IF YOU HAVE NOT REPLACED A BELT YET, YOU WILL!!
Last weekend the belt on my 05 elise started to shred.
At Lotus they price these belts at a stout $195.00 + tax. Once my belt was off I took it to NAPA Auto to compare and found the exact same belt for $30.00. I assume it was a Celica GTS belt, but I was in a hurry and practically acting as my own salesperson so there was nobody to confirm this.
NAPA Part #060560
Micro-V
Manufactured by Gates
Lotus must buy these for less than $20 each and sells for 10 x. thats crazy.
I hope this helps anyone soon to be buying a belt.
