    DIY: V6 Manual Transmission Fluid Change

    I used 75w-90 in my Evora GT too. It's fine in the summer. I found the gearbox likes to be warmed up a bit longer in the winter though otherwise I have some trouble getting into gear while cold. Will switch back to 80 next time to see if it makes a difference.

    US Lotus portal updated with 2026 models, Raceline is now available

    Doesn't surprise me. Lotus is terrible at communications with the North American dealers. Us forum members usually know things before the dealers.

    Grundy Insurance and Modifications

    Yup, exactly this. I also switched to Grundy (from State Farm) because it saved me ~$550/yr, but more importantly, Grundy provided an agreed value for my Evora GT. My premium spec GT with bespoke paint, carbon pack, and 3 pedals would fetch a lot more than your average Evora and State Farm...

    849 Testarossa

    Agreed.. Not loving the new designs at all. And how are they going to make a new Testarossa and leave out the iconic side strakes!?

    What's the worst rental car you've had?

    I had a pretty crappy Nissan Micra in Ireland for a week. It got the job done, but one of the tires had a slow leak and it was annoying to fill up often on our vacation. The other crappy car we had was a poverty spec Elantra last time I went out to Sedona. I booked a small SUV and they gave me...

    Nice! Did you upgrade fluid too? What's the RS on your fender?

    Gold & Silver Emira ULTRAdiscs from Girodisc Have Arrived!

    This weight is for a front rotor? 9.21kg = 20.3lbs, so these Girodiscs save 2 tenths of a pound each (according to the 20.1lb weight shown in the first post)?

    VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

    Actually I take it back. The mockup on the first page looks alright. What's the red one I'm thinking of? I can't keep up 😂

    VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

    This is the way. And use the correct font. From a graphic designer standpoint, the current font used on the red lid looks childish/cheap.
