I felt that the accelerator pedal was a bit too low and away from the brake, especially when wearing my Puma Speedcats, so I did this:
The problem with the '06 pedals for Heel and Toe is...

Ingress and Egress has become very easy in the Elise, I guess it is second nature now: Why all this angst over getting in and out of Elise?

I'm did not get around to doing the Stan Shifter Mod yet, I hear that its one of the best things you can do to greatly improve the shifter feel.

Welcome!

I just realized your in Illinois.

This Elise is harder to get in an out of than an Europa, the shift throws are longer than I would have thought and the pedals need to be closer. I know there is an aftermaeket fix for that. But I did like the car alot. It seems that a new air intake and new exhaust should shave a ten off the 0 to 60 time but I think time is lost because the shift throws are so long. Is there an upgrade for that?
