These are cars in the US? Nothing is on the manifest yet.

I still don't see anything yet. Will check tomorrow.

Cool! I was just curious why it wasn't showing up for me after a search. I figured that there will be US buyers who are interested in looking at the listing. Thanks!

I just don't think something like the Evija can be adapted to a hybrid drive train. I also think all hybrid drivetrains are going to be somewhat of a compromise in terms of performance, even more so for highly integrated ones that use a mixed input planetart transmission setup with two...

I think Geely has their own hybrid system with a fairly advanced design geared towards performance. The built-in motor is about 250KW, which is about twice as powerful as the most powerful Toyota hybrid design currently in production. For hybrid cars, the electric motor is the primary power...

Looks like it was abused, to be honest. The previous owner doesn't take care of his things.

Oh gawd that looks rough. Why didn't they at least clean and wash the car before taking photos? Looks like brake pads are also missing chunks from the pattern on the rotors.

Looks great! Instructions? Links? Tips and Tricks?

The eBay link shows a 404 from NGINX gateway and I can't find the listing on a search... did you block shipping to the US or something?

I usually keep a small microfiber cloth in my car that I drape over the fender edge when getting gas. This flappy flap @Go Kart linked to is perfect! Bought! Thanks!!!

You can sell the other 10/12mm combo to someone else who want the same look. Haha.

Sorry, I would never accept a car with that many miles on it as "new", especially if you had to wait 8 months for it as an ordered vehicle. Really sad to hear of this. Hope it gets straightened out with a replacement vehicle. This is just unacceptable.

10/12mm was recommended by @GRP. This is the way.

Thanks for summing it up.

Okay I did it! Thanks to @kitkat for the shroud and thanks to @Porter for holding it for me. It took me several hours to do this mod because I am a slow worker. The results are definite well worth it. What follows below are some of the things I'd like to share from experience. Removing the...

Nothing yet, guys. I will check every day or so.

Unlikely. It's not the number of miles. Based on pictures I've seen, the stock gasket is like a mesh/mastic material that is designed to squish on install but fall apart on disassembly. The metal one sold by GRP is like a crush washer that can maybe be re-used.

Yea, @GRP is the best source for the OEM units.

The TPMS is made by Schrader, part number 8893103964. It's also used by BMW, which explains why it's in the Supra. https://catalogue.schradertpms.com/en-US/ProductDetails/8893103964.html Just to add, this part number is custom for Lotus - so there is no guarantee that other similar looking...

Most dealers will be "take it or leave it" at MSRP, although I would *NOT* pay anything over MSRP. If you can get a discount on one, jump on it - typically it will be an "odd" specification, such as unpopular color combinations. I believe brand new orders are getting quoted delivery in late...

I have not been to an automatic car wash in at least 10 years. The Lotus, any Lotus, is definite not dishwasher safe.

Yea, not sure what ever happened to Larini, I don't even see the exhaust listed on their website for the Emira. I think it got drowned out by all of the other exhausts that has come on the market. My first recommendation would be the third cat delete and Milltek valve controller. Even according...

With the way most cars sound these days, they may have a valid claim on infringement.

Gang gang!

I feel like the ESC Service Required error is something different. I had it happen to me once about 300 miles ago. Like others, it went away after a restart.

No, not lowered. The car has touring suspension. I think the slight additional offset that is more flush reduces the amount of visible fender gap, so it looks better.

Will do! When the weather gets nicer I want to get some photos under bright sun. This overcast day is more accurate in terms of color but the wheels really pop in direct sun light.

Only getting a short shift kit. It will have to hold me over for a little while. Great deals though, good opportunity to load up on solid mods.

I think it's bananas that BMW was granted a Trademark for "I4" for exclusive use in class 12 of goods. Their exclusion/limiting language that it only applies to electric cars and parts is worthless. Case-in-point if they are not allowing other car manufacturers to use the I4 moniker on gasoline...

Key phrase here: we expect the Turbo SE to be priced on par with the equally powerful V6

I updated the post with this info. 👍

Finally have some decent photos to share of these Braid wheels purchased through @GRP. Here are the specs: Braid BPF-04 in Volcanic Bronze Satin Front: 20x8.5 ET47 (10mm further out than stock) Weight: 22 pound measured Rear: 20x10 ET42 (12mm further out than stock) Weight: 24.4 pound measured...

This is making me nervous. The first NA cars are one year old. I guess I should wish my car a happy birthday. Just hoping that it doesn't suffer from raging hormones, develop acne, and start back talking (lights, error messages, etc).
