Supply chain woes have plagued most of us. Getting all of our key parts gathered up for this build was our next step to see if our goal of finishing this car in time for the
West Coast Lotus Meet was possible. We went through items that are not in stock and considered their due dates and I'm confident we can have this car ready for the show and most importantly, the
Palomar Hillclimb event!
We have a full set of
refreshed uprights and
wishbones that we had previously stripped, sandblasted and plated. This items are generally in bad cosmetic condition on cars with 50K+ miles. Have these ready allows us to minimize down time and build the car quickly. We will be installing
MONOballs along with a full
Suspension Refresh kit. As this car will become a canyon carver that does occasional track days, the MONOballs were chosen.
One especially tasty bit this car will get is a light Gold set of
Monolites. We have never produced this color until our latest batch. This is the only set in this color. This color is really awesome and is sure to become part of our future offerings. Combining Gold with Chrome Orange may sound too blingy but they work beautifully together. Chrome Orange actually has gold flakes in the paint - a more appropriate name might have been 'Gold Orange'!
When coupled with the
ULTRAdisc rotors this car will enjoy a 20lb unsprung weight savings! You can feel this immediately through the steering wheel. We feel this is one of the key reasons why our 111RS cars are such a joy to drive.
