Sweet video! I'm amazed at how quiet it sounds with the stage 2. Is the volume on the video toned down some? My non-SC Exige with stage 2 screams.

chrisp993 · 06-16-2008, 03:44 PM

Well, no, the volume isn't turned down - the Stage 2 got replaced with a Stage 1 a few events back as the Stage 2 was constantly breaking. Hopefully Stage 2 will be back when Lotus / Janspeed have figured out how to weld baffles so they stay in place

UPDATE: Apparently, not baffle problem, but wadding melting - dealer has new revised Stage 2 waiting to fit

UPDATE AGAIN: Guess the revised Stage 2 wasn't up to it either - lasted one track session. Fitted a Larini 8" and so far this is actually holding up

If you check my username on Veoh there are a few different track videos posted - the ones from 2007 and early 2008 at Grattan have the (loud) Stage 2 ...........

some really sweet looking cars in here

Film FX · 07-07-2008, 07:45 PM

Here are a few photos from my first event at Miller. I had gotten the car about three weeks prior. it is an '07 Exige S fitted with harnesses, extinguisher, camera mount, and a tow hook. I used to race a Porsche. The car is unbelievable! I will be racing again this weekend at Pueblo Motorsports Park. Enjoy! Note: Usually this model is stock with the black rims. I opted for the silver version-I like 'em better.

Any home improvement (Lowes or Home Depot) or paint store.

It's called "Painters Tape".

It's a low tack tape that is easy to remove and leaves no residue behind. Available in different widths.

Wayne

thanks, ill take a look at local painters store. The 3-4hr ride up to the track completely blasts the front of the car (enough to make one cuss and possibly even stamp ones feet in frustration) the car apears to see far less damage from the track itself!

beautiful new track between Montreal and Toronto, great fun to drive, the bugs are so bad at night the place should be called Calla Buggy! See for yourself at FLIMP Microsite Viewer
