Gone full JDM Tuner on a British car? [pics]
Did some suspension mods on the Lotus and while the car was out of commission for a bit, I sent the wheels to be powder coated. Let my son pick the color. I was going to go with a motorsport inspired gold, but he picked white. I let him have the choice. So we have a wide-body JDM ....Lotus? This car is a lot of fun. Next track day is within a month. Cant wait to test out new mods on track!

Damn that thing is sick. I used to work with a guy that had one of those with a turboed S2000 motor or H22? Can’t remember exactly but the thing was scary fast.

Small, doesn't look like there's any inventory on the lot, and three cars in showroom. What's up with that?

She has a great figure, but she is very modest. As she gets closer to 50, most women ditch bikini's. But my wife can still wear one and look better than a lot of 20 year olds. She is not much on showing off, but one day texted me this. Literally the closest thing to 'sexting' she has ever done.
The selfie cam makes them look a little over the top fish eye lens style.
Certainly no complaints from me to have a wife that looks like this at 47. But the looks are only sprinkles on top.
Back on car topic. Today was an AWESOME day! My son drove us for the first time ever to a car meet. Memories and fun. Met up with friends and had a good time!

Best pic of those is my son walking to the car. BIG day for us today. Normally he is riding with me and got to pass the torch to him and ride passenger to the meet. We meet up as friends and roll over there today. Was fun to see him get to be the driver. Life is good man! Dont ever be afraid to laugh at yourself.

Do they make one big enough for a non-manlet to fit into?

It is still on DOT Street tires. Just went to Falken Azenit RT660's. 200 series. Used to run Toyo 888. Have one track day under my belt and the Falkens are better in my opinion.
My issue with getting hoosiers for it, is I have to find another set of wheels and Hoosier does not make a slick in similar sizes and I would have to make some changes and find something that would work. Because of the wide-body, the wheels were made to order with custom offsets. Work wheels out of Japan would take who knows how long to get a set made plus they would cost about 4-5k. I am not a professional racer and just out for fun enjoyable times. I dont feel the need to make the jump to slicks anytime soon as I still have lots of room for improvement besides more grip. Plus slicks will heat cycle out long before they wear out on a car like the lotus that is so light. Currently running 275's on rear and 215 up front. That is A LOT of tire under a car like this. Dont forget it only weighs 1900lbs. I have been keeping a closer eye on tire temps and believe I am getting proper temps in rears. They are so big I was feeling like they might not come up to temp properly. But I think I have too much neg camber in right now.
Given that we only track about once a month, I only make one change/adjustment at a time or you cant tell the results. You can never drive the car hard enough on the street to diagnose, so I wait till next track day to see how things go. This track day, I am running about a 20% increase in spring rate. Next adjustment may be front sway bar or rear camber depending on how the car feels at steering limit.

I have really fallen in love with the car. They are all hand made, so working on them is quite nice. The 'clams' come off completely and give you access to everything.

I have been very lucky and not gotten pulled over in years, but that recently changed. Having my 76 year old mother in the car saved me

I got a brand new set of tires and on carbon rims it just grips and handles so good.
Idk man I’m lucky, when I was 19 I got pulled over a total of 14 times when I had a clue trans am ls2 swapped, cammed, 305s, straight pipes,
Total of 0 tickets
I’m a big ass dude, but I look like military, I ALWAYS pull over calmly, out of traffic for cop to walk to me, both hands on wheel, roll window down, turn car off and look straight ahead
It works 100% so far lol
I got pulled over just this morning going 103, straight warning, this one wasn’t friendly either, definitely prior military but just said “here’s a warning be safe man” and walked away lol
Saw that video before, my mom would’ve freaked out, did your mom ever ride with you again after that lmao

Idk man I’m lucky, when I was 19 I got pulled over a total of 14 times when I had a clue trans am ls2 swapped, cammed, 305s, straight pipes,
Total of 0 tickets
I’m a big ass dude, but I look like military, I ALWAYS pull over calmly, out of traffic for cop to walk to me, both hands on wheel, roll window down, turn car off and look straight ahead
It works 100% so far lol
I got pulled over just this morning going 103, straight warning, this one wasn’t friendly either, definitely prior military but just said “here’s a warning be safe man” and walked away lol
This is my buddies car after he realized his tires were gone. We went to the skid pad and he finished them off. Ended up blowing one of the rears and taking out the tire and the rear ABS wiring!
Then my buddy with his SVJ got in the act. He burned off his tires too! Little harder to drift the AWD SVJ. At the end of the vid you can see the rubber chunks coming off the tires. Fun day!
