Nice!

All the CF looks great. Sweet wheels. And I like what you did with the tail lights too. Thinking out loud.. Wouldn't it be awesome if someone make the led tail lights chase in a circle?

(It's also neat to get a pic of one my windshield banners that made it to France)

maintenance work of the frame




For comparison it was like that





In addition to having a better braking large profits of weight 5.70kg origins and 4.5kg...... 9.92 lb Sector 111

Thus 1.2kg...... 2.65 lb of weight in less mass by X4 wheel = 4.8kg of less

place on the photographs

Disc Lotus 5.7kg..... 12.57 lb



Disc Sector111 4.5kg....9.92 lb



the disc is really splendid



xénon H1 6000k



pose harnesses




Here now I will change the engine by an Honda K20A the change is in progress photographs are to be come

am French thus to excuse me if my English is not good

beautiful car, love the color and the carbon interior.

you said you bought it in 2007, is it an '07 model year or earlier? i only ask because i've never seen that style roof (guessing it is a style that never made it over here to the US)

For the exhaust I had a double exit with a weight of 9kg

You have it here

Ultralight Sport Exhaust System : Hangar 111: Lotus Performance Parts for the Lotus Elise Exige & 340R

For the seats they are on 2.4kg but they are made by a professional beside at home they are single to measure

Lava Orange is very single it washed left to Lotus in 2002 and made only 1% of the S2 series and only model very single Tech race thus very

Great car! I am always surprised to see how many race tracks there are in France. I've never heard of this one.
