Later ones have different uprights with a disc/drum hybrid.  Its a completely different set up.

 

That's interesting... That's probably for the 4-pot rears, but that would imply some different shaped rear uprights to accomodate all this.

 

 

thought that was only the Evora - http://www.deroure.c...&SMO=0&ST=&SC=0

I meant later models.  Its completely different suspension set up so non-transferable.

Sorry for the confusion.

The Exige S V6 is indeed completely different at the rear. (Subframe, A-arms, uprights, toelinks, brakes. All different.)

[Doctor Ed]

do any of the evora calipers fit the front upright of the vx?

Yup.. Because the back-end is lifted almost 1:1 from the Evora and has it's complete rear suspension.

 

Also the reason why the V6 Elise/Exige has 2 different bolt-patterns for wheels:

 

- 5x110 (aka. VX/Speedster/Europa) front

- 5x114.3 from the Evora (donated by a Toyota) rear

 

Makes wheel selection.. Umm.. 'Interesting'...

 

Bye, Arno.

those Tesla rear hub carriers must be for 298mm discs

 

vx220 standard rear disc is 288mm, therefore the caliper mounts would have to be 20mm further out for 308mm discs and going by the photo in the link (on page 1 of this thread) the threaded caliper mounting holes are no more than 10mm further away from the centre line.

Something to do with radius and diameter....

err... Divide by 2

only Lotus could do this , so mismatched hubs , discs , wheels

[FLD]

Lotus won't supply Tesla parts so we'd have to go via a Tesla dealer $$$

i bought myself a set... will update when stuff arrives

Can these 5/114.3 wheel bearing hubs be fitted to the VX220 front and rear? Br,Per

Nope

[Aerodynamic]

Why?

[Arno]

Rear of the V6 Elise shares the rear uprights off of the Evora and they are completely different parts from the Speedster.

 

Exige V6 rear suspension with 114.3x5:

 

 

Europa rear suspension (same as Speedster):

 

 

 

Most of the Evora and rear Elise-V6 parts come from the Toyota parts bin while the S2 Elise and Speedster is built up from mostly Opel/Vauxhall bits. They are not compatible without modifying parts.

 

Not saying it could not be done in some way with enough time and effort and money, just that it's not a direct fit.

 

Bye, Arno.

part numbers ?

 

supplier ?

 

rough cost ?

[Aerodynamic]

What does Evora have inte front for bolt pattern?

[vocky]

What does Evora have inte front for bolt pattern?

 

same pattern as the back - because it has the same hub on the front as the back
