Thats odd that you had fitment issues. Those are supposed to have the best fitment that I have come across. It is a wear and tear item its only a matter of time before you crack it hence why the price is so cheap lol

Just updating this for 2013. I have gone through a few more cars. I missed my yellow one so much in late 2011 I bought an orange Elise in addition to my grey exige.





In 2012 I sold both cars and bought this beast







A few months a go I sold my GT3 and picked this one up.









We started data logging before sending out the Exige S240 for a tune.

^ Wow... awesome!

I keep going back and forth with what I want... but keep coming back to the Elise.

PS - how did you like the GT3? What year was that? I have it on my radar as well... although it's kind of low...

GT3 was a 2005 last year of the 996 GT3. This car was stupid fast and stupid loud. I had a muffler bypass on it. I had it up to 187mph. Expensive on maintenance but well worth it. Make sure you check out rear main seal and diff if you're gonna buy one. Make sure you have Porsche do a PPI.

I can honestly say that you have bought more cars in the last year than I have bought shoes.

And I love it! Loving the Lotus and hope to buy one in the next 5 years

if you can buy one sooner id do so. prices are appreciating due to supply and demand. most are wrecked trying to find a clean low milage one owner is almost impossible. My S240 is a 1 owner with 3500 miles. I paid out the ass for it but theres no hidden stories.

Yeah, I've been looking at P-Cars for a while, so know all about the diffs and RMS issues. Would definitely do a PPI on anything before buying.

How do you compare the GT3 to the Elise? I know it's apples/oranges, but you had both and I'd be curious to know your thoughts on each...

performance between NA Elise and a GT3 is defi apples to oranges. The GT3 will destroy it. Exige S240/S260 vs GT3 is a drivers race on a track. GT3 has way higher top end. comfort level GT3 is more comfortable even with the euro race seats that i had. realiabilty/ease of maintenance the Lotus takes it all day long. cheap to maintain in every aspect. If you want to feel like a celebrity and seek attention from random people buy a Lotus. To average people the porsche is just another 911 with a big wing, while the lotus to them seems like a $300k car.

A few friends and I did the EuroSport DC event last weekend. It was small rally lead by Valentino Balboni (Chief test driver for Lamoborghini). It was a really fun time and its my second year doing it. There was about 130 exotics in attendence.



This was our team of cars.

Okay so my white S240 lasted all of 3 months until I found this beauty. I sold the white one and bought this. Its a 2010 Laser Blue Exige S. This int/ext color combo is 1 of 1 in the country. Im currently running a stage 3 exhaust paired with a Larini decat and a VF tune which brings the power up to 260hp

I'll be posting up more pics on instagram feel free to follow me on @onrailsengineering

This is all I have for now. My buddy should have a bunch more that hasnt been editted yet. I have 2 instagram accounts for anyone interested one is for my business and the other is personal.

Business: @onrailsengineering
Personal: @on_rails

if a mod can change the title of this thread to "Slow Type S's Weekend Toys" I'd appreciate it since the title no longer applies.

The blue Exige is the best one yet. That Laser Blue really pops!



Enjoy! It's too bad I have two "fun" cars already, or I'd think of picking one of these up.
