Ok, i wasnt gonna sell my evo but i've had a decent offer for it, so im thinking what can i get for around that price before i decide if im gonna sell it or not.
Then i thought Lotus Exige
But i aint got a clue about em! Anyone know what they're like?
Are they fun & more importantly will it be more fun than the evo?

Rhys

from what little I know about you I'd say an Exige is 10000% NOT for you.

Its a very hardcore car. Elise is a MUCH better roadcar in my opinion, the S2 is great.

If you are a total track addict though then the Exige is the DADDY, words cannot desribe just how good Seans is now.

MadMac

wicked cars

But if I was you I would find one to test getting in it, I know they aint tall people friendly, not sure about brick shit house mother flockers thou

for flock sake AJ

From what I understood, the 996 Turbo IS still made alongside the 997 range, as the Turbo 997 isn't due out till next year.

Anyway, you don't need such a fine automobile - suzuki cappucino should suit you down to the ground!

Get an Elise then or something else where you can drop the roof... the Exige is pretty hardcore. Personally as a Roadcar then the drop top and more user friendly Elise S2 is much nicer.

As a Trackcar though the S1 Exige ALLLLL the way.... Seans looks SOOOOOO hard as well. Its a monster now with the extra power and the Sequential gearboxPretty ZZzzzzzzzz slow as standard though to be honest.

Physio

Porkie - that looks flockin awesome mate!

Little Joe

Even do it in your fav colour.






Sorry,

someone has to when Tiff isnt here.

Physio

Thing is thats probably the colour i'd go for

Porkie

Bec's right. Good cars. Tunable as well.... can be REALLY fast

Rhys

Does the V220 hold money well, in comparision to the Elise?

Stu,
What did you have to do (to MY car )?

Porkie

iTrader: (1)

Taken some Fuel out at the top Mike, was running rich. Much faster now, the gearbox is just AMAZING and very easy to use. Really user friendly compared to the other sequentials I have tried.

have you driven it on track yet Mike?? mad mad mad mad car....

Rich, oh yes. Look carefully at this piccy. Spot anything SERIOUSLY expensive??

Lee,
All I see is some shonky welding by a bunch of cowboys and some cheap suspension probably knocked up by Brom in his lunch hour .

I haven't even been a passenger in the car, let alone driven it , and given that it's MY car, I think that is just so not on .

RichardPON

Well I see what looks like a breather, and a fuel swirl pot, but if I'm not mistaken............... is that Ohlins remote res. suspension on the car

B19-TRB

ooowww didint shonky have that sort fo suspension on the escort!

this i remebr as he told me how much they were & then pointed to the floor where they were leakin on to!

Mike, last trackday we did we popped out on the first session with Sean driving and I was totally blown away. It was like Sean had turned into Herr Shoemaker overnight, just amazing driving.

So we pulled in and he says 'your go mate' Normally I would strut around smiling, jump in and take about 3.5 MINS off his lap time. BUT not now, in fact I just made up a few excuses for a bit to try to get out of driving as to be honest I just didn't think I had the ability or talent to match what Sean had just laid down.

We went out in the end and after the first lap I just started laughing as I realised IT WAS ALL DOWN TO THE CAR its just like driving on the PS2, you keep your foot down at all times and it goes exactly where you point it

Thats a bit unfair to Sean actually, the year he spent tracking his M3 has taught him bundles about car control and maintaining momentum through correct lines. His driving was awesome actually! I was very impressed with the loud orange tool the Exige was great as well

Porkie

iTrader: (1)

Ohlins. The mutherfookingdaddy of suspension

I love that piccy, makes me laugh. Sean could have zoomed in on the Proalloy stuff SOOOO easily.... BUT just by chance he took the piccy so that his Ohlins remote resevoirs are in the shot as well. What are the chances huh

Physio

That one serious motor!
I still aint decided what to do
I dont really like the VX220 - it's got a vauxhall badge on it
