Hey Ziker - you and I would stand eye to eye; what pedal mods did you perform? Any tips/suggestions, or things to avoid? I'm looking to maximize legroom too. THX!for me at 6'4 anything under the dash. I got stuck between the seat and the wheel while modding the pedals. It was a near freakout trying to wiggle free. Now I remove the seat if I have to go under there.
i hear you - i'm only 5'8", and we had to call the fire department to get me out from under the dash. Pulling the seats - new task to learn...for me at 6'4 anything under the dash.

-eek- If you're doing a timing belt on your Elise, you've got a problem.Timing belts and water pumps.
Ouch! Does not sound fun!i hear you - i'm only 5'8", and we had to call the fire department to get me out from under the dash. Pulling the seats - new task to learn...
Pics or it didn't happen!yup - that other guy who thinks a scratch in his aluminum tub is bad? He should see the marks left by the "jaws of life".
Of course i am kidding.
Honestly, the radiator was not bad. If you have had the front clam off before, the radiator is not much beyond that. It was less than 4 hours start to finish since the clam went quickly. Make sure you have 8mm and 10mm ratcheting box end wrenches with swivel heads.I haven't done it yet, but I am dreading replacing the radiator.
Thanks for the tips! I haven't had the front clam off yet. I guess the part I am dreading is all the time it takes, especially the bleeding.Honestly, the radiator was not bad.

+1. This, without a shadow of a doubt, takes the cake... doesn't matter if you have the right tools and shop or not, this is a crap job on these cars if there ever was one...HVAC resistor pack. It is a maintenance item and it is comically tragic how hard it is to get to......20 hour job seriously
