Just a note. Check things!
When I owned a kart, one thing we learned was that the price for stiff ride that gets violently shaken in use, was that EVERYTHING wanted to come undone. It was normal procedure to safety wire every nut and bolt. And even then, things happened.
The Elise is not as stiff, but it's still stiff. Check fasteners occasionally. I do not know all of which ones are likely to come undone yet, but I do know a couple.
Under the diffuser, there are two bolts that are NOT on the periphery. They are allen head with a washer. On my car, one was finger loose and backed out a few threads. The other one was barely hanging on and I assume a week later would be missing if I did not notice it.
As has been mentioned before, tighten up those plastic carpet screw things. I tighten mine weekly.
