what car thread - Lotus Edition

[GG.]

I hate to dump on the Lotus love in but I struggle to see the value in a near 20 year old car with a four cylinder motor and kit car interior with wires hanging out and an incorrect odometer at £25k.

Dump away. I don't care if you or Rich buy it.

Personally I'd fancy an early V6 Exige too. With 2bular manifolds to release some extra horsies. But they are at least 60% over the stated budget, so....

I like the Komotec set up on HELL SLO

"Whats the lag like"
"Three"
"Tenths of a second? That's alright"
"Minutes"

In a totally unrelated way, our BV20 turbos are about 3/4 that size and the response time is around half a second.

Dave!

Honestly that's a bit surprising, but not massively - they're likely having a lot more air pushed into them than a K20 can manage

[V8Granite]

The 4 cylinder light cars appeal more than the Vx ones which are around 400kg heavier from memory ?

The Evora is a modern Esprit and a 911 competitor.

When you pull up alongside an S1 now, they are so so compact.

Dave!

Mr Williams has the EX460 kit I believe? Komotec are offering an EX550 upgrade now.... but it's not cheap

Not quite that - 319kg apparently. I admit that's a lot but the 350 is only 1100kg!!

ETA: which one did Mudge have - was that the 410?

I love how small they are, it's bloody handy.

His first (dark blue) one was an early 350, and his current (black) is a 430Cup.

I would very much like to have a play up in teh highlands in the 911 with you two and the Lotii at some point. Would be much fun. I think Mudge is going to leave us behind however...

@mik tbh, I’m not sure now either!

[Rich B]

yeah, i’m more into S1’s at the moment. Don’t get too excited though, i’m more interested in getting the right one rather than one right now.

That’s a bit selfish don’t you think ?

It’s not just about you, it’s about internet folk having a nice thread to read!

Can’t believe you’ve so callously disregarded my reasonable suggestion to spend twice as much on a car you don’t want.

[Jobbo]

I saw this and thought of you Rich.

[Rich B]

i’ve looked at that exige more than once!!

[Jobbo]

I couldn’t remember what colour your M2 is so I did double take
