Photoshoot of my Elige in Hollywood w/ new LED DRLs
</a>
</b>
<div class="yiv7273379049postText" style="margin: 10px 0px;">
Here's a quick photoshoot I did of the car today. Let me know what you think.<br>
<br>
Since the last photoshoot I posted here of the car, I've painted the gas cap (thanks 6i9, GStephan, Murix, MadMan Markiss, agirls, Julio at Mulholland, and many others), added the spoiler (thanks shay2nak and RENDERMAN) and did the front LED DRLs (thanks t955152). If I forgot to thank anyone for your ideas, please post and remind me!<br>
<br>
Last pics have the DRLs on, and the final pic is with the low beam HIDs on as well.

<div class="yiv7273379049postText" style="margin: 10px 0px;">
So, everyone knows the little light on the rear panel doesn't light up the inside of the car enough at night especially in non lit places. So I saw this thread:<br>

and I decided to do this seeing how its a cheap and pretty easy helpful mod. I ordered 2 of these:<br>

Tuning Software: Stock Lotus ECU
</a>
</b>
<div class="yiv7273379049postText" style="margin: 10px 0px;">
This thread is to better explain the features and availability of the very comprehensive tuning suite for the stock ECU. In addition, will post the tunes that we've made with the software and their availability.<br>
<br>
*Background*<br>
<br>
This software, known as _FastWorks_ was pioneered by one of the best ECU software engineers on the planet (handle is Hackish on the forums). We have worked together for months on end, around the clock, to release this extremely powerful bit of software that completely unlocks the stock ECU! This software unlocks the stock ECU allowing you to have "standalone" like flexibility/tunability (remember the Lotus ECUs started life out as high-end standalone race ECUs) with all the great OBDII compliancy of a stock Lotus tune remaining intact.

<div class="yiv7273379049postText" style="margin: 10px 0px;">
I picked up my Elise last Saturday, and it dawned on me today I hadn't been carrying my registration, insurance, etc. documents. I threw them in the boot today, but I don't expect a police officer will like that much. Where do you guys keep them so they're handy, yet out of the way and secure? I'm leaning towards a document sleeve/folder velcroed under the passenger seat. I feel like that would look suspicious, too, reaching under the seat during a stop.

Had it a month...wasn't expecting public backlash

<div class="yiv7273379049postText" style="margin: 10px 0px;">
So I've had my chrome orange 06 for a little over a month now, and am thoroughly enjoying it. It's my daily driver, and I read all the threads about what to watch out for & expect and all that. But what I wasn't expecting was the backlash.<br>
<br>
While I was busy minding my own business, apparently some people in my tiny little town with too much time on their hands have taken to facebook, and I got the pleasure of seeing it thanks to a coworker.<br>
<br>
"douche"<br>
"drives like an idiot"<br>

and the gem of the bunch: "I was driving a few cars behind him yesterday, it was all I could do to not rear-end him.
