For Sale - Ohlins 2 way suspension - Exige S2

I have sold my Exige :cry: and had the Ohlins removed beforehand.

I bought these brand new from Lotus Poole, about 2 months ago and have used them for about 800 miles.

They are the Lotus spec ones with adjustable bump and rebound, and the best single upgrade I did on the car for track work. Superb.

�1500 delivered (paid just over �2200)

Pics to come.

Shame to see it is gone, will you still be at Spa next year?

I’m sure I will Ade - not sure what in though! Hope all is well with yours?

All is well with mine, I just hope to have a gearbox that will last next year :wink: bring the Evo next year :wink: or could you not afford the fuel bill? :wink:

Spa in the Evo would be painful on fuel - I will probably hire a Caterham / Exige as i’m looking to get a nice road car instead.

Pics of the Ohlins to come this evening hopefully…

Which spec canister are they mate? 36mm or 46mm?

Hi Damon - they are 46mm :slight_smile:

Are you sure on that Mark??

If they are the ones supplied by Lotus then they will be the 36mm dampers. Lotus dont do a 46mm damper (you have to order them directly from Ohlins at a cost of about 2.8k new iirc).

sorry dont mean to intrude your advert…

Pretty sure! Unless i’m measuring from the wrong place :smiley: I measured the diamater of the cannisters and they are 46mm.

They are the exact same ones for the Cup cars, and have Lotus Sport stickers / markings on the canisters, and ordered by Lotus dealer.

Sold to Mike now :slight_smile:

Then I am sure they are the 36mm ones as supplied by Lotus.

If they are 36mm that means 10mm small = lighter = better :smiley:

Haha… I like the logic… I think it’s flawed, but I like it :wink:

I too have the Lotus Sport 36mm jobbies & they are a HUGE improvement over the standard set up :wink:

Thanks chaps - all I know is they are Lotus ones and extremely good :smiley: On their way to you now Mike!

The size 36mm/46mm refers to the size of the damper body not the size of the canisters…

The 46mm Ohlins dampers (although only 10mm bigger) allow for something like 70% more oil to flow through the shim stack over the 36mm kit giving you much more precise control. :thumbs:

Agree, the lotus 36mm kit is way, way better than the std fit items and will transform the car.

:thumbup:

I went for them after going out in the JonnyFox-mobile - I still can’t believe how much the standard setup can be improved!

Thread can be locked now.

Shame i missed these :frowning: Been away.

Nice evo to…whats the spec? I’ve not long sold My evo 8, engine went kaput so ended up with a 2.3 stroker with a ND Hybrid turbo, ended up with 440bhp and 476 ft-lbs torque with full boost coming in at 2,300 rpm. Loved the car but hated the constant diff/gearbox worries etc. :slight_smile:

Hi mate. It’s an 8 MR340 with an Ecutek map, and some other nice bits! Probably just shy of 400 bhp. Not quite as fast as yours though :wink:
