Hi Jannik,
Nice car but I think your rear supsension has had it.. I suggest you buy some adjustable ones, some adjustable perches and some 160 / 180 lb springs.
If you want to reduce the roll on the front end too, buy a larger antiroll bar; the difference is huge !

Looking good Gino.

Shows how much I know about Elan History; I thought that Strombergs were first used on S4's
Another bit of information for my fading Brain.

Hi John,
You are in fact correct but I really liked the bulge in the bonnet and that's why mine has one.
The engine has a weber head but I think that many other cars with weber heads had the bulging bonnet too.
