I know this has been covered a thousand times and everyone says it cant be done, I just wondered how even the big tuners like superchips can advertise mapping improvements and get away with it if there isnt any possibilities? Has anyone ever tried one? https://www.superchips.co.uk/BuyOption/ECU-Remap/Lotus/Exige-S-MK1-2013/Petrol/3-5-345-bhp/stage-1

Knocked this up this morning. (My cars red) Maybe someone should make one for the new electric lotus's i,e COMPLICATE and ADD WEIGHT

Hi again Got a tyre depth gauge and they are generally around 5mm

Sorry just seen this. A friend had a pair with under a 1000 miles on so resolved, but thanks. Martin

Sorry, just seen this. Theres plenty left but I havent got an accurate measure. Things to remember is that cup 2's come with around 5mm to start so the pictures show theres is plenty. I'll try and measure today and get back to you if your still interested. Martin

Thanks, good suggestions.

215 45 ZR17 (91Y) Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres Fitted July 2021, have done 3600 miles (taken off the car Sept 22). Condition, good all round Cost £150 ono for the pair. Pickup only.(West Sussex) Can send many more pictures via email.

Anyone swapped there original manifolds for a 2tubular setup etc and still have there originals? Martin

Thanks chaps, perfect info and just what i was hoping for. Martin

How do you remove the sills in our cars? As many have fitted carbon covers I hope there are some top tips out there. Thanks in advance Martin S

When we couldnt get cup 2's I went to Bridgestone potenza sports and they have been great on road and track. Way better than the Pirelis and very close to cup 2's. Now getting a second set so if anyone needs some front cup 2's, get in touch. Martin s

Seems I missed that run, shame the bloke talked the whole time over it. Sadly thats not the engine covers they use, its a properly plain ugly thing. Good to see a real car in action, thank you. Shame it seems Lotus have lost a lot of money and are laying off 200 people. Lets hope they can sort things out and get going fully.
