details checking at the bodyshop of Niche car(Lotus only distributor in Thailand) before picking her up. Just look at how wide she is!!!!!!

Ladies and gents, I'll post pic of the whole car tomorrow after pickup. From the look of it, i might need bigger rims and wheels 17/18 setup. ( i know i know, its going to affect the original exige's setup, i did the search

) Any suggestion? i might need bigger rear spoiler too....hmmmmm
Till then, drive safely everyone!

bigger brake kit if you're going 17/18s!!! you have more room to fit bigger brakes and the stock brakes look puny otherwise

Looks great - any plan for wider tires?

Okay... so you're selecting bigger brakes on how they look AND on the fact that there's more room?

Generally, isn't one of the reasons to get bigger wheels is for bigger brakes? Look at the huge wheels on lambo/ferrari

heavy wheels, but bigger brakes makes it worth it

The other reason, it sounded like he was getting bigger wheels for looks, but if he wanted it to look good without scrawny brakes, I was suggesting he get bigger ones

pkhot915 · 06-09-2008, 08:00 AM

hold on bros, i was shooting my tv shows all day. Tomorrow, they said i can pick up my baby, but i got a morning radio show, then my other tv show..aarrrhhhhhhh

sometimes you just wanna put everything away just for a drive with your baby

But promise is a promise, tomorrow night Bangkok time, i'll deliver my promise. Oh! but she will be without her rear spoiler. Im getting it enlarges n carbon fiber to compliment the wider rear. The thought of paying $2,200 for a rear CF spoiler is a little hard to swallow (with the economy n things).

Night guys, it's 10pm here in bkk,

I really like it

well...not really....but its a PAIN IN THE ASS because there's a trick to closing these doors...

when you close them down, you need to lower them gently and brace them untill they stop going down....then close them like a regular door...

unfortunately, the passenger thinks you can just throw them down and then after a while they door wont close right and you have to recalibrate the door...

i also had a pair on my show-accord years ago, so i konw how much of a PITA they are.....but the attention they get is preetty astounding

and im pretty short, so i think it would be easier for me to get in and out of the car with the "lambo" doors...but as i stated before, there are no lightweight, better built quality options out there just yet...i too also know cus i used to OWN a tuner shop hehehe

you guys DO know, the actual/real lambo vertical door system and these "aftermarket" ones are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM...

the real ones you pull stright down and it closes...

these aftermarket ones you have to pull them in a "L" shaped. meaning you pull them down, and then you pull them in (like a regular door)

/////edit

btw, flux, i saw you on the 55S a few weeks ago...

Whats the go with the wide body as far as mechanicals are concerned?

Do you just run spaces on the wheels or are we talking longer drive shafts, modified wish bones etc??
