Daveb99 Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Great choice Rich - glad I could help a little pre-purchase and good to see you’ve gone through with it 👍🏻
richbk Posted February 14, 2022 Author Posted February 14, 2022 So Ethan’s busy with work and has asked me to post a few pics . Colour is deep metallic purple which is spookily what my exige was when I bought it before it entered its blue phase …
Martin R Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 O what fun lol enjoy. I doubt there is anything you need that is not in my garage. You ae welcome to use and return. No point buying ball joint tools etc i have them. You can remove bushes using two sockets and a big vice. Use OE no need to be fancy. You might need a bit of bush lubricant to get them to seat correctly when replacing. No idea if my old thread is still on here from "cough" a couple of years ago. If it were me i would go for S2 Bilsteins. You may well find a second hand set at reasonable prices if you keep your eyes open. I would blast, passivate and POR clear the wishbones as you can see whats going on after? Nothing wrong with OE toelinks for a road car. fit new and check they are tight and still rotate once a year using a spanner on the flats provided. people dont check them and then complain when they seize and break. I will PM my mobile number if i can help? Text or give me a ring if required. I also have allsorts in my loft lol.
Martin R Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Steve Geragaty had one that colour. No idea if he still has it.

richbk Posted February 14, 2022 Author Posted February 14, 2022 I am sure he might regret it after the 20th phone call about removing a heater matrix 🤕. As mentioned the previous owner ( an absolute gentleman who was very honest , hospitable and even filled the car with fuel for me to get home from collection ) had had to keep the car outside and despite mechanically keeping it tip top and serviced had , I think , just fallen out of love with it and moved on with his life to new adventures. I have go admit I was heading a similar route with my exige having managed a paltry 2k miles in the last 4 years , but my sons interest and the last Sunday peaks run before Xmas when I tagged on the end of the run near crowdecote got me back in the groove of these fab little cars .

DeanB Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Rich there are some 135 cams for sale on facebook - the lotus used parts - worldwide page. Only £100 the pair! I think he has only just listed them. Be quick!
richbk Posted February 15, 2022 Author Posted February 15, 2022 I have already snaffled a pair for £120 local to my lads work In Shropshire. He is picking them up tomorrow. Suspension is the tricky find . I sold my S2 Bilsteins of my exige for £250 when I swopped to ohlins ….. it seems it’s going for more than that for just a front pair second hand atm !!
Jonathan E Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Sorry Rich, no Compomotives knocking around my place I'm afraid, to be honest they'd be a bloody headache now, AWI's are getting hard enough to find, imagine biffing a MO, rarer than hens teeth these days. Great offer from Martin(hope your keeping well Martin👍) Not much he won't be able to put you straight on.
