One very happy new Elise owner!
Discussion
Hello all
Just purchased my first Elise and can't stop smiling! Even to the point that I have trained one of our cameras at work to view it whilst I sit at my desk.
Couple of things, I think it has a standard exhaust so I want to fit a sports one. What is the general concensus on the best one, also which induction kit?
And finally I fancy an open face helmet for track days (like Steve McQueen, not too sad!) Are there any restrictions on these on the L-O-T days.
Cheers

Nice one - exhaust options? It's so subjective mate, everyone loves their own. If you can try to hear some clips, or come up to Brands Hatch on Monday night for this...

...and see and hear loads of Lotus' with plenty of different options.
Re: Helmet - be careful with open-faced ones, some places won't let you out with the roof off unless you have a closed-face one.

Congrats on the new Liz! Induction-wise, the Hurricane one from EliseParts is very popular - ~£170, as is the excellent and significantly cheaper Piooly Lotus Additions Induction kit on ebay - ~£65 although I'm not sure this is available at the moment.

Exhuast-wise, popular choices are: The EliseParts one for £440 which is supposed to sound excellent if very loud!
There's a Hong-Kong ebay one too which allegedly sounds like a Saturn 5 rocket.
The new Janspeed ones - ~£360 get good reviews too, as do the very popular Larini exhausts - ~£360.
I'm in the market for an exhuast too next month so i'll be interested to hear what you get - post some sound clips if you can.

I've bought a S2 111S after much deliberation including a test drive in Tim's 160s (S WORKS). I think the BBQ at Brands is a definite, bloody shame the track day is booked up though!
I heard that S WORKS about the open face helmet as well, think I'll go and get a full face one instead this weekend.
Cheers for the info on exhaust and induction kits lads.

Welcome! What didn't you like about the 160? One drive in that and I'd have been smitten. Still, I am prejudiced...
p.s. Is your username related to the team you support? If so......
S WORKS told me after the drive that he had someone else looking at it in a couple of hours. That old chestnut I thought, well he did and they bought it!
Still one good bit of luck apperently, driving it home last night and my wife asked when I got home what was on my shoulder, yep bird crap from having the roof off...sure it is a good omen
