They're usually pretty easy to set up as long as you remember two things: 1. Strong batteries! (especially if you're going for more than 20 feet between the transmitter and receiver) 2. Think in 3 dimensions, if the two heads are tilted down or up, it won't matter if your left/right alignment is correct.

I've never used the reflector style lights, but with no batteries to maintain... they would have some advantages.

All that means is that at some point, I will suddenly lose "the touch" and will never be able to align the lights again.

Hmm, yeah. I don't like the idea of counting on batteries for timing...

Unless maybe it's that bitchin' Tag Heuer wireless timing system, heh.

Elises come factory equipped with what we would class as race tires, so you should be in different classes.

Edit: Spoke too soon. The sports are equipped with Advan A048s but are optional on non-sport versions. Standard is a 140TW michelin. maybe.
