    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...

    Gold & Silver Emira ULTRAdiscs from Girodisc Have Arrived!

    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.

    Interesting! Cool car.. but imagine paying $400k for the same powertrain Lotus uses. o_O

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

    The Verde Ithaca paint on my Evora GT was an $8100 option! It's excellent quality though. 3 stage paint job and they actually used Lambo paint. I am curious to see if the Emira paint has gotten any better. Many detailers reported it being extra soft and I'm hoping it was due to them rushing to...

    Burning Smell From Engine While Reversing on Ramp

    No problem. Those ramps are sketchy, especially when working 3 pedals! Also, the front jack points can be hard to reach with most floor jacks. If you have 2 jacks you can jack up the rear just a little and then have more clearance up front to slide in your second jack to the front point.

    Burning Smell From Engine While Reversing on Ramp

    Pro tip: Jack up the rear of the car and just slide the ramps under the wheels one at a time. It's much easier and safer. I have the Rhino ramps and they'd slide all over the place after I had my floor done. I ended up cutting up an old yoga mat to keep them in place. After a few close calls, I...

    Hawk Pads are Best Upgrade Ever

    Nice! Another Hawk pad option I recommend trying is the HPS 5.0. They aren't as low dust as these ceramic pads, but they are MUCH less dusty than the stock AP (or Ferodo DS2500) and will brake better and resist fade more than the ceramics. Can't really go wrong with either.. Just depends on your...
