    Default Update picture of Elise

    Usually people use hardtop that is body color, but I bought a black hardtop instead (paid 700 instead of 4000), then I tint the window, add a CF plug cover. Next step will be painting the rear diffuser black.

    Yes of course. I am waiting for a new SC kit to release that is suppose to put the car in 275whp range. Should drop the 0-60 time to under 4 sec because the car weight less than 2000 lbs. Other than that, I just want to keep it simple. Powder Coating the splitter and gas door, maybe a pair of carbon fiber seat if the leather seats worn out,but that's pretty much it for this car.

    I do live around the area, but I only drive the car maybe 1 or 2 days per week.

    Sick ride man! That 2ZZ engine looks really familiar.

    Did you get the CF spark plug cover from Kenny Heiser? I used to have the same one but I sold it and got the polished Injen SP cover.

    Yes I bought it from Kenny Heiser. Much cheaper to buy the part for Celica, 75$ instead of 400$ from a UK company.

    Why would it be cheaper to buy the part for the Celica GT-S? It is the same part on the same engine!! You could have got that SP cover on newcelica.org for around $100 or less. What UK company did you buy from?

    Sorry I should say from Celica GTS, I only paid 75$ for mine from Kenny on newcelica.org, but most Lotus owner get their engine cover from reverie, which cost around 400$ when it first came out for a flat piece of CF. The price recently dropped to 200$, which I think is still way over priced.

    The car has the exact same HP figure as GTS, 190 HP

    Good I am glad you got a good deal on newcelica.

    I agree that $200 is still crazy for that SP cover but some folks just do not care.

    Yea, I used to drop big money into car, but right now I think a lot more when0 it comes to buy any parts for the car. For example, the exhaust system for this car usually cost anywhere from 500$ to 1200$. And its basically only a freaking muffler with a tip. So I ended up only spending 250$ with Maintream, they did my exhaust in full stainless, and the price is including installation.

    Luckily Elise share the same drive train with GTS, so I actually have some cheaper alternatives when it comes to parts..

    I've always loved these cars. Any black/grey theme is nice also. Keep up the good work.
