Is the shift lever still covered with black electrical tape? Might want to use shrink wrap tubing, no?

*Puts on shades* Man Lotus are a car born to wear bright colors well. With those well thought out mods, that car must terrorize at the track!

Wow!

You did ALMOST the same stuf I would have done! I hate to see the Euro exhaust go. I've never seen the carbon centerpiece dividing the footwells...that's great! Love the wheels as well. I'll be in France the 3rd week of March!! Woo hoo!

A small mod I've just done (nothing comparable to the great work you're doing on yours )


Original Nardi wheel:



Sparco + Snapoff kit:



In the car:






The weight gain is insignificant but the wheel feels much better in the hand and (my opinion) looks much better than the original Nardi wheel. Plus being able to remove it is so cool!

If you want to make profit of weight you all transfers that is useless

For example on your photographs in your car transfers the fitteds carpet in the interior and if you have fitteds carpet in the trunk transfers too

Pose it on the balance and you will see the profit of weight

The weight is enemy car

For the wheel for me I find that of origin very well on the other hand control on the right for me it would not be easy

I pose it in French and English because if I included/understood you is French too


Si tu veux faire du gain de poids tu vire tout ce qui est inutile

Par exemple sur tes photos dans ta voiture vire les moquettes dans l’intérieur et si tu as des moquettes dans le coffre vire les aussi

Pose-le sur la balance et tu vas voir le gain de poids

Le poids est l’ennemie de la voiture

Pour le volant pour moi je trouve très bien celui d’origine par contre la conduite à droite pour moi elle ne serait pas facile

Je le pose en Français et en anglais car si j’ai compris tu est Français aussi

I'm not really after the weight saving (my excuse to waste money in this wheel) and want to keep my car relatively usable and "comfortable" hence I keep the carpets and everything. The driver needs more improvement than the car at the moment

ENGINE A STARTS!


I also go in pressing it to make a cross-country race nickel an adjustment suspensions the installation of 3 pressure gauges


Temperature oils, oil Pression and a AEM for the calculation of the mixture Air/Essence


I touch myself to make it pass into 215/50/16 and 235/45/17 out of tires road


Thus I still have work

How do you put the car in reverse? I don't see the lift-up collar on the gear shifter that we have on US-spec cars.
