Some great shots Pesky…love the one of the engine bay…where and when is the next round?

Mr_Pesky · 14 August 2006 09:18

Hi Julian

Next round is Brands, but only George & Sam are out at that one - Barrie Whight is getting married that weekend.

Reports/calander can be see here Brit GT

Thanks Pesky…just a bit far to travel for me…looking forward to meeting up with you all again soon though, decided against the paint job but still waiting for the factory respray quote, should be interesting!

These are great photo’s! I was hoping to go to watch, but couldn’t make it in the end.

On another note, look at the size of that intercooler! It’s certainly not the one used in an Exige S

Is Russ signed up for Silverstone in September per chance ?

Not sure about that, its silver instead of black which makes it look bigger. My impression is its the same as on my S. I could be wrong though, but i cannot see how they could make it taller coz its already so close to the lid on the S/Cup, they cannot make it wider coz the cast tubes on the left and right already are very close to the sides of the engine bay.

The ducting looks like std series aswell.

The roof looks like it is the thing to have for owners of compressor cars

No you don’t - although I can see why you thought so

He was there yesterday afternoon, albeit in “spectator capacity”, & it was good to meet up with him again. He’s racing the Datsun at Paul Ricard next weekend (Paul Whight is also there in “Nimrod”)

fantastic shots pesky…the car looks amazing

Thoes rear wheel arches look GREAT…

Great pics Pesky. Love the one with the rear clam off.

Anyone know where I could get hold of some of those towing eyes? I’ve mysteriously lost the ones I had on my car.

Do you really think so. I’m not so sure. I really liked then on the Porsche GT3 RSR, but think they spoil the proportions of the Exige. All function and no form I guess.

"Anyone know where I could get hold of some of those towing eyes? I’ve mysteriously lost the ones I had on my car. "

if you speak to Russ Gibbons at Lotus Sport he should be able to sort you out with some

Eliseparts?

One of mine came loose, span round and took out part of the diffuser! I took them both off and discovered that in only a few weeks all the paint had flacked off (great quality!). Having bent the damaged one back in to shape, I hammerited them and loctited them back in to place.

It looks like the adhesives dept took some extra care

stevegreen · 15 August 2006 19:16

Great pics…anyone know what the thing that looks like a second very thin shock absorber right next to the real thing is?

IDG · 15 August 2006 19:24

Nice!

Shiney engine!

Did Russ get in the wrong side of the car? Please tell me he did!

looks like a measurement device but could be wrong.

The Adj Fr ARB looks interesting.
