Has anyone else dealt with GSXtasy for some lift stickers??? I paypaled him the money for some stickers like 1 1/2 months ago and never had an answer from him, i have tried emailing him through his website, paypal and LT but he doesnt reply so... have i been ripped off or did he had an accident that i didnt know about?? Any body has the same problem?? Its not the 10 bucks but i really want my stickers and dont know what to do.

For sale is a pair of sill/rocker-panel paint protection film (like Starshield) from LotusUSA. These films cover the area behind and below the side scoops from cones in AutoX and rock chips due to the protruded body. However, this does not cover the rocker panel area below the doors. Starshield sells that piece that covers the entire rocker panel. The passenger side is in new condition. The driver's side has a couple creased edges due to shipping (see pictures). I believe installation with a heat gun will remove any visible creases. Aftermarket full coverage rocker panel films usually go for $200/pair. These are $95 shipped. Driver's side (upside down) Driver's side crease #1 Driver's side crease #2 Passenger side Shipped in this exact tube.

Lotus 0-60 Times & Lotus Quarter Mile Times | Lotus Esprit V8 0-60, Exige, Elan, Eterne, Elise and new 2012 and 2013 Lotus cars 0 to 60 stats! First of all, the standard elise 2005 does it in 4.3, but the 2005 elise SPORT PACK does it in 4.6? How does that make sense? Also, you would think a SC 2008 Elise would be quicker, but this says it does it in 4.4! How can a newer car, with more horsepower be a tenth of a second slower? Or is this whole thing just about as wrong as can be?

Found out the other day that I'm going on a business trip to Singapore next week. (Batam, Indonesia actually but hotel is in Singapore) I have a 12 hour layover in Frankfurt on 6/1, and will have the weekend of 6/8 + 6/9 free in Singapore before leaving Monday night. My friend says I can't be in Germany and not head over to the N?rburg ring. About 2 hours from Frankfurt, assuming I can find a way over there.. Looks like ~ $200 to drive a Toyota GT 86 (Scion FR-S?) for a lap, or about $300 to have a race driver whip you around in a 560HP BMW M5.. (Aston Vantage not available that day..) Very tempting!!! :evil: I haven't had the Lotus long enough to properly "enjoy" driving a performance car so I'm not sure it'd be worth it to drive myself; though still could be fun. (I drive a track like Grandma, even in the Gallardo we got to do some laps in.. Buddy slid the thing around the track through the cones! :) ) As for Singapore... No idea! I'm not the type to hang out in a bar all night; there's got to be something to do there for a couple days.. Don't have a whole lot of cash to bring, and the company probably won't cover anything too crazy. ;) Figured some more travelled people may have an idea or two!

Sports Cars Don't Really Attract Women who's be this lucky car?

I have a set of barely used front-only engine mount inserts from Sector111, sportINSERTS, used for less than 2 months. I decided to use only the rear inserts (between engine and muffler) on my exige. I recommend using only 1 front or rear motor mount insert for most street eliges. With both front and rear inserts installed, I had a significant annoying vibration that itched my nose all the time when idling. Having only one of the inserts reduces the majority of the fore/aft engine motion, increasing throttle response and protecting exhaust mounts, with insignificant increase in vibration. -new unopened grease packet comes with front inserts Please text me at four-oh-four-644-4230 for quickest response so that I can ship out today if I'm PayPal'd, johnpham (AT) gatech.edu, by 2pm EST.

I have a used but in good condition 2006 exige OEM side scoop in stock semi-gloss black. The grill does not come with it and can be transferred from your side scoop if needed. I personally used Devcon rubber adhesive as recommended on this forum from the local Ace Hardware store to apply my passenger side grill which has been problem free for a couple years.

My Lotus needs to be inspected but I'm not too sure whether it will pass inspection. Should I first take it to a state inspection station and see if it passes and if it doesn't then take it to a private station or should I take it to a private station first? I guess my main question is that once a state inspection station fails you, would it then be more difficult for a private station to pass you even if they would have in the first place? Thanks.
