Great! Thinking of getting the matte finish.. Anyone here got them installed already? Some photos would be nice 🙂

In a search for a carbon fibre hardtop I found this site:
http://www.lotushardtops.com/hardtops/lotus-elise-carbon-fibre-roof-and-rollbar-cover-kit.html
The price for 250 Cup (with all brackets and seals) is better then the Komotec option and the optics is also nice.
But... The question is whether anyone has any experience with this company? I have searched the forum but found nothing.
Looks very nice!! Do they have in matte finish? To match my matte black accents

have the same problem.
tried the brake light switch and abs sensors without result.
Oh so you still have the traction error?

What mods did you perform already? Might have something to do with that.
Just get an ECU readout at a dealership or buy an odb reader yourself. Could be anything!
Can you turn it off completely? Because in all honesty, traction control is very meh on the Elise
I never drive with it on anymore.I want to turn it off completely! Really don't need it too... I tried turning it off and then sport mode on, after a few km the sport mode went out and couldn't switch back on... car is all stock, but my parts are all ready for installation. I just wanna solve the traction issue first before installing the parts! I just wish Lotus just made the car with always sport mode on and no traction control... made it more fun.
Read some topics and they said it has something to do with the brake switch?
-
For some reason, the traction control lights up on my 250 Cup and I can't turn on my sport mode... Anyone here experienced this? Please help!

We can make covers for any Lotus variant mate.
The factory however has had a close down and is now running a small staff making PPE for the NHS. They're expecting to re-open on the 1st July but there will be a backlog I'd imagine. You're welcome to order now or wait until then but I'm still sending in orders now and have a bit of a queue built up.
What's the indoor cover price for the Elise 250 Cup?
-
Anyone here tried the RRR final drive and flywheel? Are they worth the upgrade?
-
Wow pretty light! Especially it's 7" and 8" width 😱
-
BTW, anyone here knows who did the oem wheels for the 250 cup? Is it Team Dynamics? What's the weight compare to aftermarket wheels? I heard it's already pretty light!
-
Yup exactly what I'm getting! At first I was gonna get an AP 4pot for the front, but then decided to just get alloy bells disc rotors and Pagid RS14 pads.. At least i didn't get additional weight on the car! And get around 10lbs. of unsprung weight too 🙂

Post again as i cant edit my post, meant to say 235 not 225
Running a 205/45/16 front tyre has been done LOTS of times by many people (Everyone who ran Toyo R1R tyres for a start)
Lotus used the AD08 205/45/16 and 235/40/17 on the Elise cup 260. Using the same 7x16 / 8x17 wheels and body work as the regular 250 cup.
So yes they will fit and work
Great! But I'll try with the Toyo R888R tires... I heard it has a "beefier" sidewall than the AD08s..

Not from what I’ve been told.
Matt Bentley Racing fits them to S2 Exige & Elise Cups. They said they are fine.MBR said they haven't tried the 235/205 setup yet...
-
Oh really? no rubbing issues I guess since the 260 cup has the same wheels with the 250...
-
Anyone here tried the Toyo R888R 235 and 205 tires for the Elise 250 cup?
-
I just ordered the RRR ECU and a 2bular exhaust system... they claim my car (250cup) can go up to 290-295hp with this simple upgrade! Sounds worth it if you ask me, can't wait to get them! 🤗

-
What's the width of the oem cup wheels? Is it 17x8" and 16x6"? Or 16x7" for the front? Anyone tried 235/40/17 rear tires on oem rims?

Am I the only person that actually prefers the older (closed) shifter on an Elise?
I understand that on an S3 Exige the open shifter is a big improvement, but on the Elise the closed shifter works great, quick, smooth and accurate. I've owned 2x Exige 350 Sports and although the open shifter looked great I found it to be a bit 'clackety' in operation and being wider at the front it rubbed my calf muscle!
Ok so maybe I'm a bit odd
LOL! Yeah you have point, I've decided to keep my "closed" shifter since the car came out from factory like that. Before I thought they just deleted the shift boot, not knowing it's totally different. I'll just upgrade my brakes after installing exhaust and ECU 🙂

Not in my personal experience, unless you change the master cylinder also. Which you _really_ need to do if you are putting the fronts on the rears, as the brake balance goes wrong. With just the 4-pots on the front, the brakes are very effective, don't get me wrong, but there is pedal travel before they do so. Putting fronts on rears is just adding unsprung weight for little gain, as you have to retain the standard caliper for handbrake (or add a spot). Alot of hassle for not much benefit to most users, with most power levels. But just my opinion... take it with as much salt as you like
Dave
Yeah I get what you're saying... I'll be adding unsprung weight for the front calipers and bigger rotors. They will be floating rotors though 🤔

It's definitely an improvement, but whether it justifies the cost is a bit more subjective I suppose - for some it's worth it.
Not available for the older cars, that would be a bespoke project at this point. The parts are available off the shelf for Exige V6 and Elise S3 (EC60 gearbox).
I just remembered, that doesn't include any of the interior trim parts. So there's a bit more to add.
Dave
Personally I wouldn't, the 4-pot front brakes gives a long pedal with the standard master cylinder, and really isn't necessary. Change the pads and fluid first.
Dave
Wow it will total to at least £3k if I did the conversion... I really didn't know that the shifter is totally different.
About the AP 308 brake kit, it doesn't improve the brake feel? I was planning to get the AP racing 308 floating rotor kit and transfer my front calipers to the rear brakes... I saw a lot of Elise track cars did this already around the world?
I thought it's a nice upgrade since I'm getting more hp from the exhaust and ecu...

It's about £2k+VAT fitted, most of which is parts from Lotus.
Dave
Wow! Will get the AP bbk and rear floating rotors first 😅

I returned the RRR ECU and just asked for full refund... it seems the ECU was not "plug n play" type, car won't crank after installing it. My car probably has a different version or region. After they helped and did a team viewing, the ECU didn't seem to have any file in it... they said it was corrupted or something. I'm just glad they sent me a full refund after sending the ECU back to them. I installed the full 2bular exhaust and it was AMAZING! Quality and sound of the exhaust were A+++, highly recommended! I shed around 6.74kg from the 2bular system against the stock exhaust... not bad considering it's already a long tube manifold design 🙂
