this thread reads like someone shedding a 200 quid pug 206 for the track but its with a 10's of thousands of pounds track weapon exige. Utterly brilliant!
Enjoyed reading it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Gotta be honest the Lotus ownership thing has been a tale of emotions and difficult conversations over the 3.5 years, but so far it's all been totally worth it and the car packs so much fun and experiences into a sub £100k budget that you can't imagine what else you could possibly own. The fire was a big challenge and is not something I'd want to repeat, but it's part of a story that my son will hopefully inherit and government allowing will be used properly for may years to come. Enjoyed reading it.
This coming year I've already got Silverstone booked for March with Lotus on Track. Then in May we're back to the Ring with DN. I'm hoping to get to Spa in the summer and also Goodwood but with the economic downturn threatening to punish us on the mortgage and energy front I'm reluctant to book too many too early. It's going to be an interesting year or so for a lot of people unfortunately.
Here's a couple of pics from the Christmas break. Literally the only dry day we got
Now in a slightly jocular way, why on earth would you do that? Take something that works add in the possibility of screwing up the cutting of a new thread, what's going on there? For some studs that don't look man enough for the job, especially for a predominantly a track car.
But hey what do I know, it's only your wheels

That's a bit of a silly comment to be honest.Firstly, he's obviously just cleaning up the original threads before installing the studs. Not cutting a new thread.
Secondly, can you explain how the M12 studs are less 'man enough for the job' than the M12 bolts they're replacing? I'd love to hear your logic on that one.
