2006 Lotus Exige

Before reading through all of the insane options Listed below on this Exige please note that the engine block currently has scoring in 1 cylinder and will need to be sleeved or replaced. On a good note the Exige uses the Toyota 1.8 liter 2ZZ platform which is not only affordable to work on but parts are also readily available. My wife and I bought this car wrecked back in 2008 with under 2600 miles (it had a salvage title, it is now a rebuilt title) to be not only a fun and exciting street car that she could drive occasionally on weekends or to cars and coffee events but also to do some track day events in. I think she did maybe a half dozen track day driver education events and the rest of the miles are street driven miles. The ownership change showing in 2015 was when she simply titled the car from her business name to her personal name. As far as the rebuild, we went with. Reverie wide body rear clamshell kit.

5 element carbon fiber diffuser. Newer style (2007 and up) 1 piece headlights. SJ Leggerro lightweight wheels (rears have been professionally widened to take a 285). Black OEM center caps and badging. And finished the car off in the custom shade green with black top section. There are some misc rock chips, mainly at the front edge of the rear flares so I will include a gallon of the custom green for you. On the inside we did. Reverie carbon fiber seats with suede pads. Personal alcantara suede steering wheel with a Works Bell quick release hub. Alpine CD player with JL speakers, JL sub in quick removal JL stealth sub box, and an MB Quartz amp. Suede dash with green stitching. Custom billet shift knob that has black mini lotus badge embedded in it. 3 pod center stack gauge pod with Shift Pro green gauges. Schroth safety harnesses stock seat belts still installed for you too! Custom fit WeatherTech style rubber mats.

So anyways after installing all of this I decided I was too excited and decided to give the car a drive before getting everything fine tuned with the EFI, and had some kind of issue in cylinder 2. I continued to limp it home and put it away for the winter. The following spring I took a new job and we relocated across the country. The new job has had had me going nonstop for over 5 years now and Ive had no time to get the car going.

Recently for safe keeping I did drain the gas tank, added 10 gallons of VP C10 and installed a new Wahlbro fuel pump. A compression test found 104 psi in one cylinder (the other 3 had 175psi) followed by a boroscope check that found the cylinder scarring. Other then that the car has now sat in this condition for over 5 years. My wife got fed up with waiting and bought a Lamborghini, and now wants a Mclaren so I have decided to offer the Exige up for sale.

Its not doing me any good sitting, and who knows when Ill have time to work on it. I would rather let someone else have the chance to enjoy it. Please let me know if you have any questions.

You can view the Exige here is San Antonio Tx. I can remove the front lip and the diffuser before transport to help ground clearance. The item "2006 Lotus Exige" is in sale since Sunday, April 19, 2020. This item is in the category "eBay Motors\Cars & Trucks\Lotus\Exige".
