ONE MORE MONTH
Sorry it feels like I have been waiting forever, ok I almost have....
Yes the beast goes in mid May just in time for my B-day
The intercooler is side mounted in the driver side side scoop. This is sealed off from the engine bay with its own fan so hopefully no heat soak. Got a guy making me up some slightly larger side scoops al a Reverie just to help the air in
The kit is 111R friendly funnily enough had this argument with Mark on Exige.com about if there will or wont be a 280RR market. - Of course there will be because of people like myself and Andy, who would be a lot less p*ssed off with Lotus if they had figured out their product range at the beginning and not a couple of years later!
Basically unless you go for a nearly new 240R which look great value you are going to get hit with depreciation twice once when you sell your current car and two when you drive the new car out the show room
Interesting thought though - the 240R was bought by a lot of first time buyers then look at how many of them have been written off! I think back to how much I have learnt in the last year with the Exige (some would say not much! the way I dug it into the gravel
) and previously the elise. I think I would kill myself if I had gone straight to the 280RR beast.
BTW the kit is making 170 wheel pound feet of torque at 2800 rpm
cant wait!
