Re: Looking for 111R
Not 100% finalized but looks like I have came to an agreement with a fellow SE member for a 111R SC.
This is my first RWD car so I think it will take me a long time to get used to this motor. I am away with work just now but hope to have the car by March - I will post pictures ect at the time.
Hopefully get to see some of you guys at a meet in the future.
Thanks for all above comments. This really is a great forum!

Book a day with Andrew Walsh at carlimits.com. Immediately. Will help with the RWD transition. A 111r SC will put you in a ditch after the first damp roundabout otherwise

Then book yourself into one of the crazy track day holidays that half the boys are arranging (see Meets, I think.). Well worth it.

Re: Looking for 111R
Just an update an another question.
I have put down a deposit on Elise 111R + SC. I'll put a lot more information up when I've got it home in a months time.
I've been looking at be recommended service times and checking prices for parts.
Where do you guys buy your spark plugs/belts/pads etc from?
Thanks again!

Re: Looking for 111R
No one place Bruce, www.eliseparts.com is a regular as is www.seriouslylotus.com.
Prices do not vary a lot between them, although Pagid pads seemed to have increased lately, and it is always worth checking out eBay.

Campbell / Rawsco - Are the car limits training days only in Essex or does he do any further north?

Re: Looking for 111R
Only Essex, but you can hire walshys elise for sensible money (not much difference from fuel and accommodation) if you can't be arsed driving down/don't want to put miles on your own.

Re: Looking for 111R
Okay, cheers. I do really fancy it and would rather take my own car if possible... maybe some road trip planning is required
