Welcome!
Congrats!
Tell us how you get on.
Ian
I�m guessing that as we haven�t heard back from you, you are either; still out driving about grinning like a mad-man, or you�ve moved the sofa out into the garage and are sitting there admiring her. Either way, when you manage to drag yourself back inside, make sure you fill us in .

Sorry moved house last week and new 8mb home hub is still not working ! So I had to wait until this morning.
As for the Exige:- I bought the car without driving it as I reasoned that from a dealer it would be right ? So many reviews exist so I already knew it would handle well.
First impressions are:-
My bum is too wide for the seats–it is a little gutless–brakes work but are not ferocious–radio is laughable–harnesses are a pain if you use for short journeys.
How will I fix these:- Lose weight ?? Add a turbo kit–add AP brake kit or similar–dont use for short journeys–install induction kit & sports exhaust.
Cheers

Well Mr Kershaw seems to be able to make the brakes work!

You’ve always had to use them hard.
Almost sounds as if you’re trying to turn an Exige in to a TVR.
Ian
Not a TVR more of a Noble competitor.

That’s me in the passenger seat and I can confirm that the brakes were working fairly well with Mr Kershaw at the helm - as Ian says though, they need a good prod (well they do in an S1)…quality Taperell shot as well
Allan…your just too used to those lardy RS mate! (guessing? by your nickname)
Why would you buy a car like this without a test drive? That’s when you find out if you fit or if it’s the car for you
Car was purchased as a business tool. We are developing performance upgrades on our own car not using customer cars as guinea pigs. However my fat bum issue isnt as bad as I made out but I am used to those “lardy Porsche 964RS’s” The Recaro SPG seats in them fitted me like a second set of clothes and my GT3 Recaros were more comfy again.
I am now starting to understand the dynamics of this little car and the biggest thing to strike me was the immense turn in grip from the front ! Awesome. The brakes I am now getting used to, use them like a race car, as late and as hard as you dare and they stop.
It seems to be having an effect on me now, I am driving it harder now and it seems more fluid.

Have you tried it on track yet - cos you’ll be amazed
Whereabouts are you based, Allan?
No need to answer that - ain’t Google wonderful? http://www.weltmeister.co.uk/

That sounds more like it!
They sort of come alive a bit when you use the rear-end weight.
Ian
Thats what happens when car tuners that know very little about web site design do their own web site !

Hey Allan,
I’ll have to drop in and have a look mate! Not got my S1 yet, have a couple I’m going to look at though. Will be in touch!
But when you click on Lotus it takes you to the Porsche page!
