2005 Lotus Elise Dashboard Diagnosis

When it comes to lightweight sports cars that deliver a pure driving experience, few can match the charm and character of the 2005 Lotus Elise. With its striking design and exhilarating performance, this iconic vehicle embodies the essence of what a sports car should be: agile, responsive, and incredibly fun to drive. 

This Lotus vehicle came to Thunder Bunny Racing to have the dash instrument cluster repaired. The speedometer suddenly stopped working, and with this issue coming about rather quickly the customer knew the car would be in good hands at our shop. 

Once the car arrived, our technicians got to work diagnosing the issue. The instrument cluster was removed in a matter of minutes and sent out for repair. After we received the cluster back we reinstalled it and took the vehicle on a test drive—everything worked as it should and this Lotus Elise was ready to be picked up.

Enthusiasts share a passion for these Lotus Elises, as well as the other unique vehicles that we have the opportunity to work on here in Greenville, South Carolina. And being enthusiast-owned and operated our customers know their cars are in good hands.

At Thunder Bunny Racing, we’re proud to offer a variety of services for a wide range of vehicles, from exotic and high-end luxury vehicles to high-performance sports cars. We specialize in BMW, Porsche, and Audi vehicles but love to dig into anything, modified or stock. Give us a call or come by for a tour today.

Shark Blue 911 GT3

Porshe knew exactly what they were doing when they created the Porsche 911 GT3. The aggressive body lines paired with 4.0 six-cylinder motor make this machine any car guy’s perfect vehicle. This particular client spec’d his GT3 in a stunning Shark Blue and was loving everything about his new ride. However, he asked if we could install a virtual mirror—similar to the option in the new C8 Corvette—so he could see past his wing taking up the entire back glass.

While we had never done something like this on a street car we let the customer know were very familiar with the process having done it on a number of our race cars—like our Toyota GR Supra GT4s and Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. He trusted our certified technicians to do the job and within a week we had the camera and mirror wired up and installed in his vehicle. The camera placement was perfect and exactly what the customer was looking for. 

At Thunder Bunny Racing we love special one-off projects clients bring us along with providing regular maintenance services such as oil changes, alignments, and other preventative maintenance, including performance upgrades like turbo kits and exhaust installs. There is no project too big or too small for our experienced, well-qualified technicians.
