shes home!

[bigsi]

well here she is safe and sound at home!

called her grace my fav name.

drives nicely, needs a bit of tinkering, timing sounds out and pops a bit, also 2nd is occasionally hard to get into and crunches on the odd occasion when selecting but its ok, woman loves it too!!

i managed to get in and drive her home no problems, i will lower the seat until i get some exige seats and skew the pedals slightly, but thats it, a few spider cracks to sort out and some paint to get sparyed but shes all good, fitted with eagles too!

heres the first of many pics!

Nice Ferrari mate

Sorry I thought I'd be the first one to say it, it won't be the last

Looks like real beaut', so we'll see you at Hethel then!

[lotusdogg]

That's really nice.

I generally don't care for the red/tan thing but with the black wheels and louvers....man oh man!

All the best with her,

Timothy

Nice one!

2nd - try shifting at lower revs? Mine will crunch a bit sometimes if I shift above about 4k - 2nd gear Synchro is on it's way out

Glad you've finally got it

Try checking on Pistonheads or SELOC (tho watch what you say there - theyre horrible!) as there are loads of Elise (etc) owners on those sites - you may be lucky enough to find some second hand or at least a good cheap supplier?

Welcome to teh club - your bank manager will now hate you!

Graham.

yes its the one from norwich, many thanks to kieth barnes for the check over. yes shes ok gonna start on her tomorrow, lower seats, clean and compound etc....

gotta sort the timing out as she misfires a bit and theres a strange noize from the exhuast , a bit like the same noize an old petrol lawnmower makes, dissapears when i put my foot down (any ideas??)

i will record it and put it up on my site for you to hear.

looking forward to working on her over the winter. let the fun begin eh!!

Paint looks superb . Like the blacked in BBS alloys too.

[WayneB]

Car looks Fab U Loss

Glad to see you bought a Giugiaro Esprit B)

[USAndretti42]

Glad you can fit in the car, Simon. It looks really good. I hope it's not like Grace from Big Brother. That is to say looks pretty good but behaves badly.

[Simon350S]

Congrats Simon

Hope you have many happy miles in her!!
