Why the hell should you be within stopping distance of the car in front?
105: Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear. You should
leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly slows down or stops. The safe rule is never to get closer than the overall stopping distance (see Typical Stopping Distances diagram below)
Sorry guys, you know what I meant!
The belt? Sorry had to say it!As standard, they hover just above pants.
You would expect it to with the engine being in the middle.Its a guy of MLOC that had the accident...nice bloke, shame what happened. he's admitted he was at fault, couldn't stop in time and smacked into the back of the Audi.
He was trapped in the car until the fire fighters arrived to lift the Audi up so he could get out. Amazingly, the Elise still started and they moved it to the side of the road.

With upgraded disks & pads, the Elise's brakes are superb. No need for them to be servo'ed.

See I've heard differently from a 111S owners. He's had Lotus fit Fast road pads along with D + S Disks and he's still no happy with the braking performance. Need to bag myself a drive next time I see him, give him my opinion
I have a Honda S/C'ed S2 111S converted by Maidstones, which has alu-belled disks with Pagid pads, along with braided lines, and the brakes are superb.
The difference between these, and the factory fit items is like night & day.
The standard brakes were crap - and that's being kind!
Very nice car! Where have you been hiding?
