Elise/Exige Fasteners to check periodically
This thread is to detail the fasteners you should be checking, or have your mechanic check. The Elise, like any track car, should be checked periodically. Some fasteners may be fine for many thousand miles. Some, should be checked much more often. Some are safety, some are a nuisance issue. Some will depend if you track the car. Please add your findings to this thread. I will eventually make a table of all the suggestions.
