Suspension upgrades installed

Whilst waiting for the last few parts to arrive, I can't do much work on the engine, so I finished installing the suspension upgrades. All four upper wishbone ball joints have been fitted. I replaced the lower ones a couple of years ago.


I also fitted the rear toe arm upgrade, which is pretty much obligatory for an Elise with sticky tyres or one used on track. Something I should have done a while ago!


I've also had an offer to buy some bits off the spare engine, which will help repay the cost of the engine. The alternator and engine loom will be heading off the Alice Springs in the next few days.

I've also painted the lettering on the cam cover. Below the plastic part of the cam cover is an aluminium cover, and as I have sold the wiring loom for the engine I now have a hole where the cam sensor fits.


This needs to be plugged to maintain crankcase pressure, so following what I saw on Seloc, I've filled the hole with 3 coins, held in place by the Greek goddess of stickiness, Araldite. I hope Mrs. Windsor doesn't mind being stuck in an engine. It is a British engine!
