Mondo

I've never used this but the one time I could of was at the track when 10 other bikes were around me and they had louder exhausts;)

You didn't list it but I assume you got the whole pedal assembly too, or at least gas pedal set up? Think you'd be fine then.

that look would fit right in over here... shocked at how well they fit like your daily driver too.. here's mine Your welcome to visit anytime, just visited my sister who lives just outside Philly last month...

LEDs are pretty bright when on

I have the same rear tires but with 9 inch rims (and they fit nice on the rim)... By me eyeballing the tire with tape measure, it's about 10 to 10.25 inches total sidewall to sidewall width (not tread width); . The fender is 12 inches wide and there looks to be over an inch of room on the inside. You'd need an inch (25 millimeters) of additional backspace to keep the rim flush with the outside fender lip... as mine is in the pics. With all that being said, due to the cost of rims and any tire movement due to suspension travel, I'd figure out a way to make sure before purchasing... though it would likely be ok, I'd hate to steer you wrong. I've seen wider rims (slicks) on S2Ks but it's been 15inch diameter and they've stuck out. I know Kevin has ran 17inch slicks but don't know how wide the rims were. Just remember it'll really be for looks as our cars don't need that much rubber unless supercharged... good luck!

I've spoken with Chad on several occasions and 2nd Powderbrake's comments. I can't imagine a S2K with more attention to detail and better sorted (wish I could of had you make 2 sets of the interior bits like the panels and center console while you were at it;)) Sorry it wasn't what you expected Chad, it will definately make someone happy!

Do you have to put front fenders on for autox/track? Guess it might throw up some loose gravel with sticky tires;) Boy, my wife would love to have the exhaust go down the middle of the car. Glad to see you got it all sorted and now are doing the fun stuff!

Had family over.... 2 out of 3 loved it. My 12yr old son, who's doesn't miss an opportunity, my 24yr old neice who used to race go karts loved it but it was a little too hard core for her mom;) Others didn't want to try and squeeze in.

That's pretty cool.... just wish I knew what half that stuff meant;) I'd like to have a set up that gave me tach & speedometer and then switched to a gauge screen measuring something that went out of the parameters (and maybe a little flasher in the corner to get my attention). That way I'd only need to see what's important when it's important; kind of like the old idiot lights but with pertinent information.... guess that would include fuel below a quarter tank too.

I know your not in the market for a new Lotus but I went to the LA Car Show and Lotus is coming out with the Evora. I think it's a slightly larger and more civilized to address the issues you guys have been bringing up. http://www.likecool.com/2009_Lotus_Evora--SportsCars--Car.html http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/2009/top-2009-Lotus-Evora.htm

I've found that with a black car all you need is a black sharpie (98cents)

great motor too;)

Yeah, noticed the exhaust box.... I'm sure it'll get lost along the way. Nice ride!

double checked and that was the backspace I ordered from edge racing... good luck

I think they make hubcentric rings for using with spacers (have that on my G35)... my rims are just bolted up. I have a different Suburu STI rear-end so your best to wait for an answer from Loren or one of the other guys on bolt pattern.

I didn't see the Cortina sedan, was that all Lotus or just the motor?

Yikes! Your a better man than me. I've worked on 2 strokes years ago but valves & cams... forget about it. And the tolerances nowadays...

Thanks, I think that's it. It was only noticable with light pressure and the last 20ft coming to a stop. I still need to do some hard braking and check the balance bar as well. I'm realizing this is more race car than street car and getting used to what noises are ok and what's not... may pull the carpet and tank out in the trunk area (if you can call it that) and add some sound deadening to help with rattles... made a big difference in my 67 truck. Of course once you get up to speed all that goes away with the wind noise

It's a one time hassle... no smog, ever. But only givnig out 500 a year in a state our size makes for some dissappointed people. I was of those in January 08... I'd be a little hesitant if I was spending some super big money on say a GT40 or Noble. Last time I checked for personalized plates "LOTIS 7" was still available

Your most likely not going to have a problem if the title is "1964 Lotus".... you'd be just one in a line of thousands registering an out of state car. I'm sure they're on the lookout for 60s Cobras or GT40s etc... don't know about 7s. But, if there's any paperwork that says 1988 on it you might have some explaining to do... also if you look like your smuggling drugs across the border while at the teller.
