So I sold the Mk2 RS back in Feb in preparation for the house move. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/mk2-frs-2.749865/ I needn't have in the end, but it gave us the flexibility if the need had arisen. It was a great car and I miss it in many ways. They are so much better than some of the reviews on here. Given my annual mileage has remained low, I can have something a little less practical, so stumbled across this on pistonheads and it was too good to turn down.
For those not in the know, it's running the Toyota NA engine with 197bhp. It's pretty tidy with Full Lotus History (10 stamps), just 3 owners from new with 25k on the clock and came with a hardtop which is always a bonus, it has a Lotus Sports exhaust fitted (I am not sure if it has sports cat, need to check).The ride is a little more 'comfortable' than my previous k series 111s, over bumps it is notably better and it just feels tighter (Could be the lower mileage and better maintenance ). No big plans for it, at some stage I will swap the standard Bridgestone rear tyres to match the fronts (AD08s fitted by the supplying dealer before sale), silvervisions and I am contemplating changing the rear diffuser to matt black.
Still using this for my station commute (has not yet let me down!):
Oh and a picture of the new pad for @RDH :wink:
