Just my two cents, but if you're looking to make your car go faster, none of the stuff you're doing will actually help unless you have spent substantial time at the track with a decent instructor. The car's a racecar in a box, and it really doesn't benefit from much modding if your purpose is to turn faster laps. If, on the other hand, you just want to have fun changing your car and like the process, then go for it. Just be advised that a lot of the "high bang for the buck" mods that work on other cars don't really buy any power with the Lotus.
