    Chrome Lotus Elise

    New 2bular 4-2-1 N/A Header!   
Had another look at the original design and made a few improvements. Image: http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/JimmyV3/2bular%20exhausts/148.jpg   Image: http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/JimmyV3/2bular%20exhausts/149.jpg   Image: http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/JimmyV3/2bular%20exhausts/153.jpg   This is an all-Stainless header. I've paid attention to clearances around the trunk area and there's maximum clearance at driveshaft and alternator.     
    Why "Lotus" original name?   
*_PLEASE_*, why "*Lotus*" original name?  I know Chapman letters "ACBC". But why "Lotus" name?  It is very simple for fans. I fins this info.  *THANKS!*     
    Tony's Elise V2   
First off I want to thank all of my friends and all of the members here on LT. There would have been no way I could have undertook this entire process without the assistance and advice of you guys. You all are amazing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The last several months have been stressful. Countless 4am nights and this last night I did not sleep at all, but finally I was able to drive my Elise again this morning, and she'll be completely back to 100% by this Friday :D  For those of you that don't know, my Elise was damaged by a tire shop about 4 months ago.     
    At it again. TheChazz Winter thread   
Time for the winter tear-down! Have had a few small and major issues come up I want to fix as well and cleaning up some of the wear and tear. Also lots of preventive maintenance and ease-of-use mods!  The Preliminary MUST list: New SSC Shifter and Gate Cables ($750 OUCH) BOE's Aluminum Radiator $450ish? "TheChazz" V2 Front Splitter (I will be making during this thread) Fix a small leak in the exhaust (Wrong size clamp) All new brake pads all around New rear brake rotors Have brake Calipers cleaned, honed, shot peend, and powdercoated (Gloss Gunmetal maybe?) Fix a small crack in the bottom of the front clam Touch up paint Replace Front and side rocker panel paint protection.     
    Tinted the Elise   
Received the car back from my tint guy.  I told him to have fun with the back window.  I have to say he has some mad skills.  And yes, you can actually see through the entire image.  Might be a bit garish for some, but I think it looks pretty good.  Corvus     
    My custom steering wheel   
So I had my steering wheel re-wrapped in alcantara with orange stitching.  I had Redline goods do it.  (I had gotten alcantara shift and e-brake boots from them and decided to have them do my steering wheel to match.)  I love it, it came out great!
