Is it? Surely renault would want to put the blame on someone else if they could?

If you buy one by the end of feb you get a free hardtop worth over a grand! The above elise is a Type 25, it was a limited run so youll have to look around for a second hand one if you want it! Or get a 111s with the paint job and the new black wheels, tasty!

http://www.lotuscars.co.uk/site_images/Elise_type_25.jpg Id be tempted by this, a good car cover and a mk2 golf gti or another reliable banger

lol Mike its climate control in the clios so doubt that would be the case but would be useful, many car mags admit their tests arent reliable as they left aircon on.

Opening your window doesnt work when sitting in traffic!

Looks ok to me, probably cos im used to my 4x4 arch gap!

wiper blades are disposable items so they wont cover that, tyres are down to driving but get the tracking checked by an independant garage. Id complain about the gasket, dont go down without fighting!

Good job mate, a lot nicer than the super ts which were too small for the amount of spokes they had. Better start with the colour coding now.. Is it lowered 40 or 60?

This as your only car? Id like to say elise but if you dont have a garage i wouldnt bother and it will piss you off if its your only car. A 111s is a great car though. Clio V6, hard one, if youre talking about the mk1 it looks effin great but youll have to spend a a couple of k to bring it up to...

I see them at 22k new in the back pages of car mags

Weyland being a bit blunt there but yeah, it can sap between 5-10% of engine power though to be fair i havent noticed much difference and my car only has 75bhp.

It seems definite that the mods are coming, theyre just taking their time! I wouldnt take it out on Renault as its not their fault, its renaultsport taking their time! I think the ECU will be out first, Dans got a phone number, youll probably find it if you do a search on cup mods. Cheers Rob

I havent had a chance of full on races, but ive managed to keep up with much more exotic machinery around my favourite roads by brands hatch. Ive been all over an FTO, various engined E36 BMWs, and the best of the lot, a Hyundai Scoupe :) Tim - How would you rate the fit/ finish and general...

Well there are many fakes around, usually based on the Carlton GSI 3000 V6 which is still a 150mph motor.

You should always keep contact details of the previous owners for a bit incase things go wrong etc. Do you know the make of suspension?

Those MM action special wheels are nice, were they a limited run or are they still available?

Of course yeah, but remember it wont fit in with the rest of the car as i think every panel on the 172 is slightly different and beefier but theyll all fit on to yours, 3 door obviously. -Rob

Nope privately owned,, not sure what eibach springs they were but sat the car a bit lower, looked very tasty!

jesus, thats all youve done in one year?

lol noo im going to run you over on saturday tom! Anyway you said the experts amongst us which is err no one so had to prove the point :) I should be a northerner.. anyway agreed great car. Speaking of tyres, Dash if you bother looking at this thread i thought id mention i drove a V6 at the...

That damn button

no its the official US site..just not very good. That document you put a link too says what ive just said! "Soon to become a legend, the Lotus Carlton (Lotus Omega outside the UK) is essentially a Carlton/Omega GSi completely stripped and rebuilt by Lotus to become one of the quickest...

Well the new Audi A4 3.0s only have 190bhp and 206lbs/torque

The most important thing is lotus didnt sell the car, so it aint a lotus, get over it. The lotus owners club my dad was in didnt allow carltons! Production figures http://www.lotuscars.com/history/prodfig/prodfig.htmlhttp://www.lotuscars.com/history/prodfig/prodfig.html Year by year...

Look at the badge on the bonnet, what is it? What saloon is it derived from? Who owned Lotus at the time? The carlton is not listed as a lotus production car by lotus themselves, a place of manufacture means nothing. Im not denying its a beaut but it is a vauxhall with a very big hand...

The whole car looks like its just stepped out the factory, good job mate! :D

is he very fat?

Cool nice one! Its a Vauxhall, not a Lotus!

Has anyone put the k-tec manifold on their 1.2? gains??

Its all i have :cry:
