The strionger „internals“ for the manual gearbox are not listed online ... thats what you should ask for... but I think they are originally from @Hangar 111?!?

@geartox if you really want it I am pretty sure Daniel would do it on your car as a first ... would probably take some time though ...

Yep for the manual! @Hangar 111 too btw ... but I think still sign above 500 NM is an issue w/o a sequential box ...

Thats the EX500 Kit

I have 458hp ... anyway I fully agree. The EX500 is far off my list on what to do... there are many other things...

@Jokke Vlo thanks for the feedback. You are pretty spot on. So that means you are keeping both? Or are you planning to sell the Lotus? @geartox no real need for a EX500 ... the EX460 iähas more than enough power and even more just brings more trouble and is not going to really make you faster. @Jokke Vlo wrote above what some of the remaining areas / challenges are with an EX460 with regards to laptime ... I would always fix those first ...

Wow ... thats a jump ... but anyway if you never jump you never know 😉👍

Will be very interesting to know how much it really is ... I would guess right now ... 80-100k EUR all in ... @Vipers btw how fast of a track day driver have you been before taking the plunge into the deep end? Have you ever been to Spa and still remember your approx best laptime?

Thanks for sharing this Paul!!! I really enjoyed reading it. You are leaving the dream pretty well

You need to be clear about what you want: Daily? imho no Lotus at all - at least in Germany... spare part availability still is an issue ... I know a dealership that had an Evora 400 stranded for weeks due to a „software issue they couldnt fix“ ... with Lotus you still have to be willing to compromise ... I have written EMails to customer service to speed up getting spare parts ... never had to do this with BMW... within 24h max they replace everything .... Fun? Lotus all the way but probably the Exige at least for my taste ... #becauseracecar A little bit of both?!? the M4 wasnt a bad choice ... I have a AC Schnitzer tuned M4 as my daily ... love it ... if you want a step up? 991.2 GTS is a good choice ...

Interesting ... looks like laptimes are pretty close ... but certaily more to come in the GT3 ... my guess would be its a couple if seconds faster than the EX460 due to the pdk ...

Sounds like you are getting serious ...

You need the motorsports front splitter now - else it will look strange 😉

I think its an Eltech Wing ...

In theory ... no one ever checks for it ... anyway - having one makes just sense imho in particular if your car is tuned ...

The oposite is not easy either ... should I get a new car? „to hell NO, you already have more than you can drive and you keep spending more money on modifying them then I spend on shoes“....

Hey hey ... I know I have two little ones at home as well ... hope my son will at least be interested at some point in time ... wont be able to convert my wife despite the fact that she drives a Porsche ... she doesnt even use the Sport button ... The AutoBlip is a 1.5-2h install if you know what you are doing ... can be switched on/off easily with the push of a button.

Imran: I am jealous ... my better half has no interest in motorsports and maybe has joined me in the Exige once or twice max ... never would she go on track with me ...

Thanks Arun!!!!

Ok ... got it ... looks like its going to be glued on...

How do you install the rear hatch?`

Worst case you can install a remote controlled valve ...

Ok - from the pictures I fully agree ... thought it will look better in the flesh ...

Back to topic: @GFWilliams I ve been looking at your pictures with the yellow Cup 430 ... what do you think of the new way to mount the license plate? How does it look in direct comp in the flesh?

Like that ...I might copy the engine cover ... @Seriouslylotus could you PM me know how much shipment to Germany would be and give me an idea how to install? Thanks a lot!
