Thanks. As long as these are brand new (i.e., not stripped out of old cars), and plug and play, I'm in.

A link to a pic or an actual pic would help, but yeah interested as well.

Please consider the source. This is coming from a dealer (albeit a very reputable one amongst the US Lotus community). I'm old enough, and have purchased enough cars in my life to surmise this is more about moving current inventory cars, than what will actually happen in the future...

They are lighter, that's for sure. I was surprised how heavy the factory wheel options are.

Well that blows...

Well the radio is usually off on the track, but this sucks for the 98%of the time that I'm not on a track.

I feel like you are doing all of the R&D for the rest of us and we don't mind!

What @Orchardbike said. The reality is China is a manufacturing power house for a reason. They have tons of fabs cranking anything and everything out in small batches and at constantly competing prices. What does that mean? It means that if you ask 5 factories to build something to your...

Just remember, you get what you pay for. I've run the AntiGravity products in a few cars, because the "way cheaper" Chinese stuff cr@pped out fast (broken posts, loose cells, etc.).

Looking good, keep us posted on the other mods.

That does look like more than enough thread. Intuitively, you would expect longer bolts, but in this case the spacer is so minimal it doesn't appear to be needed per the pic.

Seems odd. In most cases, the mounting threads go all the way or further deep than what's needed when fully torqued down.

Sounds like the refinement is already happening. Great to hear.

Thanks for clarifying that. I thought I read they provided new bolts after the fact, but were still the OE length which I believe are a bad idea from a safety perspective. If they are longer, that addresses my largest concern. I still think they should "refine" this kit a bit to ensure the...

I wasn't familiar with this company, but this upgrade looks very appealing (if further refined). With that said, they need to further develop this if they are expecting to sell more at $12k a set. First thing is they need to either use an emira specific hat or enlarge the set screw whole...

I like it, a specific dealer ensuring they get the word out. Usually credit unions lead in this space, but none of them are even close. So, at 3.99% for the hi FICO tier, this is a really good deal. Thanks again.

@Blue Dude Where did you find this? I couldn't find it on the official Lotus Cars USA website. Or is this for non-US markets?

This is coming up soon for anyone interested: https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/buttonwillow-circuit-track-new-cw-5-25-raceway-golden-gate-lotus-club-616461

Leave it to Lotus to get creative here. I would have expected it to be simple electric/voltage change signal as well. @GRP Good luck! You definitely have several of us rooting for you on this one.

@GRP I'm assuming you are looking for the weight sensor in the passenger seat? My Porsche has a flat panel in its carbon fiber bucket and I'm guessing this "part" can likely be had from a few places in a generic form. Happy to help research if that is the part you are trying to source.

These seats are a must have for anyone who tracks or does canyon driving. @GRP Would you happen to have an update on the status of airbag light workaround for the passenger seat? I believe you have a workaround for the driver's seat already, but waiting on the passenger solution. Thanks!

LCOSC posts pretty much everywhere. Check most Lotus specific Facebook groups, Instagram, LotusTalk and they even do email blasts on a regular basis to all registered members.

I'll add that LCOSC is famous for their 15 car run group cap, and running only 3 groups (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). That's right only 15 cars max at any time on the track and only 3 groups. The preceding essentially means an "all you can eat" track time day. Most other groups, run...

I love that they even left the blue tape track day numbers on it. Clearly, this person was very "fast".

Speaking to the US market specifically, this was completely to be expected. It's literally happened for every one of their new product roll-outs (Elise, Exige, Evora, etc.). The few "I have to have it now..." pay a premium over MSRP (and in the Emira's case also waited 2+ years), only to have...
