    Hand Brake Dragging on Track

    Thanks, Good to see your using them. Unfortunate callipers do change colour but part of using them. My local dealer is really good here, Ill have to ask him to show me the procedure, supposedly no further adjustment. If this was an actual issue then I would highly expect you'd be seeing the...

    Low dust brake pad options

    Thanks, just went on before reading the Hawk write up. That was really good thanks. I am getting to the point it may be worth swapping pads when going to the track.

    Hand Brake Dragging on Track

    Hi Everyone, Only tracked the car twice, both times this has occurred. For those of you who have actually used the brakes to the maximum capability on a track day have you found any issues with the rear Brake handbrake dragging. I am assuming from thermal expansion. First stop is of course...

    Touring shocks swap for sorts shocks.

    I know what you mean coming from Radicals and Formula3 which Covid screwed up for me. Tyre wise Ive gone to the Conti SC 7's and its a massive improvement over the Goodyears. 5-6secs at Morgan Park. Probably 3 secs in the tyres and 3 secs in Driver confidence.

    Touring shocks swap for sorts shocks.

    I bought the directors car in stock rather than wait. Was happy with the Touring on the road and figured Id go from there. But really should just get another race car which I couldnt be bothered doing. Ill go the Ohlins 3 ways and be done with it eventually most likly and the Sports suspension...

    Carbon Ceramic Brakes for Lotus Emira

    More the fact of this and do you get 3 to 4 times the life out of it to justify cost. Then it comes down to do you want that level of performance added with the unsprung weight saving or spend the money on some Magnesium rims instead???? And here I am thinking I wont be modifying this car lol

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    True that is certainly the conception and when youve made a product that either controls the market or people just simply cant get enough of you get away with it. When things get tough Ill stick with my way and people stick with me.

    Emira track impressions

    Ahhh the slippery slop of now going to the track. Looks like the bug has bitten you. Great way to approach going to the track and getting some instructing. Its a different place to the road. One rule of thumb to remember. At the end of the day dont go for that 1 last run. Thats when it can go...

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    Yes, still wonder what some of these current CEO's are thinking, eg, no idea. My simply business rule has always been simple. "Take care of your staff, take care of your customers and the money comes" Most CEOs these days are simply woke people who did an MBA and with no real idea how the...

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    Me as CEO Drop the Electric cars now and all costs associated with it. It could be resurrected in the future if required.!!!!! Look at viability of PEV or anything for the Eletre and get an SUV out there. Seems to be the approach that has save other brands. Spend the effort on turning the Emira...

    JUBU spec Ohlins TTX suspension road & sport (2-way)… PURE ART

    So from my experience I fit the Ohlins 3 ways from Statis Engineering who used to race Audis. They had also "dialed them in" shall we say. They were the top level they sold and best I knew of that were available. I fit them to 2 cars, RS4 and an S3. The spring rates they were able to run were...

    Emira track impressions

    Goodyear Eagle F1's on the track feel like running on stilts. I have Touring suspensio0n which is a bit of a let down but for a stock car its certainly reasonable however. My local track I went to once and was doing around 1'33. Only changed to Continental Sportcontact 7's and find i was in...

    To Corner balance or not to Corner balance

    If your putting coilovers on definitely corner balance it. Remember you are driving a sprung platform and you want is as even as you can get it. Jusst ensure Left and Right on the front and rear axel are even then the diagonals are even. Can be alot of stuffing around but the car will drive way...

    JUBU spec Ohlins TTX suspension road & sport (2-way)… PURE ART

    Best Way to do it, however if I go this way I will go with the 3 ways for high speed adjustability to work on ride comfort more so. Keen on your impressions once fitted for a while. Should be a total game changer.

    Touring shocks swap for sorts shocks.

    Lotus shares are down 90% from IPO

    To be honest Im surprised Geely doesnt commit Lotus to F1 and put the money into that. Would be a great way to re-release the brand and secure sales of almost any model.

    12mm spacers, seems a bit much on front

    The 12mm ones look great and are fine. Had them on but only just worked out no insurance and illegal here if not OEM so took them off. If I could Id put them back on, make a great difference.

    GRP Hub Centric 12mm Wheel Spacers - Silver

    Well I should of checked but where I live non OEM spacers are illegal and insurance wont cover either. So off they come. These really give the stance the car needs and look great. Would leave them on if I could. Open o reasonable offers. Located in Australia. Happy to ship globally at buyers...

    12mm spacers, seems a bit much on front

    Fitted the 12mm spacers from GRP and was concerned they may be too wide. They arent, Just right. I haven't lowered the car.....yet but would only help to improve the overall look and stance. I changed to the Continental Sportcontact 7's at the same time.

    Advice for tire pressures: Eagle F1's on track?

    Found aiming for higher hot pressure around 36-38 they started coming good. The F1s I love on the road but still disappointing on the track.
