Yes they did and no they don't - can order in very quickly though. The airbox was a last minute request from me and Craig had it within a couple of days of me asking.

Cheers Shuggles, thought it would be about that, just curious in case MMC had an excess of superchargers they wanted rid of.

Oh, got an email from Craig on that one:

"SC with stage 3 and TRD I would be looking to do these for £3800 Inc vat for anybody on Se. "

So not nearly 5K. Didn't want to quote anything other than list price and get him in trouble ;)

I reckon as an all in price including the exhaust system, that is a good deal.

TBH kenny it would prob be easier and cheaper to just trade in the N/A and get an Exige S, than spend 5k on a supercharge :roll: .....i have seriously thought about it....

Nah - do like the new Exige but i prefer roof off motoring

No idea what to change the Elise with as the new one is just too similar in looks and performance and I vowed I would never buy new again so the green beastie is staying for the forseeable

Might stick the TRD airbox on the list for Santa :thumbsup

i'y shug ......but the supercharger your talking about was designed for the elise ....no, intercooler, the exige has more room in the engine bay so, kenny would prob want the intercooler as well, i made that assumption hence 5k mark for an S/C mod.

Eh, okay then mate? Don't disagree that the intercooled option would be better for an Exige, but that wasn't the question asked? Plus, you seen Kenny's car? If someone swapped him for an Exige S with an around £5K cash ask, he'd have won more than a watch! ;)

Anyway - long story short, seems like a fairly sweet SE deal for anyone interested in a bit more usable poke from a 111R. Have to say, I'm mightily impressed with the car and am now planning times when I can nick it next to 'pop out for something'. :thumbsup
