Just another Yellow Elise

I missed the sun on the one day we have had sunshine since I bought the car, but I thought I would share.









361 miles down, many to go!!

that's a myth.

what you have to do is put some stickers on the car like all the Honda Civics you see running around! that will give you some serious HP!

I got a Fujita sticker that came with my intake. I wonder how many hp that's worth!

I gotta say the elise is a spectacular looking car.. whenever I look at my ST elise I always smile as the gorgeous design, a true exotic...

I have to say it's right up there with the best lamborghini/ferrari/AM have to offer in the looks department.. truly lives up to the classic design that keeps lotus in the exotic category

NO WAY ITS TRUE!!!

and also u need to take out the back seat (weight reduction),
and get a TYPE R and NOS stickers because its just as good as the real thing!
and I HUGE EFFIN WING! (the god of mods...HP and visual mod)
and body kits of various colors...
and umm oh yea Yellow anything fuzzy dice to body kits do in fact make u faster everyone knows that DUH...
and an automatic gets u more traction...

suprised u guys didnt know LOL

A lot of the 'Elise look' comes from the fact that the
original designer decided to bring his own Ferrari Dino
into his design room for inspiration. If you're going to
steal portions of look from someone, you can't go wrong
using designers like Pininfarina. The head man at 'Lambo'
was so impressed with the Elise that he mentioned,
'Lamborghini should build an Elise type vehicle....." He did
add that they would lean toward a much larger engine to
offset a somewhat larger (than Elise) vehicle, adding that
Ferrari would be hard pressed to match it in overall performance
at a price point of about $100,000.
