dead: Needs a proper valet inside and out.

Will be insured in two weeks time :approve: Mods planned so far by me are; 1. Clean it What else should/could I do? Oh yeah, trailer not included LOL Best thing about it is I can practice my left foot braking without having to worry about a clutch.

I've never topped mine out. Seen 125mph a few times on track though. 100 comes up in about 16 seconds, and 60 in about 6.

Used mine at Goodwood recently - and it absolutely poured down all day long. Then there was the original snowed off day at Oulton, and the wet RS day at Brands in May... I'm having a bad year weather wise!

Great stuff Chris. Gutted my day there in February was snowed off - probably won't get another chance to come up now this year.

Nice Ady.

That car, in that colour...stunning. So rarely seen. Very nice.

The bits that should be holding the air in...aren't. It's only the rubber left doing the job, and you could mark that with your fingernail - on the road, it's only a matter of time before it goes. Sods law says it would be on a 70mph left-hander in the damp. Get it changed, as soon as...

Good work.
