i d c... the Exige is a bad mother... i would drive one of those in a new your minute

 

I hope that Lotus does not use the standard Toyota engine management with that motor. If they do, they should all come standard with a VAFC.

 

Is that your Skyline in your signature? If so, are you in S. Tampa? The guys who do our yard were swearing up and down that they keep seeing a silver one around by another client's house that is mint as hell.

 

it doesnt really suit anybody's frame...hahaha
i am just under 6 foot and 165 and its...interesting to get myself into it

And yes is mine in the sig. There is not supposed to be another one in the area. There is one in orlando.

 

Lotus needs to seriously break into the market here. If people will spend 80 grand on a Acura NSX, im sure there are people out there that'll buy Lotus'es, enough people to justify a couple of dealerships.

 

I know about the one in Orlando, so I suppose you are in the S. Tampa area. Hopefully I will see you on the road. I've got a whistling grey 240 coupe.

 

Ok!.. i've been looking for these pics..
That's an Audi Rs4 Engine crammed in that elise.. Stock power output is 350hp at 10psi.. i'm sure it's at LEAST chipped.. hehe




anyone read german?.. hehe http://www.brandes-dschuedow.de/lotus_esthi/main.html

 

That is the exciting objective the fire & Dschuedow Auto manufacturer in cathedrals. With the first project of the small series manufacturer the outstanding Lightweight characteristics of the base vehicle Lotus Elise meet on engines with alternatively 173 KW (235 HP) or 308 KW (420 HP). The 4-cylinder compressor engine with 173 KW (235 HP) and that "briefly" or "long" co-ordinated transmissions, as well as the 6-cylinder Bi-turbo--engine with the suitable 6-Gang-Getriebe (wtf?) are alternatively technical highlights. A breath-robbing weight per horsepower of less than 3,4 develops and/or. 2,4 kilograms per HP. The fire & Dschuedow Automobilmanufaktur is to be won succeeded - with Lotus Cars, TEKNO engineering and the TUEV - extremely competent partners for this project. Automobile of engineers of TEKNO engineering reflects the change work the fire & Dschuedow Auto manufacturer and provides with the technical line and monitoring professionally for a maximum of perfection and security.


›› the ESTHI carries the Lotus Emblem‹‹ for a smooth success of the project with pride is from the beginning merged the TUEV with all conversions with its technical advice. In addition also the monitoring of a continuous test under minimum speed on the Nuerburgring counts. The aerodynamic "final examination" in the wind tunnel proved outstanding drift values. The result of the common work is a driving machine with an unloaded weight of only about 785, developed in all interests, and/or. 998 kg. Wages for this: For the first time official acknowledgment of a Veredlers expressed of the Lotus Cars Ltd..

Rough, but readable.

 

I work at Dimmit Luxury Motors. We have a euro spec car at the dealer now with the rover engine. The US version will come with the GTS engine but different intake ecu mapping and exhaust of couse. Other than that it is the same engine. We are planning on turbocharging the first one we get.
