Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S

Vanilla face oil temp gauge installed, works nice.
Got the car weighed, 1900 lbs with the big battery and harnesses/bar installed. Race weight will probably be in the 1860 range if I take off the roof and have the small battery.

I also got some stainless steel caliper pistons, the heat transfer on these is about 5% of the stock aluminum pistons, which equals lower brake fluid temps and fewer changes. They are also vented.
New pistons:


Installed:


Old ones:


Brakes were really spongy after that so I bled the entire clutch/brake system with super blue. Excited to see how it drives tomorrow, hopefully I got all the air out.
