Journeyman cert 只是基本auto repair & maintenance 的 training, 你真的有经验下performance parts 吗 ...
After I bought it pretty much pull it apart and rebuild the whole engine. Because I thought might as well save the trouble and do it all at once. It's bored to 5.4 from the stock 5. And I am running light weight crank and forge pistons. At the same time also running higher cam, new ecu for the 928 that they use for racing. On the outside we went with light weight fly wheel. Stock transmission and diff so far seems to be holding up pretty well, brakes that I have the 6 pots front and 4 pots rear is holding up quite well too, as for suspension I'm using the adjustable now. Other than that threw in a racing fuel pump and had the oil pump from the GTS. So it took around 4 weeks to get everything done that time. Throttle body and all I just left stock with new cables and had a front sway bar from the GTS, so the engine should be good for another 150k km at least that's what I wanted is to have less trouble down the road. For the evora I plan and doing it because like you said, what other best way than learning other than doing it yourself ? Definitely use a lot of reference from the other lotus guys that races because a lot of stuff are tried before so it's faster to just do it the way that's proven. The good thing is that for the evora I don't really need to get anymore special tools because it requires mostly common tools
