indeed,
that exhaust is absolute porn.... the quality looks top drawer
the whole thing looks brilliant (a tiny suggestion if i may be so bold - please trim the heat shield around the 'holes' in the chassis - that bit did draw my eye a tiny bit) and will go like an absolute stabbed rat.
In all seriousness, are you going to bring torque in gradually throughout the different gears, or are you planning to just bonfire the tyres straight out the gate?

Can't afford to replace tyres on this very often, so gently does it, - need to keep traction as much as possible I think.
that was kind of my point, tbh..you can limit torque by gear with the right ECU. For example say, 50% in first, 60% in second, 85% in third and all of it thereafter. Ferrari did that with the 488, and this will likely have a significantly better PWR than that...
Yep, Efi parts Runcorn - https://www.efi-parts.co.uk
He has an online shop and also the dyno.
He's a top bloke and extremely knowledgeable, he's multiple UK and Europe drag car champion. His dyno is a no bulls
t accurate set up, my car could be 460bhp on some dynos. ( i have proof )
You have to book appointments well in advance, literally months. People travel from all other the country to get their cars tuned by him.
I would recommend him 100%, he's an after market ECU specialist and even writes his own software, clever bloke, not a grease monkey.

Thank you, that's really helpful I'll make contact with him and arrange to book it in there when I'm ready, still got quite a bit to do yet.
Where abouts are you? I'd really appreciate a good look over your car to see how certain things have been done. I'm stuggling at the moment in trying to get my clutch slave cylinder connected up to Lotus braided hose.

I have nothing really worthwhile to add as I have no valuable knowledge with anything you’re doing, however. It looks absolutely fantastic! Body work looks awesome and that colour seems to work better on your lotus than most of the things Porsche have put it on. It’s such a fantastic colour in person.
I will follow with interest as it seems fantastic so far.
