It's not a popular choice among parallel importers or used car dealers
But most Lotus cars are exchanged within Lotus Malaysia who runs the owners club, generating events and activities and also provide support for owners trading their lotuses.

RCS are revalving the 2-way Ohlins that comes with Exige S for trackday, time attacks and race. Visit Aylezo Motorsports or RCS.

Exige S or not, For those who want a proper suspension setup need to take a visit to RCS. You really dont know what you're missing until you try these guys out.

It gives you something to think about how the locally established suspension outfits are doing wrong.

Dear Tom, may I know where was this shot taken?! I just love the narrow back alley backdrop. Was thinking of getting few shots of my own over there...

Hi HKS, you wont be able to find the place, it's artificial.

Umm... Tom, do you think you could make the thumbnails span across two rows or three? Right now it's all in one line and not everyone has 22" monitors

and Damn... I wanna test drive super nice cars too

Izso, didn't realize it. i shall make some changes

Awesome review! Makes me want to have one of those..
How's the launch control like? Saw it in Fifth Gear and it looked painful..

Temujin, honestly I didn't try the launch control, the manual way was good enough,
surprisingly Vicki Butler's Exige S in the video looked like a rough experience

A few months back I was on North South Highway from Penang to KL. Midway I spotted a black sports car which were going quite fast(really fast) on my rear view mirror. I took the opportunity to inch down my windows slightly as I do not know what car to expect but just to hear the car zooming past. Low and behold the freaking sound scares the gejibbers out of my sleeping dog. The sound is so raw and obnoxious that it made my ear rings. Damn the Exige.

 

[TitanRev]

I have had some fair share of the sound from these Lotus on the roads...It's just pure sex....the sound is very addicting...
