I need to get my oil cooler recall work done + new radiator etc... My mom lives in Raleigh. The Lotus of Durham would be a practical place for me to get this work done. Has anyone any experience with them ? They did let me test drive a elise SC which sealed the deal for me. I was originally planning on heading to Atlanta. If feedback is positive I could hang out with my mom and sister's family in Raleigh for x days while the work is being done. I don't know anyone in Atlanta so would have to drive back and forth. Thanks and PM me if desired. Motard

I have a 2006 Exige wing for sale. Great condition. It was on the car for almost 60,000 miles but I cleaned it up this morning and waxed it and the top surface was nearly flawless. There are some small scrapes on the rear edge (see pic) but a black sharpie could alsmost fix it. I also have the bolts for it but the washers are a little rusted. $250 OBO plus shipping Attached Images

I have a good condition stage 2 Exhaust for sale. Janspeed LOTAC05391 Just took it off my running exige. Almost 60,000 miles but good condition and no loose parts rattling around inside (unlike a Larini exhaust I recently bought on here Errrrr). The Janspeed stage 2 is supposed to be better built than the earlier CLF exhuasts with better welds. It is loud with backfiring with downshifts but I liked it. I decided to go with an above diffuser exit exhaust just for the aero benefit. $200 plus shipping. Attached Images

Hi guys, I have changed my speakers and had an amplifier in the Elise. While doing this, I came across the Microwave Movement Sensor. I took this opportunity to increase the range of movement sensor. Soon after going this, I tried it, I lock the doors and after maybe 15 sec the alarm start beeping whitout stooping (alarm does not go off, just beeps). I thought that I increased the range too much, so I tried going back to the original range but nothing the car just beeps after I lock the doors. Do you know what the problem could be? Is my sensor broken? Thanks

Fellow enthusiasts, I just wanted to share with you how wonderful an experience I recently had at Wizard Cooling. I have recently been shopping for an aftermarket radiator, and after doing some online research I came across Wizard Cooling. My main concern is that I wanted a true replacement fit, slide out old / slide in new, no modification required aftermarket rad, (since I was going to have to pay my local dealership to perform the install and I wanted to keep labour charges to an absolute minimum), and Wizard Cooling fit the bill. Their website indicated that they were currently working on building an aluminum replacement rad I contacted them via their website and received a reply from their owner; Scott. Scott and I emailed back and forth and he sent me an invite to come visit his shop. My buddy and I drove down to his shop, were given a grand-tour and were both totally impressed. From the professionalism of all of his employees, to his cutting edge technology. From the personal level of attention everyone gave to me, to the expertise and passion he has for building top quality rads. Every radiator regardless of whether they are building a one off custom rad or a 1000 direct fit radiators for the Lotus is first designed in a state of the art, 3-D CAD Modeling system that is linked directly into a CNC machine. All parts are CNC cut to ensure design accuracy and ensure that the finally assembly is built 100% to spec every time. My buddy was so impressed, that even though he bought a competitors rad a few weeks earlier (for his Nissan), he returned to the shop with his OEM Rad and aftermarket one, to have work done on them. I brought the rad to my local Lotus Dealership (Gentry Lane, Toronto, ON) and they said that the unit was a pleasure to work with. It slid right into place with no major modifications required. The only thing they had to do to complete the rad swap was to adjust the size of some of the pre-drilled mounting holes. The entire job took the mechanics at GL 2.25 hrs. For anyone else that values their car, and wants an aluminum radiator to replace the known problematic OEM one, I wouldn?t hesitate to use a Wizard Cooling Rad. Scott is out of this world, his shop is state of the art, and my experience with him made me think that this is what it must have been like 50 years ago when you?d go to your local garage, know the mechanic by name (because you probably saw him every week at church) and he treated you like family. Scott and the employees of Wizard Cooling at class acts. Images to follow shortly.

I am going to put my Lotus Exige S260 up for sale. This is a very hard decision because this is an amazing car. This is car #24 of 27 in North America. It is completely stock except for tinted side windows, a fire extinguisher in front of the passenger seat, and a european stage 2 exhaust. It has a brand new battery and new Toyo R888 tires. It is in perfect condition with 14,100 miles on it. There are no issues with this car and it has never been damaged. Price is $60,000.

Hi everyone, i am currently looking for alternatives to replace the (not so sexy) factory side repeaters on my 08 Elise. Already asked about some options in this thread here: http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f259...ise-sc-145073/ And now i found another interesting solution: Ferrari side repeaters in black (i am looking for black ones for a stealth look on my black Elise). Novitec Black Turn Indicator Set Ferrari 599 GTO 10-12 What do you guys think?

Don't need anything fancy, pretty or weighs less than a butterfly's fart. Just need to be correct size (16" and 17" 4 lug). Looking to spend $400-500 at most. Let me know.
