Parts & Upgrades

From hand-built exhaust systems to track-tested chassis parts and ECU calibration, we supply and fit the hardware and software upgrades your Lotus needs.

01 / Bespoke Exhausts

High-Flow Exhaust Systems

We build custom, high-quality exhaust systems made specifically for the Lotus chassis. Helping the engine breathe better gives you a pure, mechanical sound that adds to every drive, without the cabin drone you often get from mass-produced alternatives. See our systems in action at Goodwood below.

Bespoke Fabrication

Every exhaust system is handcrafted for durability and perfect alignment. Using 3D modelling and TIG welding, we make sure our custom parts fit your car exactly like an original factory component.

ECU Calibration & Tuning

Working in partnership with TPW Engineering, we offer world-class calibration for the latest Lotus platforms. This goes well beyond a simple flash: deep-level binary file modification optimises the Evora and Exige range, so the hardware and software work together for maximum performance.

03 / Evora Power

Evora 400 Power Upgrade

We put this Evora 400 on the rollers before any work was carried out: 385 HP and 360 lb-ft, stock. With our kit fitted and mapped, it made 490 HP and 408 lb-ft. The kit pairs our exhaust system with an induction kit, set up and mapped on the dyno.

05 / Restoration & Setup

Suspension Refresh

That famous Lotus handling depends on precise geometry and healthy components. Over time, rubber bushes perish and dampers wear out. Our suspension refresh brings back the factory-fresh feel with high-quality bush kits, performance dampers and bespoke alignment set up for how you drive, whether that's spirited road use or dedicated track work. We strip everything down, refurbish the wishbones with zinc plating and powder coating, and replace the bushes and ball joints.
