I've fitted Powerflex bushes to various different cars over the years, and taken them off as well!
My overall findings are that proper sportscars respond well to them. Big heavy fast cars not so much. In bigger cars you need a bit more give in the suspension.
I put them on the front and rear of my Evora S last year and been pleased. (ARB bushes)
(Powerflex do 2 for the Evora. A black harder track one and a purple road one. I chose the purple)
Hope that helps.

You can do it with the car sat on ramps or with a pit. No need to remove wheels.
Fairly straightforward depending on how your front undertray comes off.
Worth checking hvac unit drain hose and other drain hoses/holes for blockages whilst the front undertray is off.
Remember to lube up your new bushes well if using Poweflex.

Stupid question @Reindeer do I need to order one box or two to do both sides?
One box does both sides! Cheers

Looks great! Same colour as mine.
Have yours got the reflector inside?
-
Sorry! Should have clarified....they're after market rear lights....Made in America by a chap called Greg.
Website is Greg's Racing Parts....Hence GRP.
These are ones are the third version, V3.
Cheers

Peugeot 406 handbrake shoes are indeed correct fitment for the Evora NA and S......Not sure about the 400.
All fitted today, no dramas.

Absolute bargain!! Enjoy. Looks great!

Mine did this tonight........
I replaced ARB bushes and drop links less than 500 miles ago.
Very strange noise! Only at crawl on full lock......
Will let you know if I work it out.

Have you still got the VXR8?
I do miss a big V8 in my life!
Went from the M5 to Jag XFR.....the supercharged V8 in that was glorious.

I've stuck with gloss black and will continue to do so.....
But.....a colour that always appeals and works well as its slightly darker is called "Shadow Chrome". BMW used it on some M cars a few years ago and I think it's a good in between for silver or black....
Worth a Google. It looks incredibly when done properly and in real life. Almost like a silver grey coming through black....
50 minutes ago, mik said:I’ve never been a big fan of black wheels (in general) as you lose that clean visual separation from the tyres. I have to admit they do look very “coherent” on the Sports Racer though - when they are clean reflections from the glossy black finish are strong enough that they “work” visually.
They are less convincing with a layer of dirt on them though.... 🤔
I don’t think I am too far away from a wheel refurb. I am hugely tempted to veer away from the oem gloss black. Thinking anthracite/gunmetal - something that is still dark but - crucially - not black.
I won’t revert to silver, but a bit brighter might work - bronze does appeal.
Any Sports Racer owners been down a similar route and willing to show photos?
thanks in advance 😁👍
Picture of my old M5 with Shadow Chrome wheels. Can't find the close ups on my phone.

Thanks Bravo.
As a gamble late last night.....I've ordered these...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154333805660
Will let everyone know!

I wish it was that......
I changed the brake lines, calipers, discs and pads......At the end I overadjusted the handbrake shoes......
Which decided to stick on whilst going round the M25, scorch the disc, burn off the disc paint and turn the original shoes into a charred mess.
Lesson. Don't adjust your handbrake shoes too tight!
-
Has anyone managed to find these?
Its not clear on Deroure which part they are and if they are the ones I think on there.......then they have the usual lotus tax bringing them to £100 plus. Which is crazy for handbrake shoes.
Anyone found another option?
Thanks all

😂 That's a good question, never tried this kind of combo.
I don't know what's inside an MO spec Pirelli. It depends of the car it was developed for and was made to match with a specific rear to fulfill a specification of dry Handling, wet Handling, RR,...
It's a proper Lottery there
Nice one! I'll keep you posted about how many hairy moments I have this summer!

1.8 front & 2.0 is what I use on PSS.
However, the OEM TPMS might not be too happy with those values (and can’t be adjusted, BTW).
Blimey that's low!!!
Can I ask why that low? Does it handle better or is it more about comfort?
Cheers
@rallyesax I've now got MO P Zeros on the front and MO PS4S's on the rear......Am I going to end up in a hedge?
-
I've just fitted Pilot Sport 4S's to my rear........
What is the general consensus on best tyre pressures for the 4S's?
This is on the 19/20 inch wheel set up.
Thanks all.

My 2013 has a few tiny bubbles on the same panel.....

Powerhouse always had a good reputation in the Jag world and that's a decent update.
Interesting stuff!
And not too expensive to fix in the grand scheme of things....
I'd be tempted to forward on to Lotus? Not sure what it would achieve but maybe worthwhile?
