Took her on a road trip to the Tail of The Dragon. Handled those curves so well. Unfortunately I'm depressed about my boring Florida roads now.

Highest mileage Emira’s?

just hit 30,000 miles! I have zero commute, work from home. It's just all pleasure drives! I bought it 10 months ago with only 700 miles on it. so 29,300 of those are all mine and done in 10 months!

This is not the car I ordered!

Painted my Supercharger Cover. I used Dupli-Color with Ceramic hi temperature enamel, three coated, then block sanded the

Lotus letters.

only the rear letters on mine and replaced with ACBC Lotus logo (annoying dirt in crevices around the letters) - oh and changed front yellow badge to black

That looks very nice.... it gives me an idea, could I possibly get away with this...

Been toying with the idea, will play around with it this fall/winter.

Before you ask:
- Yes the reverse lockout would need to be removed to make the shaft thinner, an entirely new shaft may actually be needed.
- Unsure how if I can come up with a mechanism to keep the lockout in place or not.
- Yes this would have some side to side adjustability.
- Unsure about spacing from gate to gate or throw length -- will be experimenting with that.
- Would probably get the base made in 6061 gloss black anodizing and the top in 6061 brushed aluminum to attempt to match the existing surrounds.

I was torn between Tour and Sport suspension, and in the end I ordered Tour.
I've been very happy with my suspension, and happy that I made the correct decision. (10K miles down..)

Then I came across a post that says you can identify the suspension from what is printed on the springs, so out of curiosity I went to have a look.

I found this... WTAF?!
I double checked my order paperwork and indeed it says Tour. If I had found this one week after buying the car I would have been pissed. But two years later I really like how it drives and I'm not worried.

Others may want to check their cars..
