It'll be less than 35k :) , and a better investment than property :D . There. All the excuses required for the justification chat with the wife.

I guess I should put a price on it, now that I've sort of got my head around trying to sell it (these comments aren very nice but not helping) and improve the rather impromptu classified advert.

What is this Income Tax?

Is it something that I have to apply for as I do not seem to be getting it.

Polishing should be banned, after 2 nights cleaning the exige it has never looked better, so decided I could keep it if I made a few changes to make it a bi more road useable and got some skates to help manoeuvre it out. So need to think about suspension and geo etc. currently have nitroms which are fine but could use a few more mm ground clearance. Also a change of pads from the rs14 s. Nylatron bushes could als be softened, but I'm not up on the latest options


Suggestions welcome

Good news Kerry!

First thing I'd do is bin the nylatrons and put OEM back in there - they're probably in bits or seized and I think OEM bushes might make more difference than you think. If you're only after 10 mil or so, you could simply wind up the collars on the Nitrons and re-geo at that height - sure they have an envelope of droop/compression where they work fine. RS4/2s will be more road-friendly with friction from cold.

First hydraulically adjustable ride height Lotus? Or let's call it "active suspension"...

Shug, your comments are pretty much what I was thinking.

Campbell, funnily enough what I did buy this morning has variable height adjustment, I think it's pneumatic though. From the small amount I've read its effectively an active ride system.

Glad the here it Kerry, as above with shug, and set the geo back to std spec, sure it will make it much nicer on the road, also check you havent got the dampers set too hard for road use. I have started winding the 211 back for road driving after Ali said he does it....what a difference.
