Desmond

The car looks great. You've gone to alot of time and effort and it's paid off. Glad to see you're back on the road.

Keep in touch. Send some nice piccies in the sun.

Best wishes.

Have a great Christmas....

Thanks everyone for your kind and generous comments...

I will try to take photos of individual mods and the estimated price that they cost. Usual questions taken care off

As for the engine mods, i havent done any at this point in time. It is stock. But the boost is set for 0.85Bar since i learnt from the website 0.92 is the cut off. But perhaps i may contact elanscan man for 1 of the chips ?!

It's hard to find anyone that wants to work on the engine here, so i am excited to read about the experiences that (more especially Costas and Dave) have gone through...

Once again, thanks and will further update with more pics..hopefully with daylight too

Just wondering, did anybody encounter any difficulty in revving past 4K rpm after installing the Quaife? It seems to move very slowly past the 4K mark as compared to pre-install.
The car climbs slowly to 180kmh. Previously hitting around 180-230km/h was a breeze....just curious...either that or the 2nd cam is not activating..

Absolutly no problems and just love the way it pulls around corners.

Desmond,
I just stumbled across this thread... Holy Pooh!!! You have definitely turned your Elan into an original work of art. Great job; Keep up the good work!
