What year? Looks DIY or aftermarket.

 

I think that's an OE part, just mangled. Not sure how to replace them though; I assumed they were bonded to the chassis with the same assembly adhesive.

 

Yes it does look like that they are OEM. Just not listed on the parts book.

Evora on 4 point lift

I know that lifting the Elise is a bit of an art form, but the Evora manual does not specify any particular lift points. Is that because there are no special considerations to make?

Jack Points on my Evora look different

I've been reading a lot of posts regarding jack points on the Evora. Has anyone seen theirs look like mine? I haven't found pictures of another. Maybe the dealer did this to better lift? There is a nicely identified blue circle sticker with an arrow pointing to what appears mounted jack points...

I have lots of questions with that pic.

 

I see rivets.

 

Evora on 4 point lift

 

So not serviceable separately?

 

That pad looks pretty typical for a car that has been lifted a lot. My racecar tends to go up/down 3-4 times per week. After a few years the pads get pretty scratched and dented. You can preserve them a little bit by using hockey pucks or wood. The pads are steel.

Replacing these would involve cutting them off and bonding a custom steel pad on. The question is, why bother. They are fully functional and not a mechanical problem, even if aesthetically displeasing. The analogy for a unibody car is the pinch welds. Those get mangled when using unprotected jack pads.

 

Definitely POE. definitely still in perfect service shape, even if a bit less pretty. You might not want to mess with them unless a Lotus tech says they ARE NOT integral with a major bonded corner of the subframe!!
BTW, those forged wheels ROCK on track with Goodyear Supercar 3r's on track!

 

Thanks, and HA I'm glad they went to a good home and your enjoying them 👍🏾
