I've owned my mk1 for 3 years, just discovered that the club website has been updated so thought that I'd sign up. Will be paying for full membership next, somehow have ever quite gotten around to since I bought the car. :oops:

She's a 'crossover' mk1a in black (best colour), with 72k miles on the clock and 1 previous owner. She's been in storage for the last 18 months whilst I finished my degree and has only been back on the road for a few weeks. :D

Some of you might recognise her as I posted on IMOC for a while, before getting distracted by a large multi-marque forum.

Since these photos were taken the rust on the front valance has been sorted and a nardi steering wheel fitted. She'll be getting an Elise back box shortly.

Oh, and I have a blacktop 20v waiting to be dropped in.... :mrgreen:

Hello!
You're just down the road from me then (I live just outside MK). Would be great to see you at one of the Milton Keynes meets (though that'd mean I ought to go too! :lol: ) They're fourth Saturday each month if I remember correctly...

Welcome and come to a MK meet soon. The one in March had more MK1's than MK2's :D

My brother lives in MK and mother lives in Newport Pag, so often around and make a few of the MK meets. Hopefully see you soon

Glad to see someone else planning an Elise backbox ;)

I can (unofficially, before I get shouted at :D ) claim that they make an extra 3bhp over stock! :lol:

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll try to get to the meet later this month if the car is back on the road, water pump failed this week :roll:

Fantastic, got the back box for £2 and fuel to collect so much cheaper than any other option :+:

Bargain! Get some pics up when you can - I'm always interested to see what people do with the Elise box. Have a look at Jinxy's if you can - This is an old photo, but the exhaust is still the same. He's extended the tail-pipes to make use of the existing cut-out and matched it the other side:

I won't show you pics of mine - everyone's seen it several times by now :oops:
Relevent search in the mechanicals section will bring it up though :+:
