Not to mention. Toyota had a big issue with Engine Sludge for the v6 Models that share this engine. Toyota never really owned fault and wanted to push that it was a negligence and abuse issue, yet also allowed a mechanism for claims and fixes/pay outs. So, publicly never declared a fault but...

Personally, if I was going to do this, I'd probably look into running the alcantara in a strip covering the sticker but have the edges folded over and stitched to look more intentional Looking more like a "stripe" down the center of the visor, not a flap that perhaps has a mirror hidden behind it.

Post race weekend in F1 China? Where Lotus....crashed a car, and also had the medical car as the Emeya? That's my guess anyway. Also just Lotus kinda referring to getting back into racing.

I thought your car still broken? Did the Axle already get replaced?

I think it is pumping through the speakers even if you have the radio off. I could be wrong, but my understanding is, you don't have to be bopping to a song or listening to an audiobook for these engine noises to be piped in through the speakers.

I wonder who they used to develop that. The guys who produce Planted are a tuning company here in WA near me, last season technically i was one of their sponsored drivers

Honestly I think its just her being like "yep.. screw this guy, I don't care I'll put my shoe on his car. You think I care?"

It's a pretty common brembo method, exactly the same as on my Evo9 same for Subaru STi Brembos and likely most of the other factory calipers out there. Not saying there aren't better options, but it's far from a lotus unique issue/design

I think he knows that the sound is being generated, he is literally trying to upgrade his audio system and amplifying the stock signals and getting all this extra noise and sound floor. I don't think he's arguing whether or not it is happening, I think he's asking for help how to cut it out of...

Bambu X1 was honestly just a huge step forward. They are INCREDIBLY fast, though i guess technically i've seen faster from something like a Delta 3D printer, but you are much more limited in printing volume with those. If it wasn't for things like, locked down firmware, RFID/NFC chipped...

Bambu has recently had a bit of a misstep and souring the community because of a firmware update that forced a lot of unpopular things. I have a Qidi 3d printer which uses "Core XY" which is the sort of language around the sort of "Fast printing" like Bambu. It's not a perfect parity match, but...

Interesting, I know I haven't had any issues with the signs in my area, but it could be they are using a different radar band.

Elegoo has a reputation of being very cheap but not very beginner friendly as it typically requires a lot of tinkering. It's entirely possible they are trying to change course, as much of the industry is, to chase Bambu. Which is to say, stop looking at 3D printing as a hobbyists pursuit where...

That could just be a "height" thing though. Regardless. Guy from Chevy claiming the car (which Corvette exactly? Almost all of them are fibeglass composite with a tilted radiator which isn't visible from the front. Soo...we are saying all the way back to the C3? C4? Just the most recent angular...

I'm not sure that it's an intentional choice that it doesn't reflect Radar, so much as a side effect. Regardless, I'm pretty sure the windshield is large and flat enough. You can test this pretty easily. Have any of those school zone speed limit signs near you, where the sign tells you your...

Do you have any idea how Draggy is calculating a 1ft roll out? This is normally done via the distance required to cross and leave a drag race "line" via an optical sensor. Draggy is what...just doing some math with an accelerometer to get an approximation?

Yes. Sorry if English isn't your first language. Faux , from French used for "fake or imitation" like "faux fur" or "faux leather". Pronounced the same as "foe". So instead of "Ferrari" "Fo-rrari" (effectively only changing one vowel sound though spelled quite different), but arriving at the...

A Fauxrarri you mean?

Yeah but if the stock price for Lotus Technology is in the crapper and they don't have the capital and funds to purchase Lotus Cars Ltd, then its sort of a moot point. (though these things are always tricky and they could claim to put the existing inventory and facilities up as collateral...

They are selling so poorly that they are dropping that much below MSRP to sell? wow.

How many flowers are there with E names? (quick google comes back with 7 ish valid ones. Echinacea [easier to say than spell], Echinops, Echium, Erica, Emilia, Ensete, Echeveria) I guess that assumes that the Chinese name equivalent cars use "E" phonemes in mandarin for names.

Can't tell 100% but I don't think it sounds any different from mine.

The difference between a diverter valve and a blow off valve. Blow off valve vents the extra pressure back to atmosphere. Diverter Valve plumbs the vented air to the air intake before the turbocharger. This is essential for cars using specific types of metering/air measurement. Otherwise the...

Liability. If it's a multi tenant garage, even if you have assigned parking you are facing far too many challenges of who has access to touch parts of the lift, where is it going to get power from. Ultimately though. What happens when there's some kind of accident that damages someone else's...

They definitely won't.

Isn't the hat aluminum?

On the right side? I don't think it's induction noise, but there is an engine fan in there which blows across the exhaust against the firewall

That's pretty debatable. Granted there are people already pointing out that a McLaren 570s for around the same as New Emira money. I think most people probably weighed in the options and wanted a more reliable motor (which, granted once you start modifying you might throw away), a generally...

This seems very silly marketing. Cars that are dyno'd on by a direct hub bolt on don't make more power because they aren't spinning a wheel and tire. These dynos work by applying specific brake force to the rollers. Which isn't the same as the traction with the road. Lightening wheels...

Worth noting. Manufacturers will give themselves the most generous interpretation of the measurement. Unless they state otherwise I assume Lotus is including a 1ft rollout. For those who care what the real world implication is.

Regardless of other considerations folks offer. Which is closer to you geographically to do rebuilds? Nitron just moved to SoCal. Ohlins I believe is in NC?

I just don't think the rotational mass myth is true. For one thing, across the internet its never consistent. Sometimes its 4x, other times 5x or more. Second, rotational mass would affect how quickly the revs can climb in a car, making the engine feel more responsive, but the engine won't...

I get that. But honestly, what's the point in butting heads with people who aren't interested in their Lotus for only that reason? If people start pursuing radical engine changes and big HP numbers, does this ruin their car in your mind? It's no longer the same experience? What about people who...

Yeah but... Do you know any lotus owners or dealers willing to part with the set?? 👀

Feel like this brings in some MP4-12c vibes.

I genuinely had no idea what you meant until I went to the eBay listing. I had no idea that was a thing!

It's not nearly as dark as verdant. Out of direct sun you still get some blue. Verdant still looks black when it's cloudy.

Self alignment is possible, but generally speaking a pain. You can't lift the car and adjust the settings. You have to have measuring tools. For home and track plates with matching tape measures typically and an angle finder to do camber. Plus something to put under the wheels to allow free...

You can theoretically 4 wheel slide anything in the right conditions, its really just down to how much of a knifes edge are you dancing on. F1 Cars which are like 40/60 when loaded with fuel. In qual trim they are mandated as minimum targets 45% Front and 55% rear. (333k min measured front axle...
