Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Dude!! Awesome ride. What kind of power does a setup like this make anyways? What are some of the next steps you can/will/should do to it?

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
That thing looks fun. Should be a blast to autox or cruise in.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I want to take a ride in it, so that it can rip my face off.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I don't know, I kind of like my face attached. I will pass on riding in said face-ripping machine.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I want that feeling of being harnessed down and my insides pushing against my bones from the forces of the turns and intense braking.

Awesome pick up! You always seem to build/buy really cool project cars

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.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Nice pick up. 300 whp would be nuts in that car. Hope to see it on spring cruise.

I'd just drive the wheels off it and leave the power until you do some events, I bet it scares you around corners.

Come to a MAC Test N Tune next year and you can ride along with me (and I assume any of the other Evo guys that are there too). I usually put down better raw times than the Exige S that's a regular at events, and Toothy and Matt D. usually put down better raw times than most everyone.

Brandon and Matt would put down better times than most in a Diesel Jetta wagon...
