< cue installed upside down joke >

awww... no video to see if you went Full Mustang into a parked car or a tree 👎:)

🙌 aw yiss. the "brick wall" limiter is probably the only thing that truly irks me, so it would be amazing to have an affordable solution to that. really looking forward to hearing what you can cook up!

I'm also fine with either date (would have liked sooner, just so I could say hi to everyone sooner 😂), and not fussed about venue as long as parking isn't a ball-ache.

The dates I can NOT do is currently an empty set. :) Would it make sense to throw up a poll with dates, allow multiple votes, and everyone just pile in on days they can make it? (also blatantly stealing from the how-we-do-it-at-work playbook)

Yikes! Good luck with it... if the first attempt at a meet-up isn't a total disaster, we can try and do it again later in summer 😄

Hey, missed this last week... I'd be up for a bit of a get-together. Pretty flexible on whatever dates over June / July 👍 Do you have a particular venue in mind @Beachbum ?

They are all just stuck on, though the front nose badge has a couple of locator nubs sitting in holes for alignment. Absolutely get your installer to remove them and put them back over the top... the result is way cleaner (both figuratively and literally).

oi!... don't you start with that shit! :)

This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out... is a new window cheaper than a locksmith or a new key? 🤔 Probably only an option if you can garage it of course. :)

Welcome back to the fold! Looking forward to seeing what you've got up your sleeve for this time around :D 500 quid seems a bit stingy for such a mileage discrepancy... hopefully those weren't test drive miles 😑 I don't think I've ever had a car dealer valet that I was impressed with (and...

No disrespect to the vendor (@mr.suntorytime), but I bizarrely feel slightly betrayed that @kitkat switched parts 😂 I'm going to have a crack at spraying my shroud gloss black this weekend, and will post some before and after results. So far, I am just super happy with the exposed look, so my...

So... do we blame the flu, or is there something to this weak drivetrain "FUD"? :awkward-seal: I'm totally fine with blaming the flu. la la la la la la la.

I run an A139 Pro in the family car, and have been happy with it (and I prefer something smaller without a screen, because I'm going to view/control it from my phone anyway). They have newer generation cams out (same excellent Starvis sensors, but more compute power etc), but nothing discreet...

Bear in mind that for this issue, it should be 8 years... assuming they don't wriggle out of calling this "corrosion" (which I absolutely have heard it termed as for composite panels) https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/lotus-warranty/emira The biggest beef I'd have is the hassle of having to...

I'd be asking for a refund on that PPF job...

So I also did this over the weekend, and have a couple of mini-tips that might help out others: 1. You don't necessarily need to unhook all the wiring looms from the dash panel... I couldn't figure out if they were supposed to unclip easily, or just required more force than I was comfortable...

I'd be inclined to follow the bed-in instructions from Hawk - https://www.hawkperformance.com/how-to

<Stares at expansive undertray> ... what decat? (important to note, the main monitored cats are still in place, and internet wisdom speaks of the secondary only being there to satisfy certain markets)

@MiamiBlue , @Orchardbike if you are not a million miles away from Oxford (or you happen to be passing by), you could possibly have a listen to mine... I've done the delete pipe, and am unlikely to bother with the controller. IMO, not too much more aggressive when just tooling around, and then...

Shout out to whoever was coming the opposite direction in a Magma on the B4507 near Wantage... I was the Seneca giving it the beans heading towards Uffington :D Beautiful day for a drive!

oh my... having this kind of stuff be a simple pluggable upgrade is seriously challenging my resolve to hold off on any more mods. 😅

I'm going through the same place you did (Silverstone), so it sounds like Lotus has tightened the policy. It sounded very much like it is no longer at the discretion of the dealer.

Be sure to grab some before and after pics... for science!

It's a flat no to that. They are taking such a bath on this issue that only panels that present with the issue are even considered for warranty replacement. I actually took mine to the dealer today for first service, and had the blisters documented to begin the warranty process, so the above...

Cheers guys. I was aware of the whole RON situation, just curious whether the base maps in the ECU were different enough in your market versus RoW to throw the piggyback a curveball 👍 This is firmly on my post-warranty-period shopping list.

So, stupid question: are the maps likely to be US-specific (given you guys had CARB-related tune changes as standard), or will they work without a hitch for us alien types? Is international support for this product generally considered pretty good?

Nice. I did end up going ahead with mine, choosing to have it done before collection, and having never seen it in person... I have almost identical spec and wheels as @Golden Parrot, so his photos were enough to convince me it was going to work out. I was and still am super happy with it. He...

I'm right there with you with pretty much every item on that list... and similarly, this is me "being good" compared to the past 😆

Agreed. This mod fixed probably the only thing that actually annoyed me about the car. Totally worth it (and a shame this wasn't how it came from the factory).

Fixed that for you ;)

Brutal slap to V6 owners if true...

FWIW, I actually reached out to the team at Ghost 18 months ago, and the reply I got was they had an Emira solution "in development" and a few weeks away from being done, so in theory they should be ready by now :) Thanks for the reminder that I should look into that again now.

Finally got around to doing mine just now (bought the parts months ago!), and found your post afterwards :) A good set of tips, especially on removing the piano black ring/surround piece - good to know I struggled with the clips for no reason :LOL: - but a small correction regarding the tiny...

I don't think I've ever heard the term "McKaren", but you got a solid laugh from me... do they (or owners) really have the reputation you imply? :) I will say (touching all wooden things within reach) that my example has been totally reliable as a daily(ish) driver, and the only thing that got...
