Jghwilton 0 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ever since I was 12 I've dreamed of owning a lotus after having a hot lap in one. At the ripe old age of 25 I have traded my golf 7r for a black elise s2 1zz. I have already fallen in love with her but was wondering if anyone knew any history of T1 EOD. I'm curious on how she's been treated in her previous life and if anyone's seen her before. I was also considering taking her to have a quick check to someone like Gav at Unit 4 - do you think this is worth it? It would give me peace of mind knowing what work I'm going to need to carry out.

nickashton 4 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I would definitely recommend an initial inspection be carried out. Gav at unit 4 will do a thorough job of the check. If in doubt on the age of the cam belt I would certainly recommend changing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timbo 5 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 PJS look after my S1 and are excellent. Having them go over your new pride and joy is a good idea, especially to check it's all up to date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kerm111t 0 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Congratulations and welcome to Lotus ownership. Be warned, it has a tendency to become a bit addictive! Great looking car. Very different experience to the Golf R - less outright pace but far more raw and visceral, which in my opinion is what it’s all about. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scatty 50 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Welcome... I always wanted a Lotus after a few hot laps at rockingham years back... a quick once over wouldnt hurt at all... I’d recommend young Gav, top bloke and will look after you without costing the earth... his eye for detail is beyond... Edited January 24 by scatty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
