Trip to Brands Hatch for the initial sound testing which it passed with ease

 

Schroth Harnesses, Harness bar and OEM Rear tow strap fittings installed

 

Beautiful color, often times I see myself questioning the choice of wanting an Evora and think of my first love (The Elise)

 

Thanks, yeah they really are something different. For me it was the Exige S2 I really wanted, until I saw my first ever Elise Cup car with the full big aero. As my Exige owning friends say it's the true successor to the Exige S2 and more like a weaponised Exige than an Elise

Beautiful...what I would do to be able to have one in the US😈

You have the 25 year import rule don't you, is that across the whole of the US?

Wow, great colour, great car!

That "No step" you have on the side is a good addition. I rented a Ferrari 488 in Canada last month and my brother nearly stepped on a similar part of the car. That would have cost me $$. It did not have "No step" on it.

 

Thanks mate, it’s all oem looking, all the aero and even those stickers are from the factory, very fighter jet style lol

 

Yesterday as it was supposed to be a nice bright and sunny day I took the car for a spin and decided to go to a really nice photo spot. You used to be able to get over to the planes and do photo's with them, however the landscaping has changed somewhat preventing the same images as I wanted to take. But nonetheless some nice shots of the Cup here, typically it rained both at the photo location and on the way home 😞

Location is the Battle of Britain Memorial - Capel-Le-Ferne

 

extremely dope.

 

I'm just now noticing the UFO in the license plate...so cool. I bet you receive tons of questions about the car and the plate.

 

Yeah when I take it out it gets quite a bit of attention, I have a Grogu in the middle which people then understand as a link to the plate , at Brands not long ago I couldn't really go near it as there was a family taking loads of pics with the car

 

Great color!

 

Great color!

Thanks mate, imo it looks better at night or in darker lighting as it goes a darker matte lime green

 

that's a cool color

 

Thanks mate, Toxic Green it's called

 

That's it for the year, SORN and locked away awaiting track preparation for 2024...

Post Service Quick Detail

 

New road tyres went on the other week (Yokohama V105's)

195/50/R1684W - Front

225/45/R1791W - Rear (With correct MO markings as specified by Lotus cars)

The ones on there were the Factory Fitted AD07's which had covered 14.4K miles in total, the rears had 1.8mm and 1.6mm and the fronts still over 4mm and looks brand new (sidewalls etc), however they were rock solid and with manufactured dates of 2014 they had to go as there is no way they were decent still.

 

So with the intermittent weather broken down over two days the car got a full deep clean inside and out, suspension wheels off for suspension next. The interior came up really well considering the age etc and it's looking quite fresh now with the ally chassis polished up

2024 - 2025 MOT day and passed as expected

Typically as per a standard summer it rained as soon as I got the car out and both whilst driving too and from the MOT station, the only time it was dry was whilst it was inside...

Some of these show how low the oem setup is against a standard curb and whilst on the MOT brake test.

 

Showing how low these are on the brake tests, and this is the factory OEM suspension and ride height
