Expert Posts: 5629 Location: Letchworth/Basildon | As most of you know by now, I bought this car earlier in the year. First things first, time for: Janspeed 160 manifold heatwrapped 2 1/4" exhaust system UJ mod on the gear linkage Lotus cam cover Z&F Remap New throttle cable (couldn't find any new so I made my own - better than OEM) Then a track day at Brands Hatch where she performed perfectly Now taken her off the road for winter and fitting a sump baffle Also coming up over the winder break is: 4.2FD gearbox with Torsen type B Lightweight Eliseparts Flywheel Polybushes for all engine mounts and gear linkage, completing every single possible polybush available for this setup now. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | Beauty I did have the poly-bush engine mounts but opted for the standard for less vibration | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 664 Location: Herts | Sweet, did you literally just cut the lugs off or do they need more mods? | ||

Expert Posts: 5629 Location: Letchworth/Basildon | t3gav - 12/1/2015 11:00 AM Sweet, did you literally just cut the lugs off or do they need more mods? Just cut the lugs off so far, they fit nicely in position laterally (the direction braking force is conducted) but with a little bit of movement up/down in the caliper, so will reserve judgement until I've driven them. | ||
