The perfect compliment to a scud’s lightweight philosophy.
XclusiveAutosports… yes, with an ‘X’ and no, I can’t be held responsible for anything I posted when I was 20 (cringe) as I’m now pushing 40. :D
Having owned several S2000s over many years I have learned I prefer a coupe. I’ve come to this conclusion after placing a hardtop on all of them,...
I think it’s easy to mix up “top speed” with “top gear”. Personally, I don’t like the sound of either of their headers for the 430, but that’s...
It’s not an issue at all, it’s just easier to delete it. By easier, I don’t mean better. It’s easier to remove and block off lines than it is to...
I don’t mind him. I think his take on cars, and valuing feel over numbers, is aligned with what I prefer in cars so I generally look forward to...
I’ve never owned an elise or a 360, but I do own an Evora GT and an F430 if that’s of any value. I will say that the steering feel of the lotus...
If the market were to shift and pricing dropped back close to where it was a few years ago, would you still enjoy the car? If yes, and you could...
First, there are significantly cheaper options on the market than $30k, especially if you can turn a wrench (or a crank :D). Second, if new tech...
I drove an F430 back in 2007 and fell in love with the car. I thought the F1 was kind of crude feeling compared to driving a manual. Fast forward...

A picture of progress so far. Next I need to get the rear onto jack stands so I can take the rear wheels off and remove the bumper. [ATTACH]
That's great to hear. How do you like the sound with the 100 cell cats? I was too cheap after the price of everything else, haha. I used a stud...
I went with Kline manifolds with optional heat shielding. I also have Capristo test pipes and a Kline exhaust to mate them up to.
Hey guys, quick question regarding header install. First off, removing some of those 12mm nuts had me questioning my sanity when all I could fit...
This. :)
I’m not sure what you mean by “double staggered” (height and width stagger front to rear?), but you will be limited to 1pc wheels in 19” up front...
Im also a big fan of JDM wheels, but unfortunately not many offer 5x108 in many sizes/offsets, if any. For example, I considered a set of BBS LM...
If it helps your decision at all, I was apprehensive about buying a yellow F430 coupe, even though it checked every other box I was looking for....
