Had to cheer myself up a bit, so I went ahead and bought some parts for my car, even though I will not be needing them until next fall. They arrived yesterday from the UK. I ordered them from Pro Alloy and I must say, their service and communication is first class and so is the quality of workmanship. These parts are for when I upgrade to Rev 400, its the Pre Rad for the charge cooler, that fits in place of the A/C condenser, and the fans are puller fans that goes on top of the radiator.

Have fun with the upgrade. I also had a very good experience with ProAlloy. Bought a radiator for my 2007 Elise. Not cheap but reliable overseas shipping service, customer service, and parts.
Everyone knows that their 3 pass rad is the best for Eliges... ( pun Re: old thread debate)
I have puller fans as well with lower rated 170f and other supporting cooling mods. No doubt I run too cool for the streets, but I know the rules of engagement so am certain oil is up to temps before playing. regardless of 3 or single pass,Prorad are a solid improvement in many departments. Jealous about Rev400!
I may or may not ever go to the next level beyond Torque 300 with my car anytime soon. I have other hobbies unfortunately.
I installed Pro-Alloys charge cooler kit on my Exige. It also allowed me to keep the A/C condenser. I did my buying earlier this week and enjoyed the strong dollar; 1.168 per GBP. Picked up some new suspension goodies for the Cup-R from EliseParts. Noticed today that it is back up to 1.23. Wish I had purchased the Cup-R when the dollar was that strong.
Hi Eldon,
I dont know if the Exige is different than the Elise as far as room for the fans under the vents on the clam, but just measuring it seems to me that the whole assembly, radiator and pre rad, need to be dropped about an inch. Please let me know if you run into any problems with that.

Hi all,
I just bought an APR splitter for my 2006 elise. I do not really want to do a lip and splitter combo, but I am trying to mimic the image of the orange lotus that APR uses to model their products. I know I saw this lotus elise on Super Street Magazine awhile back when magazines about...
I have an 05 Elise that I had to do a number of repairs on including rebuilding the gearbox. So the car didn't run for about a year.
Once I got it back together I ended up with a P0507 code. The car would run fine but once warm, the idle would drop before returning to normal. So I cleaned the...
While doing a routine oil change today I noticed my transmission is drenched in fluid, appears to be coming from the passenger side but a metal collar on the drivers side output shaft appears to be deformed so I don’t know if that might actually be it. I’ve never done any transmission work on my...
I'm considering the purchase of a S2 Federal Elise, I have searched to see if there's info. around, but most people are concerned if tall people fit an Elise and not if those on the other side of the bell curve do. I'm but 5 feet tall with a proportional torso to leg length ratio (i.e. I don't...
