Dang, I left the "1" out... I meant 135  Grin

What is diaphragm shear strength, as it applies to the Elise, anyway?  I can relate to the roof of a building blowing off, but what it got to do with our cars?.... Downforce???  dontknow

That is the amount of force it takes to wear the gerbil in the back out.

They changed to those sizes in the 2006 model year, unless my VIN # is wrong and I got a super deal!

The manual says YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR with the underpan removed, as it supplies diaghram shear strength.  Please BABY IT over and back from the oil change place!

If you had an Esprit, driving without that thingy would almost certainly somehow lead to a fire or broken transmission.

Wait, $22.95 for oil change?  Tell me you supplied them with the synthetic oil and filter, and that cost was just for the labor...

That was labor and filter.  I supplied the Mobil 1 only because I had already bought it.
