The Lotus Exige 240 Is Gay

[quote name='93 R1' date='Jul 24 2005, 10:47 PM']I understand staggered wheel setups. I was refering to the 8.8" width and 11.25" width. Why not just go to a 9" in the front and a 11.5" out back? Why the wierd *** widths?

Ahhh, I'm guessing that's because the wheels are probably metric.

Edit:How did I not see Brandon's post? oh well great minds and all that.

8.8 = 223.52 mm
11.25 = 285.75 mm
So, they are probably not metric wheels. The probably are optimized for the tire width. Extra wheel width = extra weight = poorer acceleration and braking = heavier suspension = heavier structure = poorer accleration = etc...
I see 2 pedals and a lever, so probably the clutch is on the shifter. Just a guess though.

It's a sequential dog-box, so clutching is only necessary when stopped, so yeah, I would guess that is what the white lever is.

My guess is that Sweet7 is right about the clutch, it's certainly been done before. I'd say the pedals are setup for left footed braking because it looks like heel-toeing would be impossible from that angle.
