Spring is finally here in the Midwest, and I'm about to add more wear and tear on the Elise, so before it gets all dusty and creaky again I wanted to share a few things I did over the winter.
I'm a wheel hoarder, and couldn't resist a set of RAC Monolites from plastique 999. Stripped and painted flat gold. The paint code was Williams F1 from sometime in the '80's. These will be mostly street wheels this year.
Magical Racing mirrors replacing Craftsquares I've had for a few years. Smaller but slightly convex, plenty of room to see. Rigged up a mount that is clean, I think. Painted the mounting plate black to match the rest of the trim.
I had quite a bit of work done on the suspension by V2 Motorsports. But for fun added a NRG slim hub to mount this really nice Momo from Eliseparts. Can swap out for a grippier Alcantara OMP wheel for track days.
The car is half and half cruiser and track toy these past three years. Hard to believe it's nine years old. Other than a little paint rash here and there from the track grit it still looks pretty good.
