Pretty sad. How much weight was added to this build? Colin is rolling over in his grave. You don't drive an Elise to look BA... you drive a Lotus to push your driving limits. I have removed stereo, speakers and AC. BTW, you don't remove the bumper. You remove the clam. The shift is not weird, second cam comes in at 5400, and Chapman always wanted the stick no more than on hand width away. Need to do the research on what is truly a racing machine for the road. Brand loyalty? You Tube hype? C'mon... You didn't even take it through a turn at speed.
Totally agree with your comments, I don't understand why people feel the need to put aftermarket parts on a vehicle made by lotus? They are renowned for their vechile development and research skills spending thousands of man hours in making their cars the very best they can be. JUST maintain and service the already excellent car. It doesn't need all the aftermarket trinkets.
