Lotus Elise - Replacing the rear TOE Control Link - with the Motorsport Kit

This is the next video in my series of rebuilding my 135 R, it covers the replacement of the TOE control link with a Motorsport kit.

Absolutely amazing videos loaded with useful info on a car that has far too few resources for the typical do-it-yourselfer. Thank you for sharing!

ive just purchased my first Lotues based car. A VX220 (poor mans elise!) and I have been watching your excellent videos. Thank you for the great content

Just for a Opel Speedster and was looking for things i need to Upgrade. This video very good and informative.

[@D3Sshooter]

Glad it was helpful!

Check the rear subframe and it's mounting points as they are prone to really bad corrosion. They have a different one than the Elise and for some reason Vauxhall didn't have it galvanised. It's a good idea to strip it down and have it treated properly.

Inspired by your video I have ordered a toe link kit. Unfortunately I have to pay €62 freight to Australia, but I shall look forward to your setup video.

This is a great video, really good camerawork to show in detail what you are looking at. Subbed to your channel because I know for certain I will be back to gain more knowledge. Cheers.

[@D3Sshooter]

ImBarryScottCSS thanks Barry. I do this for all the lotus fans as they were family

Very helpful videos. Would be great if someone did a video of getting an Elise up on 4 axle stands like in this video. So many conflicting opinions online alongside some confusing descriptions and no videos.

[@dixiechick70]

You're channel is awesome! :)

[@matteomagnani6696]

thanks a lot for your amazing videos. may you please explain a bit more what to check when inspecting the toe links to make sure they are still good to go? thanks!

You could try finding a company that does crack testing on metal parts,just a thought.

[@otsegobob]

Actually the old toe links is upgraded not oem. But i believe the crack and bend form from the accident so replacing it is very crucial!

[@D3Sshooter]

Wilson Lim Ineed lim its not oem the upgrade. Its the motorsport version

[@simonart4978]

Do you have a link to the kit you purchased please?

[@D3Sshooter]

TXS for the comments yes Elise shop in the nederlands

[@bieberizgay1]

I think you will find that this kit is a copy of the Spitfire Engineering kit?

[@D3Sshooter]

TXS for the comments, really I was not aware of that

[@mgwaite10]

There are a few options out there. That’s a good road setup, spitfire is track grade I would say.

[@cipim3]

Clasic WD 40 is derived from oil, dont't use it on rubber parts, use silicone, glycol, rubber dressing, soap, etc.
