FVMC is amazing! pics of what they did... - LotusTalk

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 02:31 PM

i have my car at FVMC now and what they do is incredible. i had it transported there two months ago and i should be getting it back within a week. the differences between my local dealership and FVMC is night and day. they give me constant updates, quality work, and even these new pics of her. i had them install the following....
nitron sport pros
sector 111 shifter reinforcer
carbon fiber daytona cold air intake
lotus sport ecu
Toda clutch and flywheel
moroso oil pan
carbon fiber undertray
carbon fiber diffuser
rear panel eliminator
PPE header and sport cat
arqray single tip titanium
here are some before and after pics of her..

and after.....

mpsalm · 05-04-2008, 02:36 PM

Wow nice. The cheque you wrote to them must have been painful though...

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 02:38 PM

yes you are right. but now all i think my car needs is a SC

mpsalm · 05-04-2008, 02:42 PM

Even though the after market options are somewhat limited for our cars. I love the fact that everyones car comes out so different despite the fact the differences can be subtle.

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 02:46 PM

yeah i agree its seems that there are almost no elises/exiges that are exactly the same. everyone has a different parts/looks

RacyTracy · 05-04-2008, 03:23 PM

So many people say so many nice things about FVMC service.....it almost makes me want to buy another Elise, just so I can bring it in and have it worked on.

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 03:35 PM

they are by far the best at what they do. it makes me wish i lived in chicago

Dave · 05-04-2008, 03:54 PM

Car looks nice! One of the best dealers anywhere. The parts mgr, John Nichols, is nothing but a class act.

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 04:10 PM

and twaszak1 has been telling me what has been going on every step of the way. excellent customer service!

OriginalBlackCi · 05-04-2008, 04:13 PM

MNlotus, I saw your car a few weeks ago at the dealership. It looked awesome and the pictures don't do it justice. The carbon GUT wing was fantastic and the base with color matched really well.

Instead of the mod list, maybe you should have just listed what you didn't get installed.

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 05:03 PM

yeah i love the red color with the carbon fiber parts. its just beautiful to me. i miss my car so much. 2 months at FVMC and before that it was stored for winter. i should change my sig to katana SC then.

JimK · 05-04-2008, 05:54 PM

Love that Canyon Red with all the CF! I'd love to see your car the next time I'm in Mpls.

Greenstreak · 05-04-2008, 06:31 PM

Everything looks great.

Who makes teh carbon coil cover?

GTsRasta · 05-04-2008, 06:42 PM

Dude...GET ON A DYNO WITH THAT HEADER AND MODS!!!

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 06:57 PM

yeah i am going to start to go to more events in the area if i can. i am planning on taking my car to a local shop called RS motors which has a dyno. ill do that soon and i also want to get my car weighed but dont know where i can do that at

MNlotus · 05-04-2008, 06:58 PM

i got the carbon fiber from reviere (sp?)

shay2nak · 05-06-2008, 06:38 PM

Well you could have spent all that money on a sc to begin with. Your car would have 215rwhp by now...

MNlotus · 05-06-2008, 09:05 PM

im building up to the SC. i want to go N/A as long as i can.

ill post new detailed pics once i get her back and maybe even a video if i can figure out how to put it on here.
