    Gas Pedal Pad Mod   
I installed Ultimate Pedal's HNT gas pedal pad today. At $58 it's pricey for a bent hunk of aluminum with some holes drilled in it, but since I no longer have access to a machine shop I parted with the $58 to save time.

    Anyone wear ear plugs while driving?   
My 2008 Elise SC has a sector III Larini Clubsport muffler.  I find myself using ear plugs for any drive over 15 minutes.  I find it too loud and want to protect my hearing.  Funny thing though, I turn up the radio and can hear it pretty good.   I do a lot of motorcycle riding and always wear plugs.  The Elise does have a Yamaha designed top end, doeen't it.   Anyone else have to resort to wearing ear plugs while driving their Lotus?

    Cool Elise Video   
With some great footage.  Not sure about softening up the car to turn it into a drift machine though.  Tim Schrick and Sven Kueenle "enjoying the limits" - YouTube

    Kid questions about the Evora   
Hi, I have a six year old and a nine year old, so part of the appeal for the Evora 2+2  is the prospect of having my entire family enjoy a super cool ride. Does the passenger air bag have a weight sensor. Also do kids actually fit in back seats. If so what do you think the upward limit would be.  Thanks Mike

    This thing called Lotus is an addiction   
So after I bought my Evora last month I paid off the remainder of my wife's BMW note.  Now that she has her free & clear title in hand she wants her own Evora. :rolleyes:  She's wanting an Aspen White one since it looks amazing with the black package.  I thought I was going to get to enjoy the Evora by myself, but apparently I was wrong.  I can't get her to leave me alone; she wants to go everywhere with me now, & I just want to drive by myself lol.

    Spoiler for Elise   
So the guys, gal (we have one) and I were oogling the Elise at work tonight with the new wheels etc. Everyone agreed it needed something else but nobody could place their finger on it. Then the chick nailed it, typical being its my wife gungodess's Elise.  A rear spoiler, black low profile. Everyone agreed.  So here is my question. What aftermarket spoilers are out there? What is the consensus on the best, best looking, most effective etc.....
