PPF, paint correction, graphics, tint, and ceramic coating on top.

All cosmetic and protection work complete. Now pics! Hope to see you guys at the next outing!

As @Kaz suggested, I poked around in the electronics sub-forum and found the interior disassembly PDFs that someone else posted. I hope they don't mind me posting here for everyone's easy ref. Thanks again to all of you for "cracking the code" on this one. This is what car forums are about...

I won't be at this one guys. I was referring to @Kaz pre-dawn outing suggestion. With that said, I may join for the next one even if not the pre-dawn drone outing. I just got the car back today from PPF and graphics and it's going in for tint tomorrow. I'll post pics here this weekend in...

Yes, I like to row my own gears, and yes I loved my Evora (with the same drivetrain), but the second I hot lapped a Porsche with PDK at Buttonwillow, I knew I would never be faster than any dual clutch transmission. A 4c and 991.2 Carrera T later, I too waited for the I4 Emira. Let's just say...

Thank you, this is great news. I know you had a couple of other threads on the sound deadening, etc., but the pics there didn't make it obvious. At your leisure, can you post a pic that shows the general location of the amp and this harness (if you even have one handy)? Trying to figure out...

The second article is old news and was explained as needed to reset some parts of the manufacturing workflow.

Agree, would have been cool if they did a paint to sample, custom interiors, etc.

I like that you guys do it right. Early AM before the looneys get out for their drive. In los angeles, we're fortunate to have several really cool mountain roads a stones throw away. Show up at 8AM, you get chaos. Show up at 6AM, it's like your private mountain resort. As you're leaving...

Definitely, been a minute. Yet another reason to do it soon.

I'm in. I get the car back from PPF and graphics on Friday. Keep us posted.

Can't answer the first, but I can tell you supplies are absolutely not moving fast. How do I know? I just purchased mine about a week ago and called all 35+ dealers in the US and continue to track out of curiosity. Even with the 3.99% interest rate promo, cars still are not moving. I think a...

@MikeR Much appreciated!

He said 89, I was thinking that's not fast, that's so cal traffic actually moving! In all seriousness, he really was cool about it and for anyone interested, I was exceptionally polite and apologetic. I have to believe that came into play when he decided on warning vs. actual ticket. I...

It'll seem tedious, but if you are doing a manual bleed with just pressure (which it sounds like you did), just check the level and add after each wheel. Or, if you are using a pressure bleeder with new fluid in there and not just the air pressure, then you don't have to worry about this other...

Same here, blinker/turn signal topic happened at least twice. It does appear to go away once you tap either side again. I just grabbed the car on Friday from Los Gatos and drove it back home (LA area). So, I'm about 600 miles into the break-in. Otherwise, enjoying it, but annoyed I can't...

For everyone it's important to understand why this does matter. Conceptually, what you are trying to do is "clean the longest path" to ensure any closer (to the master cylinder) diversions (each wheel, etc.) are only getting new, clean fluid when bled. So, the way you should think of it, pick...

Yes, thank you and keep us posted. if you can post links to other ways to follow (news media, youtube channels, etc.), it would be appreciated. We had a few teams running Evoras in race series about a decade ago in the states and really enjoyed them. So far, haven't seen anyone pick-up the...

Someone with manufacturing ties should get the drawings and run a small batch (50-100). I bet you would have zero trouble moving them frankly at any reasonable price. Certainly build in a margin that makes it worth your while for the trouble of taking the project on.

Any time you change weight distribution, and suspension geometry, you are going to feel it. Like you, I've driven both back to back in the same environment and they had different driving characteristics and feel. To me, the I4 was absolutely more nimble, felt lighter on its feet, and overall...

I believe this might be more than just spring rates. As a reminder, the weight split and detailed placement of weight, not to mention the overall reduction of weight, in the I4 vs. v6 is likely what is being felt. I can tell you unequivocally, the two cars, even though they are spec'd with the...

@Lotus F1 Given "invoice" pricing (i.e., cost of car the dealer pays to manufacturer) isn't published (can be roughly estimated at best), can you restate your price paid in the form of discount to MSRP which is readily available.

Same here, great car and technology for the price. I don't think we'll ever see another CF tub car for under a 100K like we did with the 4C. Oh, and that pedal box!

...but at least it keeps it outside of the cool car stuff we all mostly come here for. Admins, this is not a good look if you don't enforce your own rules. Please move it or close it.

I second that!

BTW, if you actually do all the grind work I did above, it isn't a fast process. My whole sales life cycle from the start of research to the first ping to final deal agreement took about 60+ days. So yeah, you have to be patient and stick to your goal regardless of the "noise" you hear from...

I just bought mine, some are, some aren't. I'm also a dealer's worst case sales scenario. I live in Ca, but essentially pinged all 35+ dealers in the country looking for specs that checked all my boxes. I then started to prioritize by geography on where I was willing to fly in and drive home...

There's a defined service interval for this. However, dealers have been known to skip the clutch slave bleed given it's buried and hard to get to. Instead, they'll only bleed the 4 calipers. How can this happen? Remember, the hydraulic fluid for both the brakes and clutch come from one...

It should be highlighted with every new car purchase anywhere in CA. So, if you aren't getting the details at delivery, feel free to ping myself or Khamai.

I'm not suggesting anything, simply stating what I did after understanding the operating environment of the slave cylinder and my specific use case. I'm one of the weirdos that actually drives his car, like a lot (12-15k miles a year).

It's identical to the first gen Evora from 15 years ago. One reservoir for both the clutch and brakes. Also, what makes this critical to be done at least once a year (I did it every 6 months), is the slave cylinder's proximity to the exhaust manifold. The operating environment couldn't get...

Got it, so what you are really saying is it fits perfectly. However, if you are a person who likes to "tinker" and needs to disable electronics, you need to unbolt the battery retainer plate and slide it out to undo the neg. terminal. Whereas, if you get a shorter battery, you can just squeeze...
