As it was nice out today I decided to look at my weather strips . Need to get a few bits in to finish it of during the week. Fingers crossed I will have my new seals fitted to so I can start on clean up the engine bay a bit .

[kenich]

Just waiting for the rain to back off so I can fit my new mudflaps.

Just need to get the car ready to show it off at caslecombe now as after looking inside the doors Iv seen I need a new runner for the butterfly clip to clip onto for the windows.

[kenich]

Just when I thought it had been dry enough to fit the flaps and I get wet!

[kenich]

I now have the R1rs fitted onto my alloys. Just waiting for the rain to back off so I can fit my new mudflaps followed by the alloys. I am hoping to take the Elan out on Track @ Castle Combe next month so I can try these tyres out under a decent environment.

Will you be on Track Sat 11 Sept? for the action day,,, I'll be there in the Saab so hopefully have a look at your car if your about , especially if you have new seats fitted..

[kenich]

Yea I should have the seats in by then. I am hoping to go yes... Not seen any track time on sale through my club I use. Would like to get som on the day though yes

[trig]

Cool , I'll look out for your motor

Fitted some s2000 seats to alloy me to use harnesses.

The S2000 seats are in now. I made the brackets up quickly this morning. Expect I will make some smarter ones at some point over the winter ( would prefer them black rather than Galv).

They are a perfect fit in the Elan. Sides have enough room to slide without catching anything, backs don't catch on the hood. I am yet to try closing the door with the door cards on though as all the trim is currently off. They looks spot on, don't look OTT but smarten up the interior by bringing it upto to date and looking a tadd classy.

They don't seem to offer as much support as my Sablet recliners from just sitting in the seats sationary. Time will tell how they hold out on hard corners though

[kenich]

Think one of the sessions Iv got is @ 11... if you wanted to take a look

[trig]

Forecast is good for tomorrow ,,, I'll be on track 12.45 in the family estate ... maybe next year for the Elan..

Some of the Saab guys have pulled out tomorrow due to car probs so there are a few passes available if your in need

Hopefully see you there

I didn't make it out on track today My wife was really ill last night and I had to bring my 18month old along with me. I was not able to take her out on track, so I was unable to go. Gutted

Seen a red SE doing really well out there. I got some pics and vids il host of that later.

The red SE was doing a good job of avoiding the pack, looked well driven and quick with the usual front roll
There were a few spins on track and a VX220 was lucky to avoid the tyres after a spin on the grass:shock:

Red Elans just seem to travel through time faster.
This is just my observation and not a Scientific Fact.
I am sure someone will correct me shortly.

Just fitted an Elise gear knob. Half alloy, half leather. Bit smaller than the O/E one, feels lots nicer on the hand.

Gonna take the Elan out for some nice pics soon. In the mean time...

I have now tried a different filter which means I could use a recirc valve if wanted

Well the S2000 seats are in now. I made the brackets up quickly this morning. Expect I will make some smarter ones at some point over the winter ( would prefer them black rather than Galv).

Just bought a set of S2000 Seats but I'm not very "mechanically minded"!

Can you gvive me some info/help on how to mount these?

If so, preferably "Idiot Proof" (me)

Thanks
