spot of copper slip on those new bolts Jack....save a lot of future heartache

nickel based anti-seize tends to less reactive but more pricey, copper slip can fuse on certain metals.

Any bush that is clamped perpendicular to its movement in use needs to be bolted tightly ONLY once the correct ride height is achieved,if you tighten them while the car is supported with the suspension dropped then when you put the wheels back on and lower the car off its jack's or stands and as the suspension travels through its movement as load is taken up the geometry changes and once settled and with ride height achieved the bushes will be preloaded with torsion,this will result in premature failure of those bushes and on a lightly sprung car like the Elise,while still new and offering some torsion could in the right circumstances create unwanted restrictive torsion to that component when rotated in the opposing direction from its initial pre load,basically becoming a small but reasonably powerful torsion spring on the mounting of that component. Always achieve correct suspension placement before tightening of these sort of bushings,if you have no pit or a 4 poster then in some cases to allow access where the bolts can't be reached with the wheels on then you must raise the car by its suspension as near as possible to the wheel centre line leaving the body supported as if it were on its wheels.

@mikecarroll89892 жыл бұрын
Absolutely correct. I get so annoyed with backyard garagistas who give out really bad methodology .Quality workmanship only comes intelligent engineers who fully understand what they are trying to achieve and have thought it through. Shock absorbers have a rating for expansion and compression and this works closely in conjunction with the spring rate..Some upgrade kits are inappropriately matched and are far worse than the original specification, and often of low quality. There is so much to consider - so many variables. The one thing that I know for sure is that you must not trust other people for a true real definitive answer .sadly,it seems that the idiots have the loudest voices!! Buy the very best adjustable shocks and be prepared to buy a few sets of top quality springs. I only use Eibach - any problems and they fix it. It's more expensive this but you achieve the correct end result and learn so much. And coincidentally, you discover a lot of BS\ misinformation. Good luck everyone.

To set ride height on a car with adjustable suspension, come up with a target height front and rear, then cut wooden blocks to the appropriate lengths. Fiddle with the suspension and check height with the blocks, raising or lowering as necessary. Works so much better than faffing with a flexible metal tape measure that is 12 feet long.

These cars are easy to work on, even the delightful K-Series tucked away at the back. Incidentally, those front wheel bearings were ones used on some Vauxhalls so not expensive specialist items. Another bonus. Finally, you mention Motor Cycles. With your Italian roots nothing less than a MV Agusta I should imagine ,,, .😉

before the geometry gets done, you need to take one wheel off at a time, + drop the car onto an axlestand [close to removed wheel] on the sill. slacken the top/bottom shock bolts off a few turns, then carefully [using a small block]jack the suspension up on the bottom balljoint, until the car just starts to lift off the stand. this will be "ride height". now tighten both bolts up, + repeat x 3 first time you have smiled at the end of an episode for a while....

Yes, Ohlins would have been better, but for a linkageless rear shock it was a great value for the money on a road going bike. If I was tracking it, it would be Ohlins all the way. Interestingly, I also ordered Gaz adjustables for my Locost 7 with a Miata IRS and had a tremendous improvement over Biltsteins, but in fairness, the GAZ's were spec'd with consideration of the geometry whereas the Bilsteins were "off the shelf"

Jack, I could be totally out to lunch here, but it looked on your video, that the rear brake pads are not swiping the entire surface of the rotor. I tried to take a look by pausing, and it looks like I can see a portion of the slot and vent holes near the center of the disc, left side of the car, that is not being contacted. Maybe they are supposed to be that way? I'm not an Elise expert. :-P Great content as always and very fun to watch as a fellow non-professional, car enthusiast.

Hi Jack I always look at your vids good stuff, I had some inspiration from your Elise stuff, had a look at a few but they were too expensive. I have now come across a vx220 or actually a opel speedster as they are called over here at a reasonable price. Do you have any advice, is it a good option or should I keep looking for a good early elise

I believe the VX220 is also very good.. great engine too! But I’d suggest you try both before deciding!
