Popular Post GFWilliams Posted January 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Not hugely relevant to my Exige, but part 2 is here: I'm amazed how well these videos are doing, 200k views in a month now, so looks like I should keep making more! Now what other adventures can I do in my Lotus? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oujew Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Another Excellent video - keep them coming 😀 This & your earlier posts have are inspired me to plan my own adventures in my Lotus. The first will be a trip to Mendig in April to install EX460, LSD & Kobra Big Brake kit, followed by a tour around the Black Forest 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GFWilliams Posted January 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Haven't had much free time recently as work has been pretty flat out with lots of travelling, but car has been at Back on Track for the last week getting a bit of love. Supercharger belt wasn't in a good state, so needed replacing They had to take an engine mount out to get to it, it wasn't in a good state so we've replaced that too I had a bit of a knocking noise from the rear, turned out to be the rear toe links I ordered spitfire toe links as I thought, may as well upgrade while I'm changing bits Also, onto my third set of front KT discs & pads. The bell has clearly got too hot quite a few times and could really do with getting anodised at some point to make it black again. I could also do with painting the callipers at some point this year. Under the arches looks particularly dirty thanks to the protective wax coating which dirt likes to stick to. BoT are going to remove the mud flaps and fully clean under the arches and the underside of the car, then reprotect it with a fresh new coat of the spray wax. Under the wax and dirt, the wishbones are actually in good condition which is nice, although the under trays are looking a bit furry now. I've always been on the opinion that if things like this happen, I will just repair or replace as and when they're needed. It's worth it IMO for the enjoyment I get from driving it! I was thinking about getting the wishbones powdercoated and replacing the uprights this winter, but I think I will leave that until next year now as there isn't much need to do it at the moment. The car has also had a full big service with gearbox oil, new coolant, engine oil, filters, brake fluid, spark plugs, etc. As always, I've got big plans for the car this year, I'll be documenting this on my YouTube channel when they get started. The main thing will divide opinions... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GFWilliams Posted January 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Just been sent this by Sam at Back on Track, they’ve done a great job of cleaning it, and also shows how well the wax coating has worked to protect the components considering the car has 59k miles and has been driven in salty conditions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GFWilliams Posted February 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 So cat is out the bag, my car will be resprayed this year. I've created a totally unique colour, which I actually mixed up from scratch which was an awesome process. I'll be producing a video of it soon (when I have time to edit it!). Realistically, I'm aiming for end of April or early May to get the spraying done as it needs to fit in around my busy work schedule as I want to film and photograph it all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it pays off. Will divide opinions a bit... Plus, I'll need another thread title change. I'll reveal the colour very soon when I post the video of mixing the paint samples. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon paint - and it is not very nice. I'd bet on something with liquid yellow accents - otherwise the interior will need re-doing too....... Maybe green with yellow?

GFWilliams Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I said it'd divide opinions... I'm aware that it won't be for everyone, and I respect that, but I love the colour and have my reasons for choosing it. Some people take things too seriously, it's a fun car, it's a bit of fun If it brings smiles to peoples faces as I drive around, I'll call it a success! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
