Exige S

[bruh_la]

Does anybody know if the Exige S has the fifth fuel injector as in the 240R/Cup cars?

Maybe an existing owner could take a look........

thanks Ian

Ask the dealer if it has the fifth fuel injector as in the cup cars.......my dealers demo is already gone and he does not know.

cheers

Hi bruh la, i had my test drive in the exige s today and was just a superb car to drive. I asked about your fifth fuel injector thingy but he did not know sorry.

Why do you need to know such a technical question anyway.

Dealer phoned today to say that my Exige S has left the production line today and its in the trim shop to have the sports seats retrimmed in black leather with blue stitching.
I should get the car at the end of next week

I am trying to work out how easy it would be to upgrade to 240cup power output. When all the hardware is identical and its just a different map (for emissions etc) then it would clearly be a simple task to upgrade.

Why not just buy a used 240 Cup? If a specc'd up S is going to be £40k, then surely that's a smarter choice? One in the classifieds I believe for about £38k!

too obvious!

There are no used cups in germany, i do not want the cage ,extinguishers, accusump etc, i need a new car for tax reasons and my S was built last week.

I beleive there are some differences, for example the different Cat that I've just found out was fitted to the 240R and looking at the 240 against the S cars there are some differences to the intercooler pipes (smooth bore to rough cast) not sure what differences these really make. The challenge would be to convince Lotus to release the ECU map to you as it is encrypted and passworded so no third parties can currently fiddle with it.

The other thing to note is the 240 cars only come with a one year not two year as the production cars.... maybe Lotus know something... hopefully I'll not be the one to find out!
