Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Dyno graph. Green line is old tune, light blue (hard to see) is new tune. Old tune was super lean. New tune has more fuel, way safer, and makes about 15 more mid range power and torque (peak numbers are about the same). I really like how flat the torque curve is all the way from 4500-8500 rpms. Power just crosses over 300 at redline.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
That dyno graph is weird. hp and tq don't crossover, i know because it's scaled all goofy.
I can't believe the car is that fast with 300whp, you have to take it down the strip if that thing does a 120/125mph I'm gonna go crazy!

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I am throwing this out there, it's straight out of my ass, but I'm going to say 11.65 @ 117.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
More normal looking dyno graph, the bump at 5k is the cam change:
I painted the rear license plate holder black and got a new diffuser since the stock one was bent up pretty bad. Also got some aero plates that cover a lot of the open area around the rear suspension.
Before:
Mock-up of after:
And diffuser installed:

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Looking awesome man!
I'm sorry but those are the hardest dyno charts to read nearly ever. Can't they do different colors or you know...higher resolution?

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Hahaha, I totally agree! First one was good resolution but bad colors, so I asked for better colors and got low res! Oh well, at least you can make out the numbers on the side.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I came home today after a vacation and found two boxes waiting for me, carbon fiber side scoops and huge wing ends (helps direct airflow, stock do nothing). I installed both tonight and I love how it looks, the wing looks way more aggressive now.
Old vs new wing ends:
Side scoops:
Edit: forgot to mention the carbon gas door I got, looks way better than the aluminum one. I also painted the fasteners black which you can see in the last photo. And you can contrast the former wing ends and side scoops in the last pic.
All installed:

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Wow, the car looks so much better with those CF parts!
I say go with the Raceview mirrors, with CF housings if they make them.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Looking good! I like the new accents. Are you still planning on plasti-dipping the wheels all black? or leave as is?
