:Welcome: Lotuschappy!!

It looks like you’ll soon be the owner of TCS!  :beerchug:

Do have plans for it yet?

I’m thinking it’ll stay largely as is cosmetically, just want it to be a solid driver. As it has arrived, after some fettling with the distributor it’s a very nice runner. To be continued!

Many years ago, I was parked next to a nice stock brown/gold TCS at a LOG. I ended up emailing him and found he sold his baby for something around $13,000 IIRC which at the time was a good price. So when I saw this car only going for $14,500, I was sad. It seems like a pretty nice car. It drives and I think his interior improvements work pretty well (minus the tape on the seat). Then I saw that RacerX wanted to sell it for only $7500. I suppose Lotuschappy is selling it. It seems odd to sell a car he bought in July so soon. Maybe he'll let us know why. I just hope it's not for any unfortunate reason, but not knowing any more than I do, it seems likely that getting $7500 after only a couple of months might be the real motive.

Wow, that was fast.
 Guess I should have asked for more. I got a great deal on it from a friend, and even though I put a bunch of work into it, it just seemed right to pass on a good deal to the next guy. Still feel that way, but the fact that I'm apparently about 7-8k short on the current Elise market stings a little today...
 It was pretty decent when it left here, and now improved with new tires and some carb & distributor tweaking it will hopefully find a new new home.
