Get one from Lotus - but it may be a bit small for the Eclipse chassis.

There's no legal Elise until the 04+ Fed Elise comes out. All other Elises are for race only purposes and cannot be driven on the streets. If you want a track-only car, you can get a used Exige or Elise 190, neither of which are cheap. Don't remember the price on the 190, but used Exiges cost about $60k. You can import one from the UK for less, but there's more hassle to do so. Other than that, you won't find an Elise chassis. Lotus USA won't sell that.
