New owner S1 Exige

[Edmundo2]

Hi All.

I've just become the owner of an S1 Exige, ( part ex against my Sport 410 Evora ). I previously owned an S1 111s Elise.

Car seems great. Its VHPD with a lot of nice bits on it. I'm still acclimatising but on initial aquintance it feels a little bouncy on Yorkshires bumpy B roads.. It's on rebuilt Bilsten PSS10. I appreciate there's probably lots of better set ups out there but I'm not really wanting to spend thousands upgrading as they've been fully rebuilt and are probably adequate for general use but if anyone has experience of them I'd welcome some advice on road settings?

Its running ARB but I've yet to check current damper settings and believe they are single adjustment so not got lots of scope for fine tuning but I'll play about with them to optimise. 

Any concensus re F/R clicks for UK fast road? 

Cheers, Ed

I've asked Lotus about similar in the past. Go from end to end so you know how many clicks there are then stick it in the middle. Adjust to taste from there and congrats, pics please

Yes I'll be able to work out where I am and stiffen a tad from there. Don't won't to destroy primary ride by going to stiff but just feels a little bouncy when trying to get on it on a bumpy surface..

No pics yet in my ownership but a couple here from previous owner..

Colour is "Yulong White". A metallic/pearl that looks white in some lights but almost silver/grey in others. I think it looks great on the S1 curves and all credit to the previous owner as the finish is superb..
