Evora suspension and other noises.
jevansio replied to Bruss's topic in Ride/Handling/Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tyres
I have just replaced the front ARB bushes on mine, cured the clunk, but the old ones had some sort of PU sealant on them????? My car was owned by Lotus for most of its life, was this a sticky plaster to get extra life out of them or a bone-fide thing to do, suffice to say I've never heard that this needs doing and stripped it all off when putting the new ones on -
Will a decent £25K Evora be realistic in the next 2 years?

I bought my Evora for 25k with 70k miles and if "decent" means "runs without fault and is a joy to drive every day" then its decent -
My Evora Sound System Upgrade
jevansio replied to jevansio's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
To confirm the MDF thickness I used was 18mm, it does push the woofer close to the quarter panel cover which i did end up trimming around the opening to ensure on loud movement the cone didn't touch it So the amplifier, my first choice was an Alpine M250 Mono Class D, Max 550W, RMS 150W (30 amp fuse) for £120 I ran a new phono lead from the headunit sub-out up the centre console. The original amp has a small patch lead (for power & speaker out), I cut the connectors from that to make my own (figuring to return to OEM either 1 small new harness/more soldering is required). -
My Evora Sound System Upgrade
jevansio replied to jevansio's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
After enjoying the 4 speaker setup for some months I decided to complete the job by upgrading the puny subwoofer/amp combo. Disconnecting the speakers and running the subwoofer alone, turned upto the max of 15, really showed how little effect it has in the car. First up is the woofer itself. Continuing on with the "Alpine" theme the only subwoofer option I could find is the Type-G SWG-844, its 8" and fits with minimal effort into the existing enclosure, its £50 (taking total spend to £300), rated at 400W Max, here it is beside the OEM woofer. It will need an MDF mount making a -

Are these the ones from the uk based sa motorsports? did they do you the front lip too? it looks awesome

For me in the turbo vs sc debate i would love a turbo for the noise alone, but if I ever boost my N/A i think it will be either the current S/C setup or a new 400 S/C for the reliability alone, I'd not want to turn a car that is reliable and can be used fast everyday into a temperamental race machine

Mudguard brackets....
jevansio replied to Miguel's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
Ive just fitted a set of there after mine crumbled away and really pleased with the quality and fitment, defo a DIY home job. I would advise to take special care when removing the apanel top bolts to check how many spacer washers each has (mine had 3 in total). When reassembling I found the best way to fit is to attach the top 2 bolts first getting the apanel to front clam gap correct, then fitting the bottom ones. Also a dab of copperslip as always should help future problems -
Its great to see him actually out in it, it looks awesome, love whats he's done visually. I still cant believe those front wheels wont bang up into the front clam on a heavy landing, maybe everywhere is flat over there lol
