Crouchy

I haven't booked it yet but I will 100% be doing Spa again next year. Im also considering bilster berg but it might work out a bit too expensive for me.

from what I hear some time last year lotus were trying to sell the vented 380 clam to anyone that wanted a front clam as they had stock and were obviously trying to introduce the new style front clam to the production line.

I don't know how much factory forged wheels are so what sort of prices are we looking at? £2-3000 I could be interested but at £4000+ I personally wouldn't see the value in the upgrade.

I know its a while off but anyone fancy the Lotus on Track Donington/oulton double header 29/30th October

probably not. Already got a day at blyton park on 2/9 so unlikely to be able to sneak another full day off work. I will see what I can do

are you planning on making a stylized cover for it or leave it for that "because racecar" feel

I might be up for one of the evening sessions.

I saw this pic earlier and thought why is his cage black and not rusty like mine. Looks like I will have to get the hammerite out now.

@550superfast They seem fine on track. I was at spa 2 weeks ago and even through eau rouge there was no rubbing and its pretty high compression at that point. Its purely just when the steering is on full lock. The other thing to keep in mind is that the tyre wall is also much taller so your front ride height may need adjusting too.

@550superfast Having run them for a while I have decided that its not the offset that's causing the issue but more the rolling diameter. Its seems that the tyre is catching on the vents at the front of the wheel arch liner. It only catches when you hit the stoppers on full lock so its not an issue most days and it went through its MOT with them on. If it really bothered you, you could file back the vents a bit to stop the rubbing.

Ooh I haven't done anglesey for a while. Highly doubt I will get a pass that weekend though as im at spa on monday. Ill see what I can do.

do you have to become a member of mloc before being able to buy tickets?

would love to but working that weekend

So a 17x8 et22 will extend 10mm on the outside and extend 2mm inwards on the inside. Just been and measured it up and I think that will be fine, especially with 215 tyres

Thats not good. Never been convinced by the longevity of home 3d printed parts.
