I'll chip in my two pence worth. After getting the traction control light only light on maybe once or twice per year since owning the car on a recent tour of lake district it was happening every journey, so after a quick google I thought the first place to start was changing the brake pedal sensor (I ordered from monkey wrench racing in US and cost nearly £30.... I think its possible to find a lot cheaper at a local motor factor https://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/product/grp-brake-pedal-switch-evora/). At first it didn't seem to have worked but after a quick text to a friendly lotus master tech he said the way he recommends to install rather than setting 'clicks' is to just pull plunger all the way out, push the brake pedal in and fit and then let brake pedal push switch in and set number of clicks (will make sense when it in front of you).. bobs your uncle all fine now after a month or so. As an aside (and to get back on thread) and i'm not 100% its not a placebo I do feel its become a lot more consistent when blipping the throttle for heal and toe, which I did used to find inconsistent. so for a relatively cheap potential fix if you suffer from heal and toe inconsistency, maybe try changing brake pedal switch.

Not available in 17 or 18 inch. PS4 only option if you want latest Michelin and not Cup 2's

Surely if you just stuck manifolds on a stock v6 and get a remap from Essex autosport you would be about 400 bhp anyway? 2bular manifolds and cat and a custom map would be my chosen route if I ever go down the more power path.

Congrats is the consensus that a gearbox oil cooler is needed with this mod?

I’m just surprised is all. I’ve only ever looked at the 2bular manifolds and with that one you buy the manifold and downpipe as a set. Presumably the komotec version is stronger than the stock one thus preventing you from having another failure.... Im probably wrong but I would expect a fully engineered exhaust from manifolds to back box would give better performance than half stock half new

Me too. I have a lot of time for komo-tec but I’m gobsmacked that they aren’t thrown in as part of the conversion. It’s like not changing underlay when you change your carpets. Yes you probably won’t notice any difference but for the relative additional cost compared to carpet you just do it anyway. Maybe I’m just OCD.

Aren’t they changed as part of the 460 upgrade anyway? Or is there an improved design?

Hi Thanks for he detailed response ?

Hi My car is 4 years old this year and I see in the service book it recommends a coolant change. Are there any recommended coolant fluids people have used when their cars have turned 4 years old. I have never had a car that's needed a coolant change before. Is it even necessary? Cheers

What are you getting next Dave? 430?

Apart from making an annoying noise does it actually cause a problem?

Redline MT90 gets my vote

I have pearlescent white exterior with venom red interior. I wasn’t keen on it at first but after viewing in the flesh I love it, I feel it makes the car a bit more special on the inside. When I got mine (14 reg) you only got quilted leather in the roadster but mine is specced with it in a coupe

Would it just be a lot easier to buy a 2bular track system which sounds better than stock one anyway and stick the add on silencers on yourself when required?

Rightio thanks ?

That looks like a winner. Any idea on price? Can’t seem to spot it on website.

Do you have a link please? it does look a bit of a faff in that its stuck in but I would remove tailgate and then work on the glass once your not leaning over the car in an awkward position.

Im still waiting for one the after market companies to reproduce this part. Lotus prices are ridiculous. I think I read somewhere that someone was developing one but seems to have gone quiet.

Obviously everyone here would (quite rightly) pick your Lotus but after that in that lineup which one would you go for? I think it’d be 4.0 for me. Great lineup of cars that. How did the Lotus compare in outright speed George?

That's how Lewis Hamilton likes his f1 car so must be good

I'd certainly have the upgrade if lotus offered it. But if they want to charge the best part of £2000 for a louvred boot lid they would probably want £25k for a pulley and map and a fuel pump that no other tuning company seems to think is required

Your sprint has a certain amount of wow factor that you may lose with a less exciting paint job im also thinking along the same lines having had my car for over 3 years now, but I personally just don't think the newer cars (350/380) warrant the extra money. Maybe on the used market in year or two I could be tempted. Nice predicament to be in though for you. No downside really

Hi its interesting you now have the full valve control with the 2bular back box. I presume you aren't running it forced closed on track days? I specifically asked Jim about doing this when I was ordering mine (ended up with track system) and he strongly advised against forcing the valve shut at higher revs, his main argument besides the obvious extra back pressure on the engine was the heat would destroy the exhaust valve, so be interesting to see what you find. sounds like you have the best of both worlds and no faff with add on silencers.. also can I ask why you never went with the KT clutch and uprated flywheel please? I always had in the back on my head if/when clutch ever needs a change that's the system I would go for..... also great news to hear that H111 have managed to drastically reduce the time to swap a clutch.

I'll second that comment. Great work Imran

I guess what you are both saying is that if you want some Nitrons don't buy bog standard Nitrons, buy either one of your kits
