Manufacturer as in Aisin? I thought Lotus rebuilds the transmission to their own specs?

Nice McLaren! You have great taste in cars.

Man, that's a long time to wait, but I'm glad you finally have your car. Congrats!

We require videos. It's curious that the performance display changed. You didn't have to retune anything, right?

I just noticed that the US I4 cars don't have the little black plastic pod in the front for the radar sensor. So Lotus decided to not install these driver assistance features for the US I4 cars, I guess.

It's best if you clarify that this is for the I4. None of these features were promised/expected in the V6 cars.

The entire exhaust system is stainless, no?

We can't push our cars hard on the road in most places. You'd have to go somewhere rural or be in an area where the police are not enforcing laws to see cars pushed on public roads. A car like the C8, and the Emira to a similar extent, makes going out for a drive a special event even if you are...

Yea, as far as I know, the US cars arriving are still customer ordered cars - though many have been orphaned due to the long wait. There are many well spec'd cars available all over the country if you call and ask.

Geez, that sucks. Good luck to you! There's some speculation that those were the rejected cars that Lotus fixed and decided to get rid of? I hope either way, you get a satisfactory resolution. At least it sounds to me like the UK consumer protection laws are much stronger than the US.

??? You asked me a question and I responded. If you are not interested in what I have to say, just move on.

Those are cast wheels, though. That process is how cheap wheels are made. Here is a video on how good quality forged wheels are made.

You can try setting the bass output down by 1 to 2 notches. Typically this helps clearing up the clarity in the mid range. Most sound quality issues are related to tonal balance. It's very rare for there to be actual significant non-linear distortion. The KEF system doesn't seem to be an...

That's not how sound stage height works. When it comes to sound, trust your ears, not your eyes. Sit in the car and play your favorite music. Close your eyes and see if you can determine where the sound is coming from. Are they coming from in front of you or from your knees? Don't fix...

No, the center channel is another Uni-Q driver, which consists of a midrange and a tweeter. There is no crossover so you will need two amplifier channels. I guess you could build an analog crossover to reduce the amplifier channel requirement down to 1, but that takes additional...

And.... here are the Canadian cars that landed 12/19/2024. Again a big shipment...

Yea, really odd. Not sure what that's about. Maybe it's a limitation on the model of Audisson processor/amp they chose. I'm not familiar with Audisson equipment but that's what I'd guess. The wires are there and it would have been relatively "simple" to just hook the stock drivers back up if the...

I wouldn't recommend adding tweeters into the A-pillar area if you are keeping the stock KEF drivers. The KEF drivers are time-aligned and the overall system is integrated through DSP processing. Any speakers you add to the A-pillar will not be time aligned and integrated unless you completely...

A yumongus shipment of cars has arrived on 12/19. So far only the US cars have shown up on my search. I will check tomorrow to see if the Canadian cars are there also. But click on the image below to see US VINs in this 298-car shipment:

Moar US and Canada cars showed up on 12/15/2024. A HUGE shipment, one of the biggest yet. VINs in the link for the image:

Waiting for @Emmy to come give us an update.

You are asking for trouble. The stud that the GRP eyelet mounts to is fixed in place by the same nut that holds down the eyelet. So if you remove the eyelet, that stud may fall out? It's easy enough to kind of put the short shift adapter in place without installing the cotter pin, and take it...

It's not just the length of the eyelet, right? It's also how far the cable threads in.

Looks like quite a few AMG 2.0 cars. Anyone know the relative sales numbers? If these are "problem" cars, I wonder why the AMG 2.0 cars seem to be over representing if we assume that sales have been less than the V6 due to less time on market.

Ideally, you want the neutral stalk position so that the shifter cable is at perfect right angle with it. This way, when you shift down or up, the cable ends up being slightly non-right angle in either direction. If the neutral position is already at some non-90 angle, say the shifter stalk is...

I don't see how it matters any what gear you are in or what position the shifter stalk is when you attach the short shift adapter to the bell crank. What affects the position of the shifter stalk is the combination of: Distance between end of shifter cable housing to the shifter stalk...

Congrats, all. I updated the tracking sheet with the VINs.

The first batch of customer I4 cars arrived in the US, a pretty big shipment of 156 cars. Click on the image to see the VINs.

Odor detector. It rolls the windows down when the interior air quality reaches biohazard levels.

So what you are saying is that you took initial steps to upgrade to a Noco charger. Nice!

Congrats on the guys that have their cars in the dealerships already. The import record websites are just not updating so I can't find a full VIN list. I'll update my sheet when it becomes available.
