Well done Tim.

It is always nice to buy a car you know and belongs to a friend.

Indeed Nick - Alex and I have talked loads about it and I'm very confident that I'm buying one the best car out there which is for sale right now, and indeed which has been put together.

I'm so excited I can't tell you. My girlfriend is too, which is nice, so no objections there. Hoping to have it in time for Brands.

Yeah but no, but yeah, but no etc. This car has bags of character of it's own. It's a worthy successor to EB2.

it's a credit to Alex. He and I have very similar ideas on what should be done where, how and by whom, and nothing has been scrimped on his car. The only better one I've seen is bogies. I'm excited about it.

I plan on it being with me for a very long time. In NA form it's already WAY more car than anything I've ever had before, and Alex has done a superb job with the upgrades every step of the way until now.

I have some ideas, we'll see how they come off once I have done the deal with Alex and it's all mine. Nothing drastic, just the next steps on the interior to complete the work Alex started.

Sorry - I cant get access to the full stats of the car. Is it a standard ECU? has the vtec crossover been modified in any way?

I'm sure you'll like it mate, as I said, we have very similar ideas of what works and what doesn't, my idea is to mix it up between how Rick went and how Neil Bradleys car was.

Not sure about the ECU, Alex will be able to tell you more on that. It has the Link-Up kit as supplied by Mr Scuffham and installed by Maidstone Sports Cars. I do know that the kit includes a remap. It's insanely quick and superbly balanced. Alex has done so much to the car to get it 'right'... Baffled sump, lightened flywheel, uprated rad, Nitrons, OZ's, adjustable ARB, Ali-belled discs with pagids, harnesses... I'm sure there's more, but basically, if it's worth doing, Alex has done it.

Thanks Rene. I showed the pics and stats to an American friend who's a car nut last night and he thinks we're all maniacs... but he can't wait to come to England next year and meet the Lotus guys and gals and see our cars.
