Here's a beautifully done video of a tribute to Jim Clark, the mechanics who worked at Lotus, and his championship winning F1 Lotus 25.

Good job! How long did it take you?

If you haven't done it already, going with distilled water and Redline Water Wetter in the cooling system should help. They claim 20° cooler, but from what I've seen it's generally about 15° cooler, but that's at least something. If you don't have winter freezing issues, you won't need...

There's also the concern (which is the primary purpose of the filter) at how good it is at filtering. K&N's aren't as good at that which is why they allow more air through. Unfortunately, they allow more particulate through as well. If you search on YouTube, there are many tests showing what...

That's kind of a mixed bag. Some believe if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it (which has some merit), others believe it's best to have the latest updates which in addition to fixing known issues (even if you haven't experienced them), also can add or improve features that have been requested...

Not trying to be rude, but are you new to modding? More power means more heat, no matter how you increase it. It means more strain on components, and requires more diligence to maintenance (oil/filter changes, etc.). It's not unusual to have to improve the cooling in some way. There are some...

Absolutely no chance that's going to happen. Even if CARB is no longer valid, EPA regulations are still active. The cost of recertification, and possible violation issues would not be worth it.

Gotcha. Okay, what about something like this? Looks kind of Lotusy. Again, the tops of the graphics are gloss black.

I think as long as you log your car's performance with it, and send the logs to them so they can see how everything looks, you should be good (that's what I'm going to do). I'm going to run the first 100 miles using only Map1 (not Map0 or anything else), and then take it to the dyno shop to get...

Have you tried getting licensing?

Here's my suggestion for the graphics. Gloss black on the tops of the graphics. If you decide to use it, my fee is a complimentary supercharger cover. :D

How does it look for filling back orders? I'm now at 15 days and waiting.

Since JB is working on an OBD connection in the engine bay, I'm planning on just temporarily running the cable through the interior alongside the seat instead of under the carpet and all that. This will be fine until they come up with the setup for the engine bay, then I'll switch over to that.

Car sounds great. Best I've heard yet! So did you choose the sports cat as the only cat, eliminating the one cat on the header?

I have one on order, and yes I will re-dyno at the same place so the previous dyno graphs will be on the chart for comparison.

Improving airflow in and reducing exhaust back pressure to allow better exhaust airflow out. It makes a difference. The factory intake and exhaust system is fairly restrictive, as factory systems typically are.

The JB4 test car wasn't factory stock, so the baseline run was for that car not a factory stock car. I had mine dynoed stone stock on a hub dyno, and it showed 369.6 hp to the rear wheels. That translates to a drivetrain loss of 7.6%, assuming the engine hp is actually 400. This is a V6 with...

Try putting the line as an extension of the light, including trimming it to the angle of the lens as though it's an extension of it (only without the red top lol).

Have as many conditions as you can to help troubleshoot (are you only connected wireless or do you have the OBDII cable connected, what octane fuel are you using, V6 manual or auto, etc.) and contact Burger: Payam@burgertuning.com

What width stripe did you use on the mirrors? I've struggled with wanting to do something, but not coming up with anything I really liked, especially for the back of the car. Looks like you got a pretty good match to the Lotus logo yellow. I'd like to do something with the mirrors, but I...

Well crud. When I was there for the grand opening, they didn't mention that. I didn't think to ask either, just assumed it would be. If they're going to sell Lotus there though, I think they have to have a service department as part of the requirement for authorization. I'll ask my sales guy...

If you have an ACE Hardware store nearby, take that to them. They can at least tell you what the specs and thread pitch are. They may even have something like that. Another place to check would be a body repair shop. They probably have a source where they can get items of that type...

Sound dampening the doors made the most difference? Did you post pics of it?

I found out something interesting the other day. I'd gone through a drive-thru to get a breakfast burrito, and they wanted me to pull around to the front and wait because it was going to take longer than normal I guess, so I did. While I'm sitting there waiting with the engine off, I turn on...

I'm not sure which bolt you're referring to. Can you take a picture of where it's supposed to be? I'll look on my car and see if I can identify it. Part of the problem with finding anything in the service manual, is knowing exactly what it's called. The description/term has to be exact.

His first and last name and address were fully visible in the first version of the picture he posted. Randomly looking up a name and address in a phone book, is not the same as seeing a full name and address being posted where you know for sure there's at least one expensive sports car there.

I highly recommend you block out your name and address! The world isn't a benevolent place nowadays. Looking forward to your install and impressions.

After looking at that picture KJD posted (who apparently has me on ignore, which is fine), it doesn't look like there's an adjustment if the fender merely slides into tabs on the upper fender. I am able to push in the lower corner on mine, and it goes in flush with the upper for a few seconds...

It can look good in some instances, if it's the good looking stuff. I don't like the particle board look. The real benefit is its strength and weight for those applications where it's appropriate. It's just expensive, but if you have the budget...

Woah. You must have had a really bad experience!

Bummer. That has to be a warranty item though, the dealer should be taking care of this.

So the spring itself doesn't look like a serviceable part, you have to replace the whole assembly. Is yours broken?

Putting "door release outer cable" in the search for the manual brings up pages 48 and 144. This is page 48, Is that the part you're looking for?

Do you have any mods on your car, like intake and/or exhaust? The AFR is running on the rich side, which I was wondering if that's by design, or just that your ECU hasn't adjusted to it yet.

The V6 FE has a curb weight of approximately 3,267 lbs as per @Dragoon who weighed his stock on a race scale. The Eventuri is 1/2 lb lighter, and if you got the Aerie titanium exhaust, that's 18.25 lbs lighter than stock. So figure your car is roughly 19 lbs lighter, so a curb weight of 3,248...

"whining"? Where did you get that? It was just a comment.
