The conversion was carried out by Martin and Steve Edwards at LotusPower.

Civic Type R 6 speed gearbox paired with the Elise parts quick shift kit
Colour coordinated Silicon hoses
Secondary high power fuel pump and swirl pot.
‘Link-Up’ baffled sump supplied by Maidstone Sports Cars (spec’d by me)
Jackson Racing Super Charger running at 8psi with a Hondata KPro ECU. Includes big fuel injectors and inlet manifold. ( Complete kit was supplied and setup by Guy Chamberlain at CPL Racing).
Accusump (spec’d by me)
TODA Racing balanced lightened flywheel and puc clutch (hence the heavy clutch pedal) (spec’d by me)
CDA cold air induction kit
OMEX shift light
LotusPower stainless steel 4-1 manifold (for supercharged installations) with ‘track friendly’ back box
Uprated driveshafts
Remote oil filter
Internal electric fan controller

Martin and Steve at LotusPower have looked after K20 EXG, since I bought it, as if it was their own. They are a great bunch of guys who have a lot of passion for the marque, never ending technical ‘know how’ with the Exige and well known in the ‘Lotus forum’.

K20 EXG has been lightened in preparation for race use. The original air con unit and plumbing has been removed and the battery dropped for a lower centre of gravity. The glass behind the driver has been replaced with a custom aluminium bulkhead that is compliant with the current LoTRDC technical regulations. All that it required to complete this task is to introduce a ‘blue book’ approved roll cage and external electrical cut off switch.

No expense has been spared in the development of this car.

Sale is being looked after by Jay. Feel free to ask any questions.

I think an iconic car like yours deserves a little more effort on spelling and grammar from the dealer tbh, it doesnt sell the car whatsoever and comes across as cheap and lazy.

Shocked to see your advert :shock

Hope you don't mind, but I've copied your post to exiges.com, where it will get plenty of views (but hopefully, no wannabe timewasters - don't mean you Matt, as I presume your post was in jest).

PS Totally agree with Coot's comments too!

Cheers chaps.

SimonE - I know...but I just don't get the time to use it anymore and it's such a shame to have it left standing in the garage.....are you interested? :)

Coot - when we read the narrative for the car we were quite shocked too. I did speak to Jay about it and although he wanted the used the content supplied by us, his ads are controlled by AutoTrader and the content you can supply is very restricted and basic. He did say he was going to re-post the advert once he had some piccies....so will speak to him again regarding corrections.

Pesky - no probs and many thanks :)

designer - nice one, cheers fella ;)

What Jay needs is a web site where he can edit his own content, show larger images and look much nicer. Coot, know anyone ;)

Mine went via Pistonheads, always worth a punt on there too, and you can use your advert and pictures.

And if you post via firefox it will even spell check it, save those exspensive mistakes - luckily yours isnt convertable.

Not being petty, its just that in the current climate you need to stand out to get a sale - first impressions and so on.
