Please tell us how the set-up session goes. Front of rear wing ground to chassis and rear of front wing ground to chassis is 165mm on all four corners so no rake at all? For use on roads (and the associated obstacles) I'd want to know the current clearance under the sump (or whatever) and to specify what that's going to be when it's done. Jonathan
That's the gauges, not the warning lights? Mine are original from 1998 and are white. If you're changing how about LEDs? (I have seen it suggested that the removal of the waste heat from incandescant lamps may increase misting!) Jonathan
Discussion: "VVC Conversion" Guide: "Adding VVC to an EU3 K Series Engine Wiring Loom"But: How similar are different VVC donor engines? "Seems a good way of going from 135 to 160!" I think you might be about to get suggestions exploring other tuning options...Jonathan
Sorry, I hate this new format - the formatting just doesn't work As you've probably just spotted there's a recent problem with formatting in original posts. And you've used the best known workaround: replying and formatting within that reply. Jonathan
... clean inside of them with acetone (nail varnish remover). Most over the counter nail varnish remover isn't acetone nowadays. Does it help to use something as aggressive as acetone rather than eg isopropanol? Jonathan
I’d like to drop the front a bit for track days then raise it back for clearance on the road. What's your current clearance under the sump and rake? ... correct tool for the collars? Which shock absorbers? Add a photo if you're not sure. Jonathan
Andrew suffered multiple posts while entering this and noticed something that's probably related: they anomalously appeared in his own view of "New and Updated". My guess on why this happens is in one of his threads. Jonathan
I think that the second thread returned by this search has what you need: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:lotus7.club+valve+clearances+xflow. Jonathan
I think I may need to just do a full "start again" as the right wing seems perfectly fine. I wouldn't assume that the other one is secure. I'd redo both, including: Preparation to bare metal. The preferred Sikaflex adhesive. Keeping the temperature within the recommended range for the recommended time. A full sausage roll.Jonathan
Please send me a Private Mail with details of the 7 (model, year, engine, dash) and your email address, and I'll try and find the appropriate Assembly Guide and Owner's Handbook. Jonathan
