shiny new toy

[swilding]

well i picked my exige up from nick whale today. had a great time piling the miles on so that i can get to some performance. stage 2 ex and itg make it sound great. absolutely no regrets trading in the m3.

pics to follow when i've stopped driving long enough!

Yeay!! Nice one Simon

Still wanna be out in my new toy - but must employ some restraint while local roads are covered in ice! (...and I mean that from a 5 past midnight perspective!)

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Get some piccy's up

Cheers!

Cheers Bogie - don't worry fella, have been drivin miss daisy for sure

Oddly enough, in any new Elise buyers 'sideways look' guide, buying in winter has to be a recommendation... less seasonal influence and the current conditions lend themselves to running-in proceedure rather well

So are you out in the Hondus or the Sagaris at the mo..? (choices, choices eh?)

...my Elise is in Sinclaires until Saturday...the Sag is technically my other halfs so I only get drive it at weekends/when she needs a car with 4 seats...like my Audi...which im in at the mo as I travel a lot during the week and dont like leaving the Elise at the airports all the time/cant fit all my kit in .

So im looking forward to the weekend - we usually go for a long run out to visit friends and always take both cars (saves arguments) then swap over cars on the return journey...lets hope its nice weather at the weekend

Simon what is teh setup you have on teh exhaust? You refer to ITG and Stage 2, what specifically have you changed or are using? The reason I ask is that I am trying to determine what I should fit to my catr but there is not much information about.

gary,

nothing to tell really. i negoiated that the dealer fitted a stage 2 exhaust and an itg induction kit to the exige from new. standard stuff i found very dissapointing and so worth doing in my opinion. dealer made me aware that a stage 2 exhaust is too load for some circuits, but as i don't plan on doing any trackdays is no problem.

cheers,

si

ps. the sqeeks from the roof are driving me crazy! i think i'll take it off tonight and silcon all the rubbers. that worked on my elise s2.
