My name is Soo fr Malaysia. The reason why i have this thot is becoz i like would to buy an elise but i would like to know izit hard to maintain the car?
FYI, now i’m only driving a BMW ALPINA 318(M)
Do u come here often. Maybe i can bring u where we normally speed. In terms of town drive is very heavy traffic jams in morning & evening but at nite is not tat bad.
There are a lot of Lotus here but they don’t have a forum/club. So i can’t do my research on the car. whenever come to track day at Sepang there will be a lot of Lotus but not like UK. On the track day everyone is busy preparing for their car no time for me to do research. Well i would said the car is very fast and is really built for TRACK. Love it so much
At last founded this forum I hope i can get more information on the car so that in future i can manage/maintain the car well…
I think you’ll find an Elise quite easy to look after, as there’s lots of books and advice on the Internet.
However, whilst we’re a friendly helpful bunch, I think you’d probably get better advice talking to a more general Lotus site, whose focus is less on one or two types of high-performance Elise variant (i.e. the Exige).
www.seloc.org has some very knowledgeable people on Elises but they can be a bit rude some times. Searching its pages is bound to give LOADS of information though (much like there I suppose, just we’re more about the Exige).
If you’re looking for S2/Toyota information, elisetalk is a good place for info, although the cars we get here in the States have some minor differences to meet our reg.s.
