Not sure why they didn't come knurled from the factory, tbh. It is way too slippery.
Yoko AD09 on OEM GT Wheels, BWR Penske DA's, BWR Front/Rear UCA's, Spitfire Front/Rear toe links.
Ride height: 125mm front, 147mm rear
Front: -3 camber, 1mm toe out, caster maxed out with camber
Rear: -2.7, 2mm toe in
I plan to try a different tire next go round. I think the tire lift is primarily due to the bumps in 17 but it looks neat
I have one I bought at LOG26. It has Mark 1 to Type 118. It is hanging on the wall in my computer room. I use it as a reference all the time.
Haven't posted anything in awhile but this year has been a busy one and figured I would update my build progress here. So far this year I have the BOE headers, cai, cooling tray and tune. Also installed the aerie short shifter and the bullocks weighted shift knob(laser etched the lotus logo on there) also got the radium engineering dual catch can and innovative engine mounts and trans mounts. I went stiff on the mounts so it vibrates quite a bit at start up and idle but man does it drive phenomenally. I have a few other parts with some on back order that I'm hoping to get installed over the winter...... Winter is coming. Had to add the photo next to my buddies 25 gt3 rs from a recent car show

They can be a little slippery sometimes.
Nice. Billet?

2 weeks ago my 2021 Evora GT 410 Sport IPS / 4.500 km's, suddenly went into limp mode, yellow ESP warning on the dashboard; no Sport mode possible: I could not run faster than 55 mph.
From several Lotus forums I learned that this most probabely could be a defect brake pedal switch; which is very common for (also new) Evora's.
I purchased the GRP (USA) switch which was suppied to the Netherlands (Europe) in 8 days.
It turned out to be a Saab part (with black pusher stem)........the defect OEM switch is a GM part (with white pusher stem).
As expected I had to widen the gaps of both fixing cams about 0,5 mm using a nail file.
In principle replacment is an easy job, however the access to the location above the brake pedal is very difficult; finlly I succeeded to use both hands which was for me essential to complete the job.
Since I am 82 years old it took some more time; about one hour.
For me a good lamp and mirror were essential to to finish the job.
It seems to be ok now; soon I will test it on the road.
With Google I found some relevant links, which were helpful..........
For those interested i show them below.....

Of course! Designed to take OEM bushings or i'm going to have some delrin ones made as well. Should come in cheaper than RRR and I'll make a few extra sets.

Got bored of the plastic engine scoops, so decided to wrap them in satin CF

Awesome - let me know if you'll be taking names for sets.
Ready for the dry hands of winter
Took it to the track for the first time. I did an HPDE with the BMW club.

Let me ask Catsailer if I can post a group buy even though I'm not a sponsor. But yes, you can DM me and I can order multiple sets, just trying to make things more available (with minimal profit to account for my time and effort).

Rolled over 13K miles on our 2020 Evora GT. Wanted to take an odo photo but I was negotiating the northbound Dragon at the time after a nice multiroad run (1.5X full length of Foothills Parkway, 129, SB Dragon, Moonshiner 28) with my new buddy @TheDragonaut. Thanks for a great afternoon!

I painted the taillight surrounds black, previous owner had painted them white. I installed the GRP V4 taillights as well. Much better look on the rear now.

Its been ten years since I built my Evora's exhaust pipe. Lately, it has seemed like it was getting louder. I was thinking the resonator was aging?? So, today I pulled the pipe off. After making a jig out of wood, we cut out the original resonator, modified the new resonator and then welded it back together.
Of course, I had to take the extra time to polish the pipe back up before I remounted everything.
Ten years of use had it discolored and my OCD couldn't live with that.
Ran out of time for a test run, but I think I'll be back to where I was....
