I hope you were able to test drive it. They're a proper experience and not your average road car.
So, if you are going to track it then you'll need a track exhaust. Speak to Jim at 2bular on that front.
If you're not going on track then you're going to love the noise. It's bonkers and addictive.
Upgrades wise...... It's got most cool stuff from lotus fitted as standard..... which is fairly minimalist. Although, those minimalist bits come largely from the Cup 430. J-Hook brakes, Nitron 3 way suspension, forged alloys and lots of carbon. It's got the baffled sump and gearbox cooler too.
On mine I've fitted the AiM MX2E dash and done a fast road / track geo. That's pretty much it for the road.
For the track I've fitted a Seriously Lotus harness bar, Schroth harnesses and fire safety kit.
There's more carbon trinkets out there if you feel flush, but I'd advise you just go out and enjoy it. Lots of polishers in the Lotus community, not so many drivers. They're designed to be enjoyed
Ps. I looked at that car in 2019. It's a cracking colour.
Cool thanks i'll make sure the set up is spot on and get the fast road setup done. It won't get much if any track work as I have a slicks and wings sports prototype for thatSo, if you are going to track it then you'll need a track exhaust. Speak to Jim at 2bular on that front.

From my research of the models it does seem like the 410 already has all the bits you want already and i'm looking forward to the noise so I won't dull it down. I was pleasantly surprised at the 3 way Nitrons being standard
Yes plenty of driving and fun is the plan

I did contemplate this one as well but the colour was a bit marmite, think the Plum is better. I offered the dealer 65k on the Gold one with a deposit there and then but he refused to give a penny, too much of their own importance for my liking. Parkway were much more obliging that Sytner!So, if you are going to track it then you'll need a track exhaust. Speak to Jim at 2bular on that front.

Congrats on the plum car, looks decent! I’ve been bidding on the autumn gold one too, I’ve been to see the car, made an offer but they don’t budge an inch.https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11242411?c...

Offered 65k in the end and still they said no, I hope they get stuck with it Lol
Made me laugh even at full price they were dictating I had to collect by Wednesday,In the end I politely said you are pissing me off I'll go elsewhere thanks,they then tried to tell me I would find another 2020 car anywhere near the price of theirs, poor Sytner, Fools
In the end I wouldn't buy off them out of principle

Congratulations - that colour looks great on the 410 and if it had been available when I got mine back in 2019 would have gone for it in heartbeat - had to put up with Riviera Blue instead so don't feel too sorry for me !
I wasn't sure but now its home I am very pleased with the colour MarkM3Evoplus said:
Lovely car (and colour) Juno.
I have a V6s Roadster and it is great fun, so sure you will love a 410.
I looked at an Aston at Parkway, but found the bloke to be a right to55er, so bought elsewhere
I found dealing great,funny how it can go sometimes!I have a V6s Roadster and it is great fun, so sure you will love a 410.

Congrats! First impressions of the car?The engine feels like a bigger N/A engine,torque is impressive across a wide range and the acceleration is very punchy,I feel it’s as quick or quicker at any point below a 100 than my 991 GT3RS
In many ways it feels like a scaled down GT3RS
The engine noise is one of the best I’ve heard,the flat 6 of the Porsche howls at 9000RPM but I think the Lotus is better overal
It’s a little tricky to get in out but I am getting on a bit now
Just got back from Dub Customs and we have a few ideas for some extra little touches which should be completed in the next month
So far very impressed

Any thoughts on the Aim Dash
Love mine. Especially with the rear camera. All your road and track functions in one easy package.

My fast road / track geo setup.
On the height, you'll need to let it settle for a few days then have it readjusted as it'll drop a little after first adjustment.
Speak to Ian Gilson at Hendy Performance in Eastleigh. They've done a few based on my car now
Cheers for this,awesome info! Good start I’m already using those tyre pressures On the height, you'll need to let it settle for a few days then have it readjusted as it'll drop a little after first adjustment.
