I encourage all seriously interested parties to come
and see/drive my car in person, there aren't many examples like it left. This car is in amazing condition and runs (and sounds) great. I am the 4th owner, only one of the previous owners ever raced it, although the one before me changed a few things because he'd planned to (see below). The one time it was raced it was one weekend of Autocross, and he used painters tape around the car to prevent any
damage. I've had it a little over a year and have only put a little over a thousand miles on it. I baby it and only take it out with the kids to get ice cream or to give it a good run on the highway. It's always been garaged and extremely well taken care of. I'm selling it because I'm considering leaving the corporate world to buy my own business so, unfortunately, I need the cash more than a sports car right now. 2005 Lotus EliseArctic Silver Black interior 23,529 miles Touring Pack Starshield(Now Removed) Leather Center Console Modifications(Have all stock parts save intake manifold): -Sector111 Katana Supercharger (245hp, as reliable as stock but way more fun!) -Sector111 Bootie -Sector111 Aluminum Carpet Buttons -Quicksilver Sport Exhaust -Moroso Oil Pan (6qt capacity) -LETSLA Shifter -BOE Catch Can -BOE Wheel Studs -CG Lock for driver seatbelt -RLS Small rearview mirror -Carbone Lorraine RC5+ Brake Pads -Full mesh kit installed -Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature Gauges -Heel-Toe brake pad extension -Shower Cap -BLP-1 Brake Light Pulser -Hella Horn -Indoor Fabric Cover -Optima Red-Top Battery -BWR front plate mount -Nukey -Stock exhaust midsection has been ceramic coated and wrapped with Mishimoto Titanium heat wrap to safely allow heatshield removal. -Difflow Diffuser, 5 Element Railer Jr. -Quantum Zero Coilovers Included extras: -Extra set of front steering arms milled for around total -1.5Deg camber -Braille Battery Mount -Battery Tender -Stock brake pads with 80% life -Factory center console -I printed the full workshop manual and its now in two large 3 ring binders.

Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?
Fri, Jul 15 2016The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:
Lotus opens the 2013 Formula One season with the launch of the E21 [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Lotus has broken the seal on the 2013 Formula One season, launching the E21 car at its factory in Enstone. With the regulations this year quite similar to those of last year, there are no dramatic changes in form compared to the E20. After some teams lobbied to be able to cover the stepped nose with a "vanity panel," Lotus retained the configuration, the team's technical director saying that the panel would add more weight and didn't make sense to put on the car unless it also added performance.
Beyond that, the E21 is said to be an comprehensive advance in its details - the suspension gets a new layout, the Coanda exhaust and the passive double DRS system are evolutions from last year, the front wing is "a continuation of concepts" from 2009.
After securing fourth in the Constructor's Championship last year, this is the chassis that drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean will use to try and move the team up a place, which would mean beating one of the big three teams over the course of the season. The quietly and impressively consistent Räikkönen managed third in the Driver's Championship, and we're sure he wouldn't mind a move up in the standings, either.
