Loltus Exige

confirmed - the compressor has died.

£800 from Lotus for a new one. £350+ for a denso ( same one )

However , in the interests of having electric windows , and weight saving I am going for a compressor delete kit. Was shite even when it worked TBH.

 

[andybond]

In other news , I have 100% not been investigating K20A with superchargers at all. Ever.

 

[andybond]

Update on the update . No compressor delete kit is available for the s2.

I have ordered a new compressor. Well , a new used one.

 

[andybond]

Just in case anyone wants pictures.

Is anyone reading this thread?



It’s compact in there!

 

[davemaygtt]

Of course we are!

 

[Norwich Nick]

I’m along for the ride

Think the loltus knows it’s on a forum for french cars and is doing it best to fit in and impress us by randomly breaking

 

[andybond]

Only got a few parts to replace then I have done the whole car

 

[Duncan Grier]

I saw a VAG in a VX220 at the weekend. Looked good.

K20A + Supercharger I think for me though if the 2zz lets go

Did you change the compressor yourself Andy?

Its not done yet.

And no

More economical for me to work and pay that do it myself.

Black one, the other Duncan owner? Or the older 20vt one

I do get the whole s/c thing and far easier to tame but just a turbo boy I guess lol

That's not Duncan's one, and a different one I did, so you are loitering in Leeds I see.....at Chris's place?

 

[andybond]

Popped over to Blyton for the LoT ( lotus on track ) event.

[Spooky]

That 3-11 was RAPID with a capital RAPID.

s1 are crazy. I know of the 3rd build s1 exige that is about to come on the market. OEM fresh.

I am actually taking a bit of pride in my exige but its far , far from mint which I quite like.
