Hi guys, so I've been reading the SH*T out of this forum and it has been an absolute game changer, learnt so much about the car. So I thought it was time to say hi! My name is Kai and I bought a stock red Primo 86 ( yes primo!) just over 2 months ago. A bit about myself, I'm 22 and based in Norwich working as a graduate engineer at Lotus. As hard as I tried to leave it stock for a few months, I've been hooked to modding already. So far I've done cheap/simple mods: 18 inch ET35 RS style wheels Smoked sequential tail lights white LED interior and license plate lights Carbon effect (lol) lip spoiler Blacked out badges Window louvres Berk dual exit muffler delete TD 2nd cat delete (yes its feckin loud and asbo but i love it, sorry neighbors) The plans for the near future are: ht autos lip kit lowering springs (like i said, being young i want to save as much money as possible so couldnt justify coilovers!) New tyres - PS4s TD NA package near black friday deals! Hopefully i can make it to Japfest for the first time and I look forward to meeting some of you! have a good one

The Maxxis Victra Sport VS5's also got their debut run out on track. When I arrived at Bedford they'd done about 50 road miles. During the morning the track was very green and the tyres were very slippery. By the afternoon the track had rubbered in a bit after the previous few days storms and the tyres has burnt off their releasing agents and they were much happier. I have previously run the PS4's on both road and track and in the afternoon sessions the VS5's seemed very similar - with a similar drop in grip as they overheated after about 4/5 laps (16-20 miles at Bedford). I ended up doing about 175 miles on track. By the time I got home the tyres had done about 200 road miles and the 175 track miles and they seem to have worn pretty well Only thing I have noticed is that even on the road they seem to need a bit of temperature to work well. Driving to work in temps around 1-2° they were a bit slippery until I'd done a few miles and they'd heated up a little. This isn't something I remember from the PS4's but also I would very rarely have driven the PS4's in those kinds of temperature due to running winters so it could just be that I didn't really use the PS4's in those conditions when I had them. I'll post a bit more feedback when I've done some more road and track miles on them.

Welcome! Google Maps showed me exactly where the picture was taken. 😁

I like the rs style wheels. Had considered them for mine at some point. Angelina has a red primo model that does looks very cool with its simpler designed headlights and key start. Means you get a bigger storage pocket for your phone as well.

Welcome aboard, not many Primo models around, think only 31 were sold!

Maybe I could suggest a 86/brz discount for a track day around the Lotus circuit yup forgot wheels! Yup forgot about them! They are 18 inch RS style wheels ET35 5x100. had nothing to cover the centre so slapped some toyota badges i had spare 😅 Hmm shall i suggest a Lotus/86/brz collaboration? that would be one heck of a car... 😍

Hi, erm you didn't mention the wheels, what are those? They look good, black against the red. Being a Lotus engineer seems like fun. Perhaps you can add some Colin Chapman ethos into the 86.

Great choice. Well done and get us offers for Lotus at a discount [emoji38] The wheels look nice and are not OEM clearly but not listed. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
