Re: Steering Rack removal
I couldn't get mine out (Excel SE, 1989, with A/C) via the wheel arch. At the time, I posted a request here for some help then Lotusbits responded and told me to call them. Dave told me it would come out directly from below with some wiggling. I'll see if I can find my original post and link it here...

Re: Hampshire meet up Revival
Hi All,
I'm terribly sorry guys but I'm double-booked for Sunday. I didn't make a note of the date and I've already paid to attend the Wessex Club Lotus day out.

Re: Hampshire meet up Revival
Good PLan Shaun. Looking forward to it. I'll remember to drive within the speed limits too (particularly now that Mark told me that there's now average speed cameras along the A272) - as I always do.

Re: Hampshire Meet up
Hi Gents,
I'm going to the Hendy Performance Day, so hope to see you there.
I'm also gong to the Lotus Castle Coombe trackday this coming weekend (27th May) - However, I'm going in my VX220 as I'm going on track. I'll keep me eye out for the Excel 'gaggle'
Cheers, Martin.

Re: Speedometer for a 87 SE
I love the way that Lotus has fitted a speedo reading up to 160 MPH - really?

Re: Brake upgrades
Thanks for the info Stu,
Was the improvement in braking significant?
Would you recommend going for the the bigger 300mm discs or are the 286mm good enough?

Brake upgrades
I'm seriously considering a brake upgrade as I find brakes really don't give me much confidence. The main issue is lack of 'positivity'. I'm not planning to take it on track as it's only a road car, but I'm primarily looking for a better pedal feel. I currently have Mintex 1144 pads which have helpe...
