JayEmm 1,272 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm curious how the GT410 was not classified as a new model. Is it a case like the old "Eclat Excel" maybe?

I think you'll find the GT430 feels pretty special at low speeds even when it's not shouting. It's certainly nothing like a 718! It's not that quiet below 4500rpm either! First 5 blips here are below 4500rpm. oh that doesn't sound like the touring mode on my car. you can't really hear the exhaust when blipping in touring mode, this doesn't sound bad at all.

hml_xy 83 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I can say my blank „button“ is not a button and doesn‘t even push in. Its a cover / placeholder for where once a button was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
21gg 399 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Did you not tick the 'secret button' option then when speccing it? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pits 4,408 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 It can be made to work very easily by removing the thing that stops it being pushed in. This really isn’t the big deal some are making of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bispal 21 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I just took the blanking cover off my 430 cup. There is definitely no switch behind the cover.....I will ask Lotus if they can retro fir the switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarrylV8 224 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Central Lotus our local dealer, fitted the (loud) button to our 430 when they were prepping the car for us to collect they didn’t charge us so I assume this is a relatively easy job for a Lotus dealer to perform yes we use the button as soon as we are off the estate, the exhaust sound is very addictive at all revs 2 Quote Darryl & Sue Proud to drive and own a true British supercar the Evora GT430 Link to post Share on other sites
Birtyboy 22 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Are you still driving your GT430? I get mine this weekend and want to get the exhaust valve button activated. Lotus dealer in Bradford wouldn’t do it so I have to source and arrange this myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarrylV8 224 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi Steve, surprised JCT600 wouldn’t carry out the pretty simple modification. If you speak to Adam (Service Department) at Central Lotus I’m sure he will be pleased to assist you. Our 430 is tucked away in garage for winter I assume it is the Olive Green GT430 you are collecting, a really nice colour, enjoy.

The button does open the exhaust valve BUT it closes as soon as you press Sport button, so a bit pointless really. I have a brand new spare Komotec remote switch if anyone wants it.

Yes, will be keeping it on the road (and taxed..) and using it when the weather is ok, easier down here in Devon, I used my previous evora for odd trips over the winter, but not normally too far. Years ago I used a lotus elite 501 (then later on excels) as my daily driver to work even in some snow - added a couple of 25kg bags of aggregate in the boot. Have also fitted a new set of 4S to the 430. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does the remote switch replace the need for having the actual dash switch installed then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steady and safe drive home Yes that’s the one, was originally looking at the black one Silverstone have until I saw this one in green. Silverstone also wanted more money for theirs and it’s over a year older and out of warranty so didn’t make sense to me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
