Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really like driving it so far, but I haven't even come close to pushing it yet, both straightline and in the corners. I really like the manual steering rack, so responsive.

For power, these made something like 180-190 at the wheels stock. It has a smaller pulley, tune, and some other small stuff and is probably making in the 240whp range. I would like to get this up close to 300whp (max recommended on stock motor/trans) but will need a bigger intercooler and even smaller boost pulley. Also the roof scoop doesn't provide much airflow, so new intercooler ducting from the side vents will be necessary. Maybe this winter.
