I would love to have a Lotus, here's video from an Elise at a lapping day:

If you notice, there's a red car in front of the Lotus the entire time that he can't catch. That's my Accent.

gotta love the exige for it's compact 4x100 lug pattern, although i'd do a wheel stud conversion though..

when i went to michelin's laurens proving grounds in greenville SC, their track BMWs were converted to run on studs.



that gen of civic has the front strut setup with the steering attached to the special "nissin" struts instead of the knuckles, interested in how the steering feel is..

Hence the reason for the DaVinci tie rods. Can't go more that 1 degree negative on the camber with the stock tie rods.
