Rota Slipstream fits on the S240?
Published (2009-11-10 17:47:00)
brthtakr, cup wheels have no room for big brakes? meaning the 240 already has bigger brakes or it has stock elise brakes but the cup wheels are tighter fit than stock?... The real question is what brakes does the s240 have? If already having bigger brakes which fill the 16/17's that are stock, then yeah, no way the rota's 15/16 would fit. The rota 16/17 "could" fit however unless you're already sure of design...

Wow! The more I read the more difficult for me to decide. I thought I was decided on R888s but then read about negatives about them and also read about R1Rs. I know they are a step down from R888s but thinking it would be more practical not to mention cheaper. Hmmm..choices, choices, choices.....fun.

Understeer reduction.

What I had *read* was that many companies (Lotus included) use a lower recommended front tire pressure as one of the ways to increase understeer as understeer is safer for less experienced drivers to deal with. As a means...

I just bought the RE01Rs from TR on closeout. I asked them about 245s and they told me that they were out of spec for the LSS wheels so I went with the 235s....they seem fine so far.

No way. There is only 2mm or less clearance to the standard front caliper. The Rotas are a cinch to clean. Cup wheels even easier to clean, with room for big brakes.

Try running the Goodyears 3psi higher than stock, to compensate for a
slightly less stiff sidewall. That's what I am doing and I like the way the
car handles that way.

good job on the toe and corner weights. bad job on the camber if the front is maxed out,no shims inc the abs bracket.add one to the right front. if ther not all out take one out of the LF.you want it even .9 to 1.1 is what you get with the stock arms. In the rear take out 3 on the LR and 4on the RR to get to appprox-2.4 .also you may want to drop the front to 120 and keep the rear @124 you need...

on the rear tire, the inside most tread section are bumpy. at each of the groove section, the front portion is higher than the rear portion. what gives?
and are these the stock suspension for the ...

I just broke my 3rd manual air pump last night while inflating the tires on my Honda Element. I've tried both the floor/foot pump and upright (like for a bicycle tire) pumps. They just don't seem to last.
I don't have room in the garage for a compressor.
Anyone have a brand suggestion for me?
Thanks!

Those on the S1 aren't the carbon/magnesium dymag wheels though. I would like to get a set, but don't make 16 & 17s. Although I have heard for the past 2 years that they're supposed to have Lotus sizes. Better not be only 17x8 in the back. How much would each be? Like a grand? I'll wait...
