Default Elise Trackday at Snetterton today. Piccys

Popped along with an Elise owning mate to one of their club Trackdays. Very relaxed day and although I think Snetterton is normally dull as fook, it certainly makes it alot more fun when you are sat 1cm from the floor!

I like Elises alot, loads of fun to drive hard and they communicate to you so well they are a joy to slide around

Some pics















This is Turbo Technics Supercharged one It broke










This is my mates one, looks pretty standard from the outside.


However it does have a VERY nice trick up its sleave. Honda Type-R Engine


Then the silly bastard has spent over £3k on a Carbon interior including Reverie Seats weighing about 0.00001 grams each.... nice but stupid in such a light car anyway!


Goes really well as the Noble found out



Two laps later












ooops


Good day and it stayed lovely and sunny UNTIL he got sooo caught with his roof down on the way home

Honda S200 engine seems to becoming a prefered choice in the sport now.

240 gg's as standard with no mods

Pity there about 3k second hand at the mo.

Good pic's (well the ones in focus )

Sorry Nuts!!! they didn't look to bad on photobucket when they were small

some aren't bad too though







IF ONLY he had spent the 3k on a Jackson Supercharger conversion instead of silly carbon bits for the interior

Went very very well though!!
