New Exige Sport 350

[AdamK]

Brilliant isn't it!? 

[French Frie]

Some say ... That the sump on the 350 Sport is baffled. I don't think so, but does somebody know for sure ?

[NW76]

Its not... do you think you need a baffled sump? 

IMHO as long as you do not intend to use Slicks you should be fine on most tracks...

 

 

[French Frie]

me ? not at all  ! find the wrong word :  Roadster, road use, stock tyres, baffled sump  ... 

that's just because someone on a french forum presumed it was baffled, and I thought it was not ....

It is indeed. A cracker.

Is the super duper (lol) standard stereo Bluetooth equipped in the 350?

[Fortis]

Yeah it's a Clarion unit.

[Rancid]

Thanks

So hands free for phone?

Is there a mic in the car anywhere?

[NW76]

Believe me ... you wont use the handsfree in the Exige even if you have one ...

Better to open the window and shout out loud, guess it's propably more realistic to have conversation

The Clarion has a mic in the front panel, but that's got to be an omnidirectional one, so the pickup will be pants. They do a plug-in mic (RCB-204) that you can position better, I'd go for inside the dial binnacle, on top of the steering column housing, pointing at the driver. That should give a much better pickup.

Yeah the audio will be a bit noisy, but usable at a pinch, when you back off the loud pedal.

I have an Alpine unit but with the mic on the steering column.

It works ok unless the roof is off...

Same on my soon to depart MX-5, on the Sanyo Tomtom nav. You can have a reasonable conversation with the lid down as long as the windows are up and you're not going too fast.

... This news just in. Lotus have now deleted the rear speakers from the Sport 350 "Radio Pack".

Unexpected, but I guess they're not much use really and needless weight must go

When I installed the harness bar I deleted rear speakers and quit the sound insulation. I would say that the sound now is even better 

[Rancid]

Oops

It appears I have inadvertently purchased a new car...
