Btw where did you get the Toyo R888, I couldn't find them here.
I couldnt find them locally either so I ordered them from the US.

There are kits out there and with the addition of a supercharger to the K20, you will have more power than you will ever need.
Way ahead of you there buddy . We are sourcing a K20A engine with a supercharger now and just researching what we need to do and who to buy the conversion parts from. My goal is 320-340 whp. Dunno if that is realistic yet, will have to do some more research.

Congratulations on a beautiful car, best of luck with all the modifications! I like the badge on the back!

I have been considering a lotus elise for a long while, and I'm being 100 percent serious that one of the things that always repulsed me were the side mirrors. For a while I thought the thin stalked carbon fiber mirrors would complete the look, and the ones you chose are seriously some of the nicest items I've ever seen. Do you have a webpage/product code for the item, how much did they cost (pm me if you don't want to disclose prices)?

lol thanks man, yeah I love how the lettering came out on the back its just letters you can get from any autoshop.

I am so with you on the repulsing stock mirrors. Lots of places you can get these mirrors. I got mine from Welcome to Sector 111, home of Lotus Elise Aftermarket Performance Parts and Exhaust Accessories. they are called craftsquare carbon fiber mirrors. They also have a cheaper alternative mirror on that site that looks very similar. Hope you decide on getting an elise/exige, and lemme know if you need any help at all with mods, I'm not an expert but will try and help if I can.

Appreciate the kind comments!

GoPro idea already done! But did it at an autocross at night so not great visibility. Will take some on the track next week and post em up!
