David Standing Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I am at war with my unreasonable neighbours, so the exhaust is on LOUD when I enter and exit my property 😁 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toqcars Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I guess you are launching your Exige with 6500 RPM 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds consistently loud everywhere and doesn't get exponentially louder at 4500rpm like others describe. I don't mind but I can't go out in the morning without waking up the household and neighborhood 🤣 sssh! Keep that to yourself otherwise everyone will want their exhaust valve's to be the same! Haha! There are threads on it around here that show how simple it is, probably a hose loose in the engine bay.

Toqcars Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Is the TFT dash in in the Final Editions the one with the GPS datalogger? Is it the same as offered in the ‘plug and play’ Digital Instrument Pack from the 2020 or is it some lite variant of it without the GPS logger? Anyone knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Downey Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 It is a 'lite' version. No GPS. I think it is the same hardware, so presumably could be upgraded with add on modules like the gps, but i have no idea if this is possible or offered by Lotus, haven't heard anything about that.

Toqcars Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Upgrade would be cool. What do owners prefer, Lotus Digital Instrument Pack or AiM solution. As far as I understood, AiM allows more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Downey Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Yes AiM original unit would be better with lots more features. Doubt anyone has bothered to replace the factory version with one yet, but don't see why it wouldn't work if you wanted to. AFAIK The factory version offers no benefit over the AiM one at all. But it comes with the car so, cool, i guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt W Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 The one that comes with the car isn't upgradable to Aim firmware. I also tried to find out if lotus was going to do an upgrade pack but never got a reply. There was a thread on one of the forums where someone bricked the factory unit putting the aim firmware on. I don't think the factory one is particularly good, its very basic and somewhat sluggish in its response to rev changes. Feels like more of a gimmick.

Feels like more of a gimmick. That’s a pity. Make sense for 390, but for 410/430 they should go all in and put the best dash. Could be they had some type approval issues and created lite versions. But as far as AiM exists and forks on FE cars, I am happy. Will use RaceChrono or Harry’s Laptimer for the first track activity. Thanks for clarifying differences between them.

Inversed Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 There is few Final Editions out there in unlisted colors. We are all aware of Davids Plum Crazy Exige, but I found out about another two still on sale in France. 420 in Championship Gold: https://roadracingcenter.com/portfolio-item/exige-final-edition-sport-420-championship-gold/ 430 in Airforce Blue https://roadracingcenter.com/portfolio-item/lotus-exige-cup-430-airforceblue/ What do you think? I really like both ones and I'm also kinda sad that I didn't know more about Lotus colors before specing mine from configurator. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my choice, but there is so much more there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Standing Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I like the gold one, but would have specced it with black pack delete, and with black wheels 😎 18 hours ago, Inversed said: There is few Final Editions out there in unlisted colors.

Troyboy Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 They both look great but I prefer silver wheels. That air force blue with the carbon barge boards and silver finish looks incredible. The gold colour looks more retro to me. Wow to both. Thanks for posting.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my choice, but there is so much more there That place seems to spec some interesting cars. I saw they had an ad for a Nightfall blue/Monaco white V6 Exige at one point, like my beloved Elise Sports Racer. I've never seen another Exige like it. That is my favourite colour combo on and Elise S2, but as nice as it was I'm not sure it really suited the Exige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes it 2023 so it seems such a long way off. I would love an Exige now but can't afford one until next year and then the Emira hits me. There is also the small chance I will prefer the i4! So I will wait. small chance prefer i4, believe me there isnt ,old adage get what you pay for never beeen more true and 1/2 million pound performance for 100k fully kitted 420 ,absolute bargain exige all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
