exige s new pics

so in the last 4 weeks the gear box syncro broke so got it fixed under warrnty, previous owner couldnt change gear. ive had it lowered 30mil, and got carbon side scoops.

also got some luke harness;s which should save my life as there is no airbag..

just debating weather to go decat? i either want it super loud or keep it quiet like it is now

finally getting used to the grip but really need to take it to a trckday to find the limits because im frightended of totalling it, first rear wheel drive car ive had.

hope u like

Congrats! Love Ardent Red!

You should consider getting the Stage 2 exhaust from Lotus. The aftermarket ones are probably cheaper, but I love the sounds!

Here is a video of mine doing a few flybys on the track with the Stage 2 pipes.

They get quite raspy when you remove the cat on the 2zzge/fe engine. Be ware of your lift bolts on that particular engine they do snap quite often. Also check out monkey wrench racing for lots of goodies

Looking forward to mine hopefully next year or sooner if you keep posting pictures!

What is is with you and running with virtually no petrol in your car! When I picked up Tommy's I ran out by the end of his drive lol Admittedly it was a long drive but he came and sorted me out! Pull ya finger out Ralston and keep it brimmed!

Car is looking mega, especially love the carbon side scoops but you have to get the stage 3 exhaust as it sounds like a super car at full chat. The 111R has the stage 2 and whilst that's ok, it's nothing compared to the noise your MINI made through the London tunnels yesterday mate
