Question I posted to Toyota Racing Development (TRD):
"Will you be creating any performance products for the forthcoming US Lotus Elise? Will any of the performance parts for the 1.8L Celica GT engine fit on this? Any information you might have would be appreciated. "

Answer from TRD:
"Unfortunately TRD has no plans to offer parts for the Lotus Elise.
(Hugs and Kisses)
TRD Help"
Okay, they didn't put in the Hugs and Kisses part, but I know they wanted to.
Perhaps a contractual issue with Lotus, who knows. I do look forward to some of the more adventureous on these forums to keep us posted as they use the TRD parts or others to raise the performance bar a few notches. Shame TRD will not be offering up sanctioned bolt ons.
I'm sure Lotus Motorsport will eventually be offering their own performance upgrades, right?
