DBA 4000 fitted

Shouldn’t one headlight be red then? 🙂

A couple of photos from our visit to Gotland earlier this Summer. Beautiful island, although a bit dusty due to being a limestone rock...

The Evora came second in GTB class in both races. Could have been better but a penalty due to too short pit stop set them back. Still great to see them on the podium. Link to the complete results: https://www.stcc.se/app/uploads/2018/08/All-Results-Swedish-GT-Karlskoga-2018.pdf

Anyone who has one spare bolt to fix the front caliper to the hub on a S1 Evora? Part no A132W2048F. Have ordered from DeRoure, but they are on back order from Lotus which means it can take several years to get them 😾 Need one urgently in order to fit a new disc.

I’ve got the straps from Lotus Motorsport fitted to mine. Not sure if they are still possible to get hold of after Motorsport got terminated. Part number for that kit is ALS5A0185J

You’ve got pm

I’ve now ordered DBA 4000 series discs instead. Grooved discs front and back. https://dba.com.au Rear 42361S, front 42364S Air freight to Sweden. Missed four track days so far due to the others being on back-order. Getting a bit desperate by now.

The Evora came 5th and 2nd in today’s two races at Anderstorp Raceway. Soaking wet conditions in both races. The second got red flagged due to a serious crash (one driver taken to hispital). Lookedmore like speed boats on the long strait. Today prince Carl Philip was accompanied by Thed Björk in the Evora. Great to see a lot more car in both classes. Although only one Lotus this weekend.

My discs needs to be replaced since they've now reached the minimum thickness. I've settled for the discs that are sold by Elise-shop. http://www.elise-shop.com/evora-cross-drilled-front-brake-discs-pair-up-to-evora-400-p-502938.html and http://www.elise-shop.com/cross-drilled-rear-brake-discs-pair-evora-exige-v6-p-502939.html. Just curious about what others has settled for? I ordered mine in April and the latest update I got they should be shipped during second half of May. Apparently the rear discs are on back order. I've been searching for groved but not cross drilled discs. But so far I haven't found any for the Evora. I've seen some kits with upgraded front discs. Anyone with experience of such?

The Exige had issues with the noice limits (95 dB) on Friday. This is what they ended up with on Saturday... DSC_9963 by Stefan Axelsson, on Flickr The Michelin man seems to prove with the Evora DSC_9990 by Stefan Axelsson, on Flickr

Motorsport black, looks just black when cloudy but in direct sunlight it's almost brown due to "gold" flakes.
