Dolomiti precision Lotus gear shifter - 2004 > S2/S3 Toyota Elise/Exige / Evora?

[Seb]

I have an Evora quite close to the Italian border. Already wrote an email, so let's see how it turns out.

I saw a review today, it looks like for Elise the lever is a bit off the vertical towards the passenger side. I wonder if a different angle will work for Evora? I've not pulled my interior apart to see what angle the OEM shifter sits at!

Pay attention to that review, the image on the video are with an INCORRECT setup.

With a correct setup the lever in Neutral in only a bit on the Right.

NB: the shifter is designed to have the same angular movement both on the left in reverse and on the right in 5/6th gears, so it obviously remains a bit on the right in neutral/3rd/4th gears.

I see, since I am RHD then the lever would actually be towards me? I will check later what angle it sits normally, might mean climbing into the back

[manuel.400]

We can eventually adjust that, but remember that the true limit is that the lever must select all gears without hitting the consolle..

Hi @manuel.400. Do you have any photos of the shifter installed under the OEM gear lever/parking brake cover ? Also, can I fit the original gear knob from my MY11 Elise S3 to your shifter?

[manuel.400]

Ciao,

Under the stock cover you don't see nothing.

I can make a pic but you will only see the cover..

Yes, on an 2011 S3 Elise you can reuse your stock gear knob.

Write me info@dolomitishifter.com

Thanks, Manuel

[EuropaSman]

Thanks @manuel.400. Understood.

I'm now saving up for one of your shifters!

Any news on the Evora front?

[manuel.400]

Evora still on going, I think the specific kit could be completed during the 2023/2024 winter season..

Now ready to ship 1 pcs for each colour combo available on the webshop: Shop - Dolomiti Shifter

Guys,

thanks to @Seb the Evora project is on going 😊

I think it will take some time, but I expect the result will be very good.

Opposite to the Elise/Exige version that is fully plug&play, the Evora kit will need customers to cut a bit the internal side of the stock shifter cover (on the left side cover)

I post here some draft where the front part si completed, still working on the rear frame.

If someone could be interested in, please write to info@dolomitishifter.com

Starting Price will be about 1300€ (+ eventually adds-on and shipping)

Preorders will be open on the webshop from January 2024, estimated delivery May/June 2024

Great work Manuel. More superb engineering.

" Evora kit will need customers to cut a bit the internal side of the stock shifter cover (on the left side cover) ..."

Assume that same applies to RHD cars?

So this would be for all Evoras up to 2017?

[manuel.400]

I'm working on a LHD car.

On the Lotus parts diagram I don't find specifitation to LHD or RHD shifter, also the base has an unique code, so I assume that it should works both the drive sides.

But I think that I'll ask some quote to the 1st guy who will be interested for an RHD car, just to be sure.

A fantastic piece of engineering. Well done!
