After reading a few of your articles, I think you are the guys I need to be talking to, not the dealers trying to off load their junk!!!
I have recently purchased a standard S2 with a noisey exhaust, its a wicked little car however 3 weeks down the line I have decided that I would like a little more straight line grunt.
The car handles like a dream but I was I little upset to see my car only marginally pulling away from a 4 Motion Golf from 80mph. The car feels at high revs as if it's being strangled, would a performance air filter assist ?
Does anyone know of any decent mods that will not affect my mortgage!

One northern boy 2 another,
Cheers for the tip, I was looking firstly at the bolt on options so that at least my re-sale value doesn't drop as much. What difference does the ITG filter do? is it worth the £350?
Redline should be my middle name, I'm not into doodling around at low rev's! as recent blast with an XK8 driver?
I just need that bit more G force..

Thanks chaps for the tips keep them coming..
What's this i told you so? I hope I haven't started something!
In defence the Elise is a quick car considering it takes anything with 200bhp+ to keep up with it (motorway driving) Around the twisty stuff, you might as well stick to cruising around your local McDonalds carpark....
What other car handles like it has just come out of the Tron movie....

I gather some of you have chatted before !
CTR in my opinion is the best of the hot hatches available. I am lucky enough to test drive different cars as part of my job. My recent experience at Oulton Park, driving the full Honda (sport) range from CTR to the Jumbo NSX. Out of the bunch the CTR was superior marginally over the S2000.(wet conditions)
However picking a car, for me, is a very personnel thing. I have worked hard to eventually purchase my dream car, yes not the fastest in a straight line(but certainly not slow)and on bends its awesome. I have had in the past my fair share of front wheel drive hot hatches, but my love for a car built around practicality but with a stonking engine is no longer for me. Plus they always seem to attract the local theives !! but thats just my view.
As I am an owner of a standard Elise with the only eng mod being a sports exhaust what will I need to do to push the car to acheive between 135 - 140bhp. Your tips have been great but expensive, more funds could sway me but a £5000 layout before the festive period would leave me a lonely man !
