Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
That looks a lot nicer than how you got it, a bit more classy too.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
The console looks good, but I like the wing better!

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
still busy with work right now Andrew. I think the only time I will be able to take a ride is tomorrow is either around 4ish or later at night (hopefully I am not bombed after the sales guys take us out).
Maybe pm me your number and I can text you tomorrow and see if you are free.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I do think it's kind of ironic that you're taking a factory race car and adding sound deadener and carpet, especially around this board.

I just sent you a PM and then saw you posted in my thread. I'm getting the exhaust welded up tomorrow so a test drive might not be in the cards at 4pm (unless I ditch work early lol), but at a minimum you're welcome to swing by for a bit and maybe I'll have it running without the undertray or diffuser installed. I still haven't turned it on since I parked it last Fall.

Yea I know, but these cars did come with full carpet interior and sound deadening, I am just adding a little back in at a fraction of the weight. The car is still 200 lbs lighter than stock.
I normally wouldn't care, but the sound level was just brutal, to the point of hearing loss when going over 70mph for extended periods of time. I am fine with the bouncy & uncomfortable ride but super loud is another story. Aren't all the old guys on this forum making their cars quieter anyway? 
LOL, just thought that the couple pounds I saved with that carbon wing should make up for the couple pounds of foam and carpet!

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Very nice! Looks much better than the sparse interior it had before. It's like the "Asshanson Lux Package"

Yep, it's crazy how things add up, here are a few of the bigger weight saving mods that I can think of right now:
Wheels and rotors - 30 lbs
Header/exhaust - 25 lbs
Speedglass windshield - 20 lbs
Heat and AC - at least 20 lbs
Battery - 15 lbs
Aluminum fuel tank - 10 lbs
Clutch/flywheel - 10 lbs
Emissions crap - 10 lbs
Rear panel delete - 9 lbs |

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I drove it around in 45 degree weather and was not cold at all. No AC might suck in the summer, but I'll just take the top off! All the heat/AC stuff was removed by the prior owner, at least it still has a vent fan.
And yes, I'm going to verify weight at a truck scale sometime this week and eventually use corner weights at the shop where I am getting tuned.
