Nice job on the E30! Hope you stick around on the forums and keep us posted on the project.
The Elise rocks!! I love the speed and handling (and go gaga over the looks). Makes my old 225 feel like a pig. Next I am going to install the factory supercharger for 3k, plus it keeps my warranty.The 8k redline is a hoot too. The ECU lets you go to 85000 for short 1.5 bursts as well.
Luckily it is not my daily. I have an 08 Si coupe and Lexus RX400 (hybrid SUV) for that. This is my summer car. I am glad it is because it would suck to drive this for a daily. It gets uncomfortable after awhile (say over a hour) and my back started hurting and I felt cramped with no where to really comfortably place your feet or rest your knee. This car was NOT made for daily driving but Im sure others do use them for that...how? I dunno..blah!
