Lee's Exige

:thumbup:

-0.3 is more like where you should be aiming for the front rather than 0.0 (Geo Setups - TechWiki). I’d say you’re not far away at all, but I’d get the toe settings sorted before spending much more time on it as that will have an impact too.

My front camber is more like -0.8 and rear -2.5 which is maybe on the extreme end of a road setup, but still within acceptable boundaries so doesn’t tramline anywhere and tyre wear isn’t too bad.

So messing about again and a few little adjustments i have now got.
PSR - 1.8
DSR - 2.0
PSF -0.3
DSF -0.8 so need a little shim here

Little update, switching the airbag light off, needed to access the ECU by going in via a 2001 vauxhall corsa b :crazy:
Anyway all done

Gave its a fresh set of plugs a some nice golden blood, in the end went for 5/40 fully synthetic fuchs race oil.

New pads fitted up front DS2500 to replace the RC5

Went a bit OTT on ceramic coating, once i had done the wheels, calipers, bells, shocks and chassis got treated to a nice coat.

Nice to have it back on its proper wheels, PPF on the 27th and its time to give it a shackdown.

Remaining jobs
PPF
Fit new mats
GEO
MOT
TAX

Looks stunning Lee, look forward to seeing it at some point :ok_hand:

Looks tidy that mate. Another decent job almost complete!

Looks cracking :+1:

Superb job.

Good work Lee :thumbup:

Another super job. And quick too! Just in time to use on Boris’ roadmap

Really happy with the new mats Ross made for me, think they complement the rest of the interior

Looking fab! A winter well spent :thumbup:

Those mats are ace - mind sharing details ? (or PM if easier) - Thanks

+1 on the Mats, linky please?

For those who use Facebook he goes under the name of Ross Hogg Robinson send him a PM or his number is 07984 034 284 (he said it was ok to share)

Ross has done me loads over the years and is a top trimmer and equally top guy.

The finishing touches is the PPF, i wanted the bodywork protected, ive spent a lot of time and money getting the paintwork as good as new if not better. Although the PPF company is only 10 miles away I still trailered it.

Xpel film is used self healing should it get knocked and a 10 year guarantee. The front from the top of the lights downwards is covered, around the front wheel arches and lower panel. Both sills wrapped into infront of rear wheels, bottom of doors upto edge shaped downwards, air intake pods, rear arches and lower rear bumper.

I picked the car up and went straight for a GEO set up and from there to get a MoT.

Nice little first run out to the local airport, and also good to see some of my Lotus mates.

That is one seriously sexy car! I love the colour and the yellow calipers :sunglasses:

It was great to finally see it in the flesh, Lee. You’ve done a fantastic job, it looks absolutely stunning! It was also good to catch up with everyone on Saturday, it’s a shame Tim couldn’t make it. :thumbup:

Fantastic Lee, the over-filtered shots from the PPF place are simply not necessary as your later pic which I presume is just a naked photo from a phone in front of the Vulcan shows that the car is stunning on its own!
