I am selling my 2006 Storm Titanium Exige. It currently has 38xxx miles on it. I am the third owner.

VIN: SCCPC11196HL82718

Clear title. No accidents. Clean Carfax (have it upon request).

There is a lot in this post but I want any interested buyers to see the time and effort I’ve put into taking care of this car.

I have owned the car for a little over 2 years now and have only put about 3 thousand miles on it. It has never been tracked by any of its owners, has seen light rain only once while I have owned it, and quite frankly I drive it like a grandma most of the time, hence why I am considering selling it. It deserves to be driven by someone the way these cars are meant to be driven (also I have my eyes on a GTR or Aston Martin ). If you are looking to get into a well put-together modified example, this car is for you. All of the hard, expensive, and time-consuming work has been taken care of. The extensive list of modifications includes:

Engine

-Custom reflash by Charlie-X/Jermaine. This tune is spot-on, and I even flew Jermaine down last spring to tweak it a little bit more. Please note for those of you who require vehicle inspection that THIS CAR STILL MAINTAINS ALL OBD-II FUNCTIONALITY. No standalone system. No piggyback. No having to switch ECUs come inspection time. Simply drive up, get your sticker, and be on your way.

-Engine has been sleeved, decked, and line-honed.
-ARP Hardware
-Wiseco Forged 8.8:1 pistons
-MWR enlarged valves, springs, and retainers
-RC 550cc injectors
-Walbro 255lph Pump
-CircuitWorx Oil Pump
-Moroso Oil Pan
-Sector111 TRACKmounts
-GT-28RS Turbocharger running approx. 16 psi
-Spearco A/A Intercooler
-GReddy Aluminum Oil Catch-can
-Turbosmart 25mm Dual BOV
-CC Stage 2 Clutch & Fidanza ceramic Flywheel with custom clutch block that shorten clutch pedal depression (makes for easy and lightning-fast shifting)
-Custom intake
-Custom JETHOT coated exhaust with sport catalytic converter intact

Exterior

-Carbon Fiber Access Panels
-Carbon Fiber Scoops
-Sector 111 Five-Element Rear Diffuser
-Sector 111 Rear-Panel Delete
-APR Carbon Fiber Front Splitter w/ brace
-Sector111 discNOIR Brake System w/ SS lines
-Sector111 RTDbrace
-Sector111 Towhook
-3M rockguard wrap
-Blacked-out Lotus Emblem
-HID lights

Interior

-Alpine CD/MP3/iPod Unit w/ MBQuart Speakers
-Carbon Fiber Binnacle
-Schroth 4-point ASM Harness
-Carbon Fiber Shifter
-Sector111 Shift Linkage Brace
-Autometer Boost, A/F, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure Gauges
-BWR Gauge Pod
-Sector111 microMIRROR

The associated costs with these modifications included on this car top $30k alone. I have all invoices for those that are interested.

No expense was spared in the build of this car. The engine was sent directly to Darton to have the engine work performed. The turbo kit is based off of the Forced Fed kit, taking advantage of all of the hard parts, and was installed at Dyno-Comp in Arizona, which is one of the top tuner shops in the nation. Additional tuning, maintenance, new turbo installation, new clutch installation, etc., was performed at Autoscope Park Cities and SCW here in Dallas.

While the car itself sees 38xxx miles on the frame, the engine build was performed just 7,500 miles ago. The new turbo has less than 1,000 miles on it. The clutch is brand new and has less than 250 miles on it. You are essentially looking at a like-new powertrain. Recent engine analysis came back perfect. Great compression across all cylinders. No misfires. No leaks. Just a like-new engine that is ready to see some action. The engine is essentially bullet-proof. For those of you who decide to up the boost/go with a bigger turbo/or switch to an insane supercharger kit, the engine work is already done.

New custom intake was completed just a few months ago along with a higher-flow specialized K&N air filter. Additional heat wrap has recently been applied to hoses near the turbo just to be safe. Rear tires have about 700 gently-driven miles on them and front tires are brand new. Alignment was a couple of months ago. Brand new battery.

As of right now on an extremely conservative tune the car produces approximately 270 whp and 230 ft-lb torque at the wheels. It is capable of more than that, but concerns of transmission longevity stopped me from pushing for more. With the power it already has it is very quick. I would estimate 0-60 times in the mid 3-second range. For street driving you could probably get away with more power, but I was just being cautious. However, if dreams of 300++ whp and gobs of torque interest you, a few simple dyno pulls and some tweaks to the ECU is all that you need!

Lotus suing former CEO Bahar over spending on homes, helicopters and watches

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

More details have come out about the legal suit and countersuit being contested between Lotus cars owner DRB-Hicom and former CEO of Lotus Dany Bahar. Bahar was brought in by Malaysian car company Proton in 2009 to turn Lotus around, and events during his tenure have made just about everyone wonder "What's going on?" That's not unusual - it can take a minute to figure things out when a new leader takes everything in a new direction - but in this case the clouds didn't clear quickly enough.
When the Malaysian government sold Proton to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom earlier this year, a forensic accounting team from Ernst & Young and The Rothschild Group started going over the books. Not long after, Bahar was suspended in June from his position and then fired. In his countersuit against DRB-Hicom, claims of lavish spending began to surface. Then the stories and leaks and rumors really began, the UK's Financial Mail reporting on more than one million pounds spent on private flights and home renovations, the New Zealand Herald talking about other executives sacked so that DRB could rearrange a 270-million-pound bank loan to Lotus, and rumors on forums about Bahar flying from his home in Norfolk to Hethel HQ and spending 30,000 pounds on motorsports books for his office.
In the latest Bloomberg report it is said that DRB-Hicom seeks 2.5 million pounds ($4 million US) from Bahar "for unauthorized expenses and overpaid salary and bonuses," including the purported expense of 3,000 pounds on watches for company managers. DRB-Hicom also says Bahar made damaging statements to the media, on top of breaching his contractual duties. Bahar's countersuit seeks $10.6 million from DRB-Hicom.

Listen to the Lotus Evora 400 make lovely noises

Sat, Jul 16 2016

Automakers roll out loads of video content these days, but they often do so much editing and add so much background music that you miss out on the best stuff. With this video, Lotus shows they know what's important. This video shows Lotus's Evora 400 spending some time out on their test track in Hethel. The video is quite short and consists mostly of some onboard footage, but Lotus clearly invested in the sound recording. This Evora's 400 horsepower, supercharged V6 sounds brilliant as it screams around the course. We'll be getting a version of this car in the States this year. Lotus intends on selling the fittingly named Evora Sport 410 (for its 400 horse output) in America. It's possible we may see a lower-end model as well without the supercharger or with a smaller engine. No matter what though, great-sounding Lotuses are in our future.
