Quite a lot of body roll there… I’ll try and dig out one from the rear that has LOADS of roll

OK, here’s the better one

And no need to comment on the positioning of my exhaust, it’s post chavving from the swift so isn’t going to sit even vagely straight! New exhaust after xmas me thinks

But maybe I just need to get the mole grips on it for the time being

Blimey Mark didn’t you notice the v large passenger you had on board?

4

And that was on a stright

But it’s not like you can get a very large passenger in and it’s hardly like they can “sneak” in! LOL!

But saying that, I had 3 women passengers that day so we’d better be careful who we’re accusing

That is you, me and IDG all in the South and all considering Nitrons for next year - maybe we could cut a group discount with someone to supply/fit??

6

Let me know if you’re serious about the group purchase/installation.

I am up for it for sure especially after reminding myself on Sunday what a joy Exige ownership is.

Sunday was a beautiful day and blasting (and slithering ) around some great roads in Warkickshire reminded me I love my Exige and it deserves some cash spent on it next year. Nitrons, brakes and emerald next year and loads more track days should keep it happy

Car is on the drive back in London now, covered in mud and road crap and looking like it has been used as intended

Thats how our Exige was looking on the standard dampers, after some 9000 track miles and about 8000 road miles. The Nitrons sorted it out though. Went for 350/425 springs. Nice and firm for the track but not too harsh on the road, you just have to look out for the potholes

Having already supplied and fitted 4 sets of nitrons (only one set to our car ofcourse) We might be able to sort out a group purchase, and ofcourse to get the most out of the nitrons you need to have Nylatron whishbone bushes also can be supplied and fitted by ourselves. along with Splitters, Diffusers, brake ducts, Exhausts Etc, Etc…The list keeps getting longer.

That certainly is a silly amount of roll but that what all Exiges do. Trouble is you need to go very stiff to get rid of it. I’m on 400/500 and it still has too much body roll on track and thats on Toyos.

We might be able to sort out a group purchase…

I’m up fot one set.

11

And no rear ARB to “balance” out loosing body roll so stiffer springs…

No wonder I lost yet another chunk of my front wheel arch liner on Sat

Mark - how is your front numberplate held on? Sorry for off topic!

LOL @ Pesky

The reality is the mighty velcro hld it on! I thought I may have lost it a few times but it’s never budged… I normally take it off for TD’s but simply couldn’t be arsed, was far too tired

Sounds like a plan to me! Although I’m hoping to get the Edwards to fit mine (chaps, you have any sway with Guy for a group discount? I could bring the others Nitrons/spirngs back down sarf when I’ve had mine fitted).

can I be a definite maybe…I assume it will be early jan before any prices, etc are sorted…
