    Okay - I know this doesn't quite marry with the philosophy of "simplicate then adding lightness".<br /><br />But if, like me, you use your lotus everyday and have to go to work in a suit you don't want it to get wrecked by the seatbelt o · 05/06/09

  2. Anti - Rattle Door Striker pins  

    Heard about this issue on the forums and noticed a bit of a rattle appearing on a drive on the snake pass one day.<br /><br />This is the solution.<br /><br />You may have to re-adjust the door pinsa few times to make sure the door shuts sweetly again. · 05/06/09

  3. Aluminim instrument stalks  

    Just thought these brighten the interior up a little.<br /><br />Bit of a worrying install as you have to hack off the old GM stalk with a junior hacksaw!!<br /><br />Tip for those doing this mod - you might find it easier to undo the screws on th · 05/06/09

  4. ITG Maxogen  

    This modification makes a surprising difference to the noise produced on "high cam". It gives the car a fanatastic induction noise at full throttle coming up to the "high cam" changeover.<br /><br />Having lived with this for a while n · 13/10/09

  5. 2bular 8x22 offset silencer  

    This is great. With the ITG induction, this makes for such characterful noise - lotus should have fitted every lotus with this and an induction kit.<br /><br />Great service from Jim Valentine at 2bular with some interesting chat and insight into noise li · 02/06/10

  6. Sector 111 "LIDbone"  

    This is clever, albeit expensive to source as the company who supply it only operate in the US.<br /><br />If you've ever tried to put some luggage in the boot with something in one of your hands, you'll be familiar with the routine: Open boot, li · 02/06/10

  7. Blackwatch Racing Keyfob  

    I never really liked the alarm fob being separate to the key and the whole thing being bulky so took a risk that this US item would work.<br /><br />Ended up being a bit expensive - all in (including the item itself, postage from US, import duty and getti · 17/03/09

  8. Stainless Steel Braided Hoses  

    Difficult to say what difference this made on its own. I did it at the same time as changing the brake pads to Mintex 1144 front and rear, but the two together certainly made a real improvment to standard braking performace. · 02/06/10

  9. Mintex 1144 pads  

    These, together with stainless steel braided hoses I had fitted at the same time, made a real improvement to the standard braking performance.<br /><br />Others have said that these are a bit "grabby" - I have found this to a certain extent, whi · 02/06/10

  10. Aluminium Radiator  

    Difficult to say what difference this has made, though the normal operating temperature of the water does seem to be 5-6 degrees lower since it was installed which can't be a bad thing.<br /><br />The reason I uprated this was that I'd had the hea · 02/06/10
