So much for it being a cheap toy this time round...
Just splashed out £400 on a set of Toyo R1-Rs and booked the Elise in for 3rd March to get new suspension fitted, new tyres fitted, full Geo and brakes bled ahead of my first Sprint on 14th March.

I wish, I have a copy but no S1 Elise available and what with me being heterosexual I couldn't buy an S2

Nice, I remember Nitrons being talked about for the S1's (was a while back though).

I would love to fit Nitrons but they start at £1k, cheaper (though obviously not as good) are the Bilsteins from the S2 which are ~£550. In my attempt to go pikey this time round I managed to pick up a 2nd hand set with 10k on them back in December for £130
