superdavelotus 122 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Good luck Lee on your purchase. If you are planning any mods then I'll guess we'll be exchanging pms. I love the colour and it will no doubt turn heads! I had thought about a yellow one but my first Lotus Esprit was yellow and fancied a different colour. White was my first choice so i was very lucky to get the colour of my choice. So if you need any help with anything then don't hesitate to ask.

CocoPops 826 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 My Vx220s (one NA from 2005-07 and one SC (260bhp) 2011-15) were both yellow, so I do have a "thing" for bright cars! I would like to add to the Evora but not to the extent I modded the SCVX. Intake, Exhaust to add to the aural sense. Surprised wheels don't seem a common modification for track work? (Team Dynamics etc) I see you can get AD08R in the right sizes for the 18/19. So unless people have other recommendations that's what I'll swap to when the current tyres are dead.

superdavelotus 122 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 I might be able to point you in the direction of a decent sounding and free flowing stainless steel exhaust and decat pipe when you are ready. Also there's a used S evora exhaust on eBay for £82 at the moment but finishes in next day or so if you are interested as a stop gap?I won't be going down the route of supercharging my NA. I will trade it in first, not worth the hassle and cost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
