Re: Kumho Ecsta AST
I had originally shortlisted five different tyres and narrowed it down to the kumho hs51 ecsta. I chose the 205 variant for two reasons: 1) I was concerned of the additional load put on the power steering pump by a wider profile tyre 2) while my wheels aren't damaged I did not consider them concours...

Re: Kumho Ecsta AST
Hi guys, I'm very curious about this post because from what I can see since approximately 2010 every discussion regarding tyre sizes pretty much across all forums has stated that a 225 width tyre will always foul on the inner wing and yet we have two instances here where 225s have fitted perfectly. ...

Re: Door seal confusion
Rather late to this chat (as usual), but does anyone have a proven seal that works, currently?

Re: Exhaust-modify or not?
I'm thinking I will probably order the LB system next week. It's around a 10 week wait (from order & payment) for the exhaust to be made up, which is a bit annoying. - I spoke to Mike Taylor and he said that they had (I believe) a couple of systems coming into stock in the next week or so.Might be ...

Re: Exhaust-modify or not?
Hi Phil, - yes, I was told that it was boomy on the motorway but I have spoken to Lotusbits directly and they have told me that there is a resonance around 2k to 2.2k rpm and thats it. Louder yes, boomy no. The front box is disintegrating on my car and I was hoping that I might be able to take a mod...

Re: Exhaust-modify or not?
Thanks Tony, I noticed with Classic Team Lotus they offered two versions of the exhaust (in simple layman terms) what is the difference between the two: Peco & Grundy? I have heard the Classic Team Lotus and SJS source their exhausts from the same company and their flanges and some of their pipes ar...

Re: Exhaust-modify or not?
Hi Guys, I am very interested to hear the views of the people in this post (or anyone else) who have had a new system fitted and have lived with it for a while. Does it still sound the same and are your thoughts unchanged from your original posts, over two years ago? When I used to fit new SS exhaus...

Re: 215/50r15 back in production
Has anyone had experience of fitting both Vredestein Sprint+ 215/50ZR15 88W and 215/50 VR 15 PIRELLI P700-Z ? The Pirelli compound was an original design circa 1988 (which the cars handling was set up on) I wonder whether the Vredestein compound behaves more favorably utilising the latest compound t...

"I wouldn't get too fixated about Service History as whether it had a stamp in the book in 2003 is a bit irrelevant today." I totally agree with you but the point I was trying to make was if you are going to pay a premium for it being a low mileage car and then you find it has done 60-100k more the...

Re: Last one (allegedly)
Hello Dwayne, Welcome to the Lotus Grand Tourers. I am very sorry to hear about the odometer problem. From my experience of viewing the Excel over the years, I have found a very high number of cars which have suffered odometer failures. :cry: Sadly these cars have not been the most loved amongst the...
