@Paul260: Yes I got it with the new steering wheel and the Ohlins suspension.

Here are a couple of pics from inside!

Should have made your mind to make your pilgrimage to Spa and the Ring, call them and have a sincere discussion with the guys at RSR.
I'm 101% sure you'll find what you want!

How did you get these?

I think Lotus Cars announced that only 45 were to be made all arounf the world plus 50 for the States, and am not really sure how many finally rolled out of the factory (I guess less...)! You see the credit crunch didn't left enough space for many "petrolheads" to consider such a track-biased purchase during this period...

The pictures are from frozenspeed.com. Jorgen with his team supported the RSR's Lotus at the Ring event, and produced this excellent result for anyone who'd like to purchase his photos!

wow, nice pics, Theo!

Yep, I know the cat's heat shield looks horrible; I haven't decided how to deal with it yet (probably header tape). I'm looking forward to less drag and more downforce at the ROVAL tomorrow...

Stale_Hotdog · 09-17-2009, 11:21 PM

Hey you went with the Raptor exhaust! good choice

Thanks! Love the way it sounds... quiet idle, seems to be pretty quiet on the freeway (I'll find out for sure tomorrow), but outrageous under power and overrun.

Vishus_1 · 09-18-2009, 08:41 AM

Isn't there a concern that it is pointing strait at the clam?

shay2nak · 09-18-2009, 09:17 AM

Looks good, Andy.

+1

I had to add a hanger to rotate mine forward so it wouldn't hit the clam.

RENDERMAN · 09-18-2009, 11:22 AM

apk, your car looks fierce!! have you thought of using heat shield tape instead? It tends to be less bulky.

RENDERMAN · 09-18-2009, 11:38 AM

Another solution would be to purchase a sheet of aluminum from these guys a create a shield cover on top of your heat shield for aesthetics. They have different grades and hole sizes, although I don't know how much clearance you have.

jwwither · 09-18-2009, 01:20 PM

brother took some pictures

Stale_Hotdog · 09-18-2009, 01:32 PM

Oh very nice pics of the red exige. Do you have any hi resolution pics? I'd like to use it as wallpaper

ZJChaser · 09-18-2009, 01:44 PM

That is the best diffuser I have seen.

It's hard to tell from that angle, but the tip actually sticks out past the rear of the clam... it's a little easier to see here:

Nice, I'll have to check it out tomorrow...

shay2nak · 09-19-2009, 10:50 PM

Andy, did you get the smaller eliminator panel for the 5 element? Looks like you have the standard one. The exit of the diffuser sits lower than i've seen. (the naked rear opening is the usual size. With the 5 element it's smaller.)

Good eye, Ara. The ReVerie eliminator actually uses the license plate as a structural element; I wasn't crazy about that for a number of reasons, but the Sector111 V3 eliminator is a little taller. I'm going to fix that when I get a chance, and probably paint it black as well...
