Unfortuntately, in Kalifornia (where I currently reside), these aftermarket mods are not accepted/meet our emissions requirements.

Plus, the company really should have done it themselves. I know they love 4bangers, but eventually they were convinced to make the Esprit a small v8. Likewise, the entry level could be the 4 (leave the current Elise alone), but the performance car, ie the Exige, should have something more than 220 or 240 hp.
