Has it been officially confirmed as a coupe only or just 'quoted' as?

Renault 4 pot from the Alpine?

The manifolds are the same for all evoras, or are you looking for the Toyota equivalent?

Personally I wouldn't bother with the plack when you have a Swindon system! Surely it's just cheaper cut the joint and get a flange welded on. As far as I know, but I'm no expert, the manifolds on all evoras are the same, the only difference we as the downpipe as they changed where the join to the exhaust was. So its the downpipe and exhaust that have to match So if the Swindon system retains the factory manifolds then the down pipe you purchase can be either, which ever suits the joint to the plack the best. I may be wrong but I thought the Swindon system replaced the manifolds as well. So you would then need to buy new manifolds and downpipe which I imagine would start to get expensive!

@Bruss Tarmac Terrorist would probabley know better as he did the conversion (suspension and gearbox etc) on his red GTE (not GT350) that still has its original engine. I think you are right in that they did originally have their own ecu but will run off the lotus ecu (but not at the 400+ bhp). I cant remember if TT changed the ecu in the end but was getting 385ish on his lotus ecu. Speaking to ES is a good shout and probabley easier than Strattons.

So it is a Swindon exhaust not a Stratton one. Well in that case you have one of the original GTE engines then. So are you trying to identify the exact specification of the engine? In that case I can believe Stratton's don't know, as I presume they just got them in a create. Motorsport auctions did sell some which from memory listed the spec. If you want the spec then try Swindon engines. @Bruss isn't this what you've got in yours or have I just made that up?

If your car is the car from the J Emma video, then they threw a load of GTE parts at it. Hence the Swindon engine and door cards etc. I am amazed that Stratton's can't confirm what they did? Are the exhaust and down pipes not Swindon units like the engine?

Geely even

Geeky, I'm sure I read somewhere they do a very similar/copy v6. I like the v6 and 500 bhp not £105k so much 🤣

Ooo more rumours https://www.caradvice.com.au/947690/new-lotus-type-131-sports-car-to-debut-on-tuesday/

Yep there was an official fix, no I'm not joking, where you drilled holes in the boot floor. At least then any water that got in could get out. Worked a treat. You can try putting chalk on your seal and closing the boot, if thee are any areas that don't touch then it will be obvious.

How long has it been doing it? First thing to try is to tighten the wheel nuts, that will cause a clicking, noticeable at low speed but will turn into a knocking over 100-150 miles.

I've always started with lotus recommend cold pressures, but when the tyres are warm. Check them after each session as they may need adjusting. Gav

if you take the trim pice off you can check if the wiring is there for the switch, either that or pull te seats out. Gav

Absolutley agree with all the above. Also as I suspected mine had got a little low on gas as it would freeze up, I got a top up canister from halfords. Its simple enough and no more scientific than a pressure guage which you adjust depending on the ambient temperature, but it does allow you to top the system up without a dealer trip. It worked a treat, it also help my diagnose my mums car aircon which had been overgassed!

Don't shoot me but Halfords make up touch up paint to the manufactures code. Had some for both my lotus and mini, both are a good match.

Pop the trim panel off and see if you have the wiring for the second row if switches. If so plug it into the adjacent switch panel and see if anything works. My 2010, the boot release worked but the seats didn't, but only one had elements in anyway.

Not always! 🤣

my lad knows to be careful in the lotus compared with my mini but doesnt stop me taking him and his mates to macdonalds ☺

Plus import duty and tax no doubt but still better than the grand I thought it was going to be! I'm still up for it, anyone else? I'm near Blackpool, don't know if anyone else is up this way?

Well that's better than the £475 their site quotes for shipping!

Careful they dont leave a note through the door......sorry we mised you!😂

I replaced the back box on my na with a switchable 2bular, nice sound normal, epic on bypass as it was essentially a straight through pipe 😁

Youve got no sense of adventure 😂🤣. I have a van 😁

We need someone who's bringing over a container with some spare space! I'm near Blackpool but happy to travel. Maybe we could relay them, with someone taking theirs and dropping of the remainder with the next person along. Gav
