    Is this a Club Lotus-only thing or can I book direct somewhere? Definitely interested in seeing how the 430 does.
  2. EGTE
    Just don't get the original Pirellis
  3. EGTE
    New bolts are cheaper than doing it all again......

    Happy to buy a ticket; just not planning on an all-day display indoors.
  5. EGTE
    I'm just going to have a look. Hopefully not too many "slammed" chav-chariots like that ruined BMW 2002 on their website.....

    Most displays polarise at 45 degrees.

    I'll go if there's a good Lotus turn-out.

    If you have more than one car, Admiral are particularly good. Otherwise, try Confused.com and pump up your excess for the first (painful) year?

    I'm going to query that bill, TBH. Plus no I did not get a coffee (will remedy that multiple times in future!). Back on topic, I do as much as I can myself, but most people want garages to do have done the work, for resale value. Lots of preventative work, such as Duralac-ing bolts, ACF-50-ing suspension/nuts, etc. Have changed dampers/springs on other cars and, as the other guys say, it's very educational/rewarding.

    My last bog-standard 2-year service on my GT410 was £690.......so starting to think like this myself. At the very least, won't be going back to main-dealer again!

    Bad time of year. Give it a month and things will improve drastically.
  12. EGTE
    Given what I just got charged for a B Service, you are not wrong! I honestly would have been shocked if a Porsche dealer had charged what they did. Won't be going back.

    Good to hear, thanks.
  14. EGTE
    That's good news, thanks Darryl.

    I've recently been wondering what they will do at Hethel once the Emira line ends. Emeya and Eletre are built entirely in China, aren't they? So they may not need Hethel after Emira? In that case, C8RKH's slightly apocryphal last sentence may turn out to be true.....which would be very sad indeed.

    I rate Contis highly, but for me it's impossible to beat the performance AND longevity of Michelins; in the long run, they work out very reasonably because they last longer. My GT410 had PS4S as standard.

    EGTE replied to Bibs's topic in Evora Chat

    I would go with standard.

    Looks fantastic to me. Plus, as you say, it's a wrap, so removable.
  20. EGTE
    I quite like it!
  21. EGTE
    Given there's only - I think - 25 GT430s in the UK, the chances of a spare used set is pretty slim!
  22. EGTE
    Yikes. That IS extreme!
  23. EGTE
    I won't disagree with you about using our cars, I do think that's pretty significant tin-worm. On that subject, I can highly recommend ACF-90 rust treatment; I've found it extremely good at combating and converting rust.
  24. EGTE
    Holy moley that is serious rust! Well done for getting someone else to tackle it; it will be quite the thing to disassemble!
  25. EGTE
    Is it effectively a NEW registration? That might be the angle to go for?
