That's noice ! A take it its not worth modding this one then ? Bar perhaps a few bhp via map and hardware.
Is it noticeably quicker / better than the type 72 ?
I always thought when you were buying a top end exige there wasn't much to pick between them you just pick the colour that you like :laugh:

I am going to resist modding this one,  :rolleye:  I have my 2ublar exhaust on and will do the engine mount inserts next year, but apart form tarting up a few bits pads and fluids, this one should stay as is. Maybe improve the cooling which is a problem but Lotus did everything i possibly could have thought of.
This is a noticeably better all round performer than the Type 72. I havent learnt to drive it properly yet and a reckon i am a few seconds a lap faster that with the last one.  :driver:

Very nice TC, I'll see you on track next year, should be good around Anglesey. I'm planning to do a whole day eventually  :wink:
