Am picking her up tonight gents :D Managed to get fully comp insurance for me and Lizzie, 3000 miles, and 6 trackdays cover for....... £290 :shock: That sealed the deal. Yes they weigh around the 850KG mark, and when I drove a base K series 118bhp model a few years ag it felt plenty quick enough, in...

hehehehe, yes you are on the nose there, well with regards to the Elise anyway!

It's a 111S, so mid table in terms of the power options.

Picking her up on Thursday

Shall I post pics on here, or will no one be interested in an Elise?

Cheers

Dan

Looks very tidy Mike,

can't remember the last time I saw a grey one now I come to think of it.

My new additional car will be arriving, or rather I will be collecting it, on Wednesday or Thursday

Cheers

Dan

Dan, It's a strange old world. I was thinking about you (not in that way :!: ) only the other week when considering cars to buy and wondered what you and your mate were doing with your's these days. Having been to see several Bx 16 Valves recently, including a Triton Green Phase 2, drop me a line a...

Hello Ollie, value - hmmm, I don't, know do you value a car you have loved for 12 years...... :( Seems wrong somehow. A stab in the dark and being realistic, somewhere around 4 figures I would guess. Gas kit - as in nitrous, or LPG? Is your current 16V not up to the job? She has a damned strong engi...

Thankyou gents,

just got back from a successful trip to the local motorfactors

Dan

Hello gents, this is a very speculative post, and this is why it is not in the 'For Sale' section. Myself and my girlfriend are running two cars at present, and we both cycle to work. At present the BX gets very little use :? and as I may be buying a small british sports car soon, that may get even ...

Hello gents, long time no speak! went to start the BX today, and saw the alarm light was out, popped the bonnet, to remove the battery clamps (that go onto the positive and negative terminals) and one of them (I forget which but the one nearer the front) has snapped, as in the actual ring that goes ...

Our valver now has a fresh MOT and a years Tax

Just needed new front discs and pads, and a refitted CV boot/gaiter on the steering rack.

Dan

Oooh, what's the BXagon, and when does it happen??

Dan

Evening Gents, took the BX out off the garage tonight, started first time, and idling beautifully, and seemingly not a single leak of any amount! I am at college tomorrow, but Darren is going to take her for a full valet inside and out, no steam cleaning though :shock: And then tomorrow night we wil...

Nice little 20 mile run or so tonight, with no issues, Darren GT85'd the accelerator cable which seems to have cured the stickyness it had when I first applied some revs. Fan cut in fine, dials are reading high I think, but that was from when the dials were changed so no biggie. Slight annoyance tha...

We have success! :D Down to Darren's skills with a spanner. The draining of the tank just wasn't going to happen, but a bit of jiggery pokery in the engine bay (I shall let Darren explain) and she fired up first time, no hesitation at all. Bit tickety at first, but that quietened down, and the idle ...

Hello chaps, thanks for all the replies, it's good to be back :D Luke: Yes the car turns, and seems to nearly catch, but not quite, we've been running it off another cars battery as well for maximum power. TNS: Yep we are defo getting fuel there, we found that out before christmas, so I thikn that p...

Hello gents, hope all is well in the land of the 16V? As you may know I really haven't been using my BX much in the last few years, and in fact in the last year she hasn't really turned a wheel, well apart from going for a service/MOT and taking me to hospital! She was sat outside for a while, and i...
