Good choice, always been a favourite of mine.

Stock S2000 = 14 sec to 100 and 14 sec 1/4 mile

Very nice mate, if I could have afforded one I would have got one instead of the S I think.

I like them. Very good VFM.

Are the brakes servo-assisted?

I know most elises aren't and get accused of being crap when you just have to press a bit harder

nice choice...

if its a similar setup to the S1 Elise, get the Pagid pads on it - I've just changed mine from Green stuff, and the change is very noticeable

^ What he said.

Pagids make a MASSIVE difference, but they're expensive.

They're also *very* dusty. Then get some Goodridge SS hoses and you're track-ready!

I really miss mine.

Only thing I don't miss is the roof leaking in the rain and the light units fogging up in crap weather!

Check your radiator expansion bottle. If it's yellow and has crazing on it - buy a new one NOW. If it cracks and leaks, you will break down! It's about

Yes.

And they have ABS.

A wise choice, if you can get past the angularity and the badge.

My parents used to live in Beverleh.

Didnt spot this post, but well done Jamie

Looks tasty.

I do like these and would like a sit in one, as my only reservation is the lack of interior
