[2015 Lotus Evora S Sports Racer]

Is the price missing?

[South West Lotus Centre Ltd - Open day and BBQ]

Will be there about 0945 in the 410.

Won't have the new car until Tuesday, sadly. Might run out in the 410. What time you guys planning on being there?

[TLF GT430 Club]

Too early to say right now; currently getting the money organised and looking at options on my GT410. Would hope this week sometime, but Saturday most likely, unfortunately; would have loved to go to SWL day. If I can make it, I will let you know.

[TLF GT430 Club]

Direct with seller.

[TLF GT430 Club]

Seriously though, guys, thanks for all the information on the car/Targa Florio/market, etc.

It really helped me know where to pitch my offer and I am extremely pleased with the deal.

Thanks to all.

[TLF GT430 Club]

I thought I'd strike while the iron was hot, as it were.

[TLF GT430 Club]

Thanks very much. It already has, just by looking at it!

[TLF GT430 Club]

Well it's all academic now, guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just bought it :-)

Anyone looking to buy a superb-condition GT410 in Empire Green?

[TLF GT430 Club]

Why no surprise, out of interest?

[TLF GT430 Club]

Good info, thanks Dave.  I put extra mesh grilles on my car for just that reason.

I'm not put off myself by its condition (now I know more about the wishbones, anyway); I prefer a well-serviced, well-used car to a garage queen. However, 430s are in Ferrari-money territory and many of those in that market just want cars that never move(d).

Definitely one to watch.

Will be interesting what this 430 achieves in what is a struggling used car market at the moment ?

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2018-lotus-evora-gt430-1

Particularly as it looks like it's been driven hard a lot (475 upgrade, cracked disks and replaced exhaust gaskets!) and quite possibly a big off (stone chips everywhere and replaced wishbones!).

Love the colour, but this one's been for sale unsuccessfully quite a few times, no?

[Clutch Dilemma!]

I'm a big fan of preventative maintenance, but an engine-out clutch job would definitely not be on my list :-). As Bibs rightly says, the first sign will almost certainly be slippage (at high revs/throttle) and the car will still drive gently, even then.

 

I would not do the clutch until then.

[Headlights again refresh question]

I believe that is the best way to remove the film, yes.

[Introducing iLounge Racing + Elise Trophy Updates!]

Fantastic memories from a fantastic weekend, no doubt. I greatly enjoyed Thursday/Friday. Sunday must have been epic.

[Mesh upper Grills front clam GT410]

User a small roller, works great.

Also, fabulous-looking car (fellow Empire-green enjoyer here)!

[Wiscombe Park hill climb - 29th and 30th July - discounts will be available!]

Can't make it sadly, but am interested in other runs - again in September I think?

[Introducing iLounge Racing + Elise Trophy Updates!]

Your car looked and sounded great at Goodwood!

Shame about today's cancellation.

[Anyone got experience of the 981 GT4]

Go and test-drive one; it's the only way to know. My money's on you keeping the 400.

[No live traffic (TMC) service on Alpine head unit any more.]

If you can use Waze via your phone, it is much, much better than TMC.

[2016 Evora 400 shocks to NA]

Corrosion on shocks is not a biggie, honestly.

[Evora Rear Springs – Pair – New unmarked & unfitted]

Received, thanks!

[2016 Evora 400 shocks to NA]

Having had an NA and now on a GT410, yes the 400 suspension is firmer, but it's still very usable day-to-day and the handling is sharper. NA is definitely the comfiest, but that may not be your priority.

[Evora Air conditioning failure]

That was 2 new compressors, then!  But good info.

[Fast Road/Track Brake options]

Track pads are designed a little too small, in order to allow greater expansion (i.e. more heat soak) than OEM. That's why they rattle. Like anything, it's a compromise.
