Ha, that will open a different discussion. I had the same question: why did Lotus not just open the VC fully. What’s the point of progressive opening of the stock VC? One answer is compliance with noise regulations. The other I heard was that a bit of back pressure is actually good, and...

Here is a great summary of the exhaust experiences.

I’ve replaced the exhaust and without the valve controller there was not much difference. With the valve controller wide open, huge difference. The stock controller never keeps the valves full open all the time. A lot of people at talking about the cat delete and that does seem like the safest...

Not quite. Any time you disconnect the stock valve controller you will likely end up with limp mode. Unless, you connected in the exact position where you disconnected it from. If you miss that by even a little bit, when the controller gets instruction to fully open or fully close, it will...

Happens when you get in and out of the car. You rotate your legs out and put weight on the plastic causing the holding pins to crack. Poor design. 30$ replacement. Not a major thing.

... and it looks MUCH better than on pictures. It is an absolute jaw dropper when you see it. If you are in London, stop by Lotus and check it out.

Instead of investing into visionary vehicles, Lotus would be better off in investing into optimising their supply chain so that the customers are served in time. But looks cool, like the idea.

I don't think the modes you describe are right: Mode 1 - is fully open, no stock modes are full open, they all progressively open up as you increase throttle Mode 2 - fully closed, not stock mode is fully closed. This is the one that should never be there. It is not Sport mode. And, Sport mode...

This is where you may get the limp mode problem even with the stock controller. (That is where my problems started). I.e. Even if you keep the stock controller, you need to disconnect it from the exhaust to connect the new Ti exhaust. When you do that, if you don't connect it back in the same...

What impact does cat delete have on emissions tests in EU?

This is not to be taken too seriously, eh? Just some fun banter. So, yeah, I also *COMPLETELY* agree there should be a special douche category for Macans.

Not even

Nobody in a 911 gets a thumbs up from anyone. It gets worse from there (Panamera, Tacan). Unless it's a GT3/4RS.

Pedals are definitely an event at lower speeds. The break pedal is bite-y, in particular. However, I find the pedals perfectly tuned for harder driving. At higher speeds, at hard breaking, as your toe is on the break, you have to press it harder and it goes further in. And as you flatten your...
