I'm loving the extra power and torque, its made it so much more fun to drive. Only a couple of weeks left on the tax and she goes away for the winter so making the most of it.

Had a leaking radiator core on my heater before I switched it out for a fez one which has made the interior smell a bit. I hate the smell of leaking coolant its so sickly sweet it smells like pot/weed to me. Got to try to get rid of the smell some how.

 

Evap valve has become a bit noisy since the conversion for some reason so i'll be switching that out at some point.

Id recommend the conversion to anyone considering it, the car now drives how it looks :D

Had a bit of a coolant leak from the front end. Hoping its the hoses so I switched them both out for silicone ones today that I bought from elise parts.

Was about £115 for the pair and they look to be pretty decent. The bleed nipple looks much better than the original and has a nice positive feel when tightened up.

Hopefully should solve my leak and smell of coolant. Changed the coolant bottle cap while I was at it.

Got the hard top on the other day and changed the purge valve through the drivers side rear wheel arch. Wasn't a bad little job and only took half hour :D
