What did you do to your Lotus today...

Right in the centre of the photo are there a couple of wires between the column and your new bracket? Just wondering if you might get some chafing there, it looks quite tight. Looks very neat though.

Interesting. Deserving of its own thread so I for one can marvel.

Mark,
Not much!! Note the black bumpers........................! I have a chum who has an Elise that in top gear accelerates from 90mph to 140mph in 2 1/2 seconds! Basically undrivable as the traction control and electronics have difficulty reining it in! It has a data logger for accuracy and somewhere around 550 bhp at the wheels. Good grief.....
