Good day to all,
Here to introduce myself and to learn more about exiges.
My name is Raf aka Turbomier,
40y of age and living in Belgium.
I allways driven the more sportier cars, mini with motorswap, swift GTI, polo GTI, Golf 7R, Golf 8R, Honda civic EE9 with B18c swap etc etc…
Problem is i allways got in trouble with the law or MOT (wich is a real problem here)
So i came across Lotus…
The brand wich made track cars for the road.
After driving a S3 Elise from a friend, i was sold.
He told me, there was a cool exige for sale at one of the 2 lotus dealerships we have here.
So it diddnt took long to go and have a look.
There it was… Aspen white Exige S2 RGB #108…
Interior mostly carbon fibre parts, larini backbox, itg intake.
They saw i was interested, let me do a testdrive.
With the guy from the dealership next to me, we took off.
Fell in love and bought the damn thing right after that.
Own it about 3 years now, no regrets whatsoever…
I’m on a mission to tackle the weak bits.
In the first week i upgraded to a bigger diffuser allready. Looked so much better imo!
Had a custom shifter made from Manuel “dolomiti shifter”.
And upgraded the dash to a digital AIM unit.
The dash is allready installed, the shifter is about to go in on short notice.
The Yokohama a048 tyres, wich were old and not that good of a ride anymore are switched for nankang AR1’s, grip is insane!
Future plans:
Baffled sump
Innovative a75 motor mounts
2 piece brakediscs
Pagid RS14/ ferrodo ds2500/ or something similar.
Braided hoses
New gear cables (upgraded ones)
Nitron suspension
Maybe a better intercooler
Maybe PPE header and cattless set up.
Powerwise i think it is pretty good, i have had much faster cars as the lotus.
But nothing comes close to the driving experience.
Its a supersized go-kart really.
Still verry much in love with it, as for now i dont think i will ever sell it😆
