Battery, Alternator, or something Else?
I was finally able to get the Elise out of the garage two days after a long winter full of installs and issues. The supercharger sounded like it was running very well, felt strong and performed exactly like I had hoped that it would if not better. That is the good news.
The battery has been on a tender the entire time that I have owned the car. When I started the car before my test of the supercharger two days ago she fired right up and ran perfectly. I had it running for a total of about 90 minutes. Warm up and driving included. I went to fill it with gas, turned the engine off and after it fired right back up again. I drove it home and parked it fourth night in the garage hooking up the trickle charger again.
I went to go take it for another spin last night after it has been on the battery tender for the entire night and most of the day and the car would turn over. I heard the fuel pump prime, the dash works with full brightness and it starts out with a strong crank but just won't turn over. I tried multiple times and always the same result. I went so far as to hook the battery up to a charging station that has a car start function and got the same result. I have not tried to jump the car yet. The voltage at the battery when hooked to the charging station, with the car off was 12.6. I am not able to get a reading at idle as the car won't turn over.
Is this a case of a dying battery, alternator, or something else. Like I said, two days ago the car started like it always has and ran flawlessly, no check engine lights. Then yesterday wouldn't turn over. Also the battery light on the dash when trying to start the car begins as a constant light and then after a few seconds starts to flash in time with the engine trying to turn over. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

WTB 2bular Evora Headers/Y-pipe/Sport Cat (N/A preferable)
Hi all,
Pretty much all in the title - I'm looking for a set of 2bular headers/y-pipe/sport cat for my 2011 Evora. I've corresponded briefly with jim regarding a set of new ones, but it doesn't sound like any will be making their way stateside anytime soon. I've missed out on a few opportunities on here already so I figured I'd start a WTB thread. Thanks.

Technical question regarding headlight adjustment
For those in the know, is it necessary to remove the fender and/or hood to adjust a headlight that has come loose?
The reason for the question, I took my Evora in for service two months ago, it needed a new clutch master cylinder. The dealer had to remove the hood and fenders. While apart, for some reason the mechanic ended up loosening my passenger side headlight, I suppose to adjust it, didn't know it needed it?
After reassembling the car and driving a 100 miles home, I found the headlight to be loose on the lower front end of it. Called the dealer and let them know the headlight obviously wasn't tightened properly. Since I had to make another trip yesterday to have new gas shocks installed on my rear hatch lid, they proceeded to fix the loose headlight. The mechanic did not remove the fender or the hood but removed only the passenger inside fender liner and proceeded to try and tighten the headlight through the fender well. He struggled with it for over two hours and said it was fixed. Drove the car home and what do I find? The headlight is still loose but this time on the top end. I am pissed off because I drive 200 miles round trip and still have a loose headlight.
Is the proper procedure to remove the fender or can it be fixed without doing so? Obviously trying to go through the fender well made it extremely hard because for two hours the mechanic struggled to tighten the headlight and it is still loose?
Any advice before I call the dealer and give them hell? :panic:

wastegate actuator rod adjustment --- V8
What's the best way and the spec for adjusting the actuator rod length (spring force) on the V8 turbo wastegate capsule ?
The service notes indicate a procedure with a vacuum pump pulling the diaphragm and measuring a tiny movement (0.015") of the rod end with a dial indicator -- which looks ridiculously tedious and hard to do accurately on the car. I've got a good vacuum pump, but no suitable dial indicator, so I'm looking for a good work around method.
Thanks.

High rpm stutter
My car has a engine stutter at higher rpms and I can't seem to figure it out. It's a 2005 Elise with 23k miles and a REV300 that has been on the car for the last 10k miles. The car had been running great until a few months ago when the problem developed. So far I have replaced the intake cam and rockers (wiped), lift bolts, MAF sensor, cleaned the VVT/VVL solenoids/filters, checked the bypass valve on the SC, replaced spark plugs, and checked all the sensor connections.
Here is a video of the tach in a 2nd and 3rd gear pull. There is a small stumble at 5500rpm and then lots of problems at 7000 till it blows past it at 7500.
Here is another video of the AFR meter on a different run. Only a small stumble in 2nd and it gets really bad in 3rd. I let off before it made it to 8k in 3rd. The led sweeping on the left of the gauge is boost and the bottom gauge is oil pressure.
Any ideas? The AFR's are richer than it used to be so it seems like it's an air flow problem but the fact that it's inconsistent and will blow past the stumble and straighten out has me stumbled. Supposedly the VVT and VVL solenoids are the same, would swapping them show anything? I noticed in the 2nd vid that oil pressure peaked at 60psi, I was thinking I used to get 80.

Sad News
I was just made aware that Geoffrey Griffiths, founder of Treasured Motorcars in Reisterstown, MD, passed away last week from his battle with Alzheimers.
Many vintage collector car folks in the Mid Atlantic area knew Geoffrey and Treasured Motorcars well. I first met him in the early 90's when I owned my Esprit. His shop did all the things I couldn't...and that pretty much funded his son's campaigning a Shelby GT350 in vintage racing.
A Brit, he worked for Lucas and was assigned to work with Carol Shelby on the electrics in the early Cobras.
Visiting his shop was always a treat. Even if I was there to pick up my car, he'd say "Let's see, what have we got in the shop.." And take me on a tour. Maybe there would be a Bandini race car being restored, or a gullwing Mercedes. There were ALWAYS all manner of vintage Lotus, Jaguar, Rover, Aston, AC, you name it.
He owned for some time a Type 14 Elite, and late last year his daughter, who now runs the business, sold his beloved AC Aceca. She told me how they brought him to the shop so he could see it one more time, and how he lit up as it sat in it one last time.
One time I was there with my Esprit, and he asked me if I'd go with him to pick up a customer car. We went to get it in a Ferrari 350 he maintains for a customer. I got to drive it back as Geoffrey drove back the other car.
The mid atlantic collector car community has lost a fine patron.
