Nice video, Aaron! It’s not the most convenient aspect of S1 ownership. BTW, I drew up the undertray and diffuser and had a set made in Mebane a little while ago. I put the CAD files in a FB group, but happy to share with anyone that needs them.

+@davidsutcliffe9827 very cool! That would be great

Really looking forward to more Elise S1 videos!! They'll be very helpful for me if I am able to buy one in the next year or two - hopefully David with Robin Hood Motors will still have a decent one available if I go through him. Have you driven yours much since you've had it?

+@kman5711 I’ve probably put 3000mi on it last year. Looking forward to warm weather. I just bought parts to replace the entire suspension so that will be coming soon 😎🍻

Hey Aaron i have a question i dont know if my timing chain broke or not on my 987.1 But do you know where i can get the repair manual so i can replace it?

[@HelpMeDIY]

I had a website I used to recommend but a couple people told me they never got it after paying so I don’t have anywhere to recommend now

I've been watching your videos for 2 years.... please help a brotha out with some advice on what you think is going on 😢 .

+@19lol19 Ahhhh dude that sucks sorry to hear. Impossible to diagnose without seeing the car though. And I suck at diagnostics in general lol.
