Its all in the research bro. I dont get anything from sector or hanger 111.

Ive seen things on their site for twice as much as you can find them elsewhere.

I got the lip in group buy on the Lotus Talk forum which in my opinon lotus talk sucks ass. I think they were having a group by on a carbon fiber one just recently I think.

Head over to British speed. I got a much warmer welcome over there.

I have every manual you can think of for the car. Go here http://www.lotustechinfo.com/subscriber_new.asp

Pay 25 bucks for 24 hours access and download everything.

 

I started a thread at british speed and Ive been just asking questions on things I truly have trouble answering on my own after researching. things just arent as easy to find as they are for a TL

Come join in. Im a total noob over there still. http://britishspeed.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2085

 

Heres another shot.



I dont want to steal your thunder here. If you have any other questions just shoot me a PM

Congrats on the purchase. Get ready for looks at every single fucking light you stop at. hence, the reason I tinted my windows.

 

Im not at that point of driving it yet. You need to worry more about jacking the damn thing then anything else right now

 

Thanks im about to join britishspeed. Yea i briefly read the thread looks like its a real pain in the ass

 

woww bro!!!!!! congrats!!!! That thing is a beauty!!!!!! hope to see it at some meets!

 

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

im driving that at the MA meet in a few weeks !!!!!

 

LOL im gonna tell you what I told everyone else that made that comment. you can drive along side the drivers side its kinda like driving it lol

 

yeah I quit letting people drive mine after I found out how much the front and rear clams are

 

haha yea i dont think id actually drive it anyway, i have awful luck, you know this lol
yea i want a ride in it tho im excited!!!

btw did i tell you about the thank you card I got from that verizon store. It said something like this
Carrie i want to thank you and "YOUR WHOLE CREW" for coming in

LMFAO he capitalized it like that and everything, when i read it i was dyyyyyyying. That guy loved us

 

lol thats how we roll

 

yea man those are sooo expensive. I'm so screwed if something happens. i read about your grille being knocked out, did you get it fixed?

btw my name on britishspeed and lotustalk is Lowtush

 

no not yet. Looks kinda cool without the grill.

 

Well i finally have the car and so I took some pics

 

great looking cars

 

Looks great!!! That blue one is bad a5s!

 

yeah the blue one is absolutely amazing

 

Are you keeping the stock wheels or will you upgrade at some point?

 

I was thinking about powder coating it black and calling it a day. You got any suggestions im all ears. FYI fronts are 16" and rears are 17"

 

That's a great idea IMO because they're really nice OEM wheels, but there's something about the blacked out look on the blue one that would definitely work with yours. I say go for it!

 

Quick chop to preview...

 

omg. want

 

OoooOoOoooOOooo nice pics, Im still waiting for my ride in this thing.
i suppose ill be patient lmao

 

Ok I'm sold on the black wheels

what do you think about the black gas door too

 

wow that's nice. I love these cars and that yellow is NICE. Black gas door would go well with the black wheels but even if you decide down the road to get different wheels that are not black it would still look good

 

This car is amazing! I rented one in Hawaii (convertible Elise - yellow) while I was on my honeymoon and I received looks everywhere I went. Driving that beautiful car and pushing 110 on H1 highway was a blast! And the convertible helped as well since I could take in the beautiful scenery.

I want to get one as well - but I'll have to wait until I pay off my mortgage haha

 

and for "Niner Faithful" and the Dwight Clark avatar

 

 

You win.

 

I took the top off. what do you guys think of this pic

 

That's a great pic, did you do the photography yourself?

 

By the way you need a nice CF front lip.

 

yea i did it myself

parts dont come cheap. for the amount im gonna spend on a front lip i can buy 3 TL lips

 

Weird, I didn't know the aftermarket on a Lotus would be expensive.

 

i found an intake that cost close to 800 i was like wtf. apperently the ecu relearns and you lose your gains so its a complete waste of money

 

nice pic man. And yea, lip for sure. You are in the "exotic" crowd now, can't bitch about prices

 

Actually, all things considered most of the mods for the Elise are not that expensive. Partially b/c it's a Toyota engine and drive-train. Custom parts like Carbon Fiber lips, etc cost about the same for a Lotus as they would for most other vehicles...

 

But it'll be worth it.

 

Wow, awesome looking cars! I always stare when I see them on the road (Sorry Trance!).

Congrats on the pickup, Slow!

 

yea you'd be surprised at how many people actually walk up to you and strike a conversation. mostly cause they have no clue what it is. the worst one i get is "how much did you pay for that?" and then they dont believe the price Im just gonna start telling people its a $120K
