GTI-Guy Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I AM DROOLING! This would be the car I would be looking for for my 50th b-day in two year's time I love how you've got it set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynone4 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for the compliment. Wish it were going to a good home - but I may be trading it off tomorrow for something I can drive year-round in the midwest.... a *gulp* Mazdaspeed 3. I'm afraid that "practicality" gene I've been fighting all my life might be starting to rear its ugly head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bows head in moment of silence) Bummer, but your choice of the Speed 3 is a good Swiss Army knife solution that commands respect among the sport compact crowd Another bummer that you can't sell it ... let me know what they offer on trade and I'll see what I can do, at least I'm a "good home" ... I'm pm you my personal email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorrFam Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Having driven a 3 on the track, I would say you will find it better than you think. It is even getting some aftermarket stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynone4 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Good to hear that the Mazda is a fun as I had hoped! The dealership wanted to steal the Lotus away on trade - so I've put the stock exhaust back on, and removed the harness and harness bar to sell separately. I'm going to sell it on my own rather than "give" it to a dealership. I've also adjusted the price a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmrumedy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm afraid that "practicality" gene I've been fighting all my life might be starting to rear its ugly head. Just trade it for an Exige......hey...it has a roof!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTI-Guy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a dumb question regarding the Exige ... if not an Exige S, the supercharged engine, then other than the roof, what are other substantive differences between an Elise and an Exige? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynone4 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well - bodywise, I believe the Elise and Exige only share the doors as being able to share body panels. The front and rear clamshells are completely different (and slightly wider than the Elise, and hand made). The seats are different. ...and I believe the only other difference with the NA Exige is that they had a bit more downforce at top speed - giving them slightly better stick on the track. There may be some other differences that I'm forgetting right now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTI-Guy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ah, thanks, I did not think they were as different as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moliver Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 What size person are you? I am 6' tall and weight 215, with a size 13 shoe...will I fit? I am fit not fat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynone4 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 What size person are you? I am 6' tall and weight 215, with a size 13 shoe...will I fit? I am fit not fat... I'm 5' 11" and weigh 225. My feet are a little smaller at size 11 -1/2 - but I imagine you'd fit. It does take a fairly narrow shoe to fit on the gas pedal without fouling the brake pedal, though. It took me a bit to find a nice narrow dress shoe for work that fit well on the pedals. Are you close to central Illinois? If so, you're welcome to come see if you fit in it. I guarantee if you sit in it, you'll want it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
