    New owner perspective

    Yah the e92m3 system is pretty good. It was the first car I owned where I didn't think it was worth the effort to upgrade it anymore. Here is the order of stereo quality in my mind: emira..........e92m3, Zl1, s550 (burmester), s90 (B&W) There is a big jump between the emira and the M3. :)

    Its better than the s2000 from any year IMO. The knob on the s2000 is better.

    I did the engineer bit last, so I wasn't ruined by numbers and formulas at a young age..

    I totally agree. Its funny how these little things all add up, but each are really important in their own right.. Especially if they are part of a new experience.

    New owner perspective

    Its all perspective! For me, now, this car rocks. If in a month parts start falling off, or the idle hesitates, or it strands me, you can be damn sure my follow up review would have a different tone!

    I was Charged FE 2.0 price for a FE 1.0… but there is a twist

    Oh were you the same guy with the dropped keys? OMG given the overpayment I'd definitely demand new ones.

    I was Charged FE 2.0 price for a FE 1.0… but there is a twist

    Lotus of Dallas / Earth Motorcars. Shady f'in crooks!! If they misrepresented the car as a 2.0 and you got a 1.0, then you do have a leg to stand on. Changes were made during production (presumably, based on issues they had with early cars) and it could affect resale value. Do you have it in...

    Shout out to Lotus Cape Fear

    I don't normally leave reviews like this for dealers, generally because I like to be a positive person and spread joy not hate :) but I feel compelled to given my recent purchasing experience. I am a pretty serious researcher. I've called every Lotus dealer in the United States looking for...

    Does anyone know the model number of this connector?

    I'd like to do these in a batch form, is anyone else interested?

    Thanks for the kind replies! I added a couple more bullets near the end I forgot about.

    Buying used?

    As I understand it, the electrical gremlins are mostly solved by two things: a fully charge battery and the ECU update that was released recently. For the paint bubbling, I believe this was just earlier UK cars with the issue.

    Article about stick shifts - my new most disliked writer

    What an idiot. Ignorance is no excuse for spreading bad info.

    Does anyone know the model number of this connector?

    I could do it professionally, but I'd have to charge like $100 for the bolt in adapter and connector to make it worthwhile. With the 3d print and Apple wireless adapter, a turn key setup, it would be more like $325.

    Does the car scrape easily?

    I totally stole that pic from another forum member, but it must be a website somewhere.

    New owner perspective

    [cont.] The Verdent green is as expected - mostly black with occasional moments of green. I like the assumed stable resale value of green, and the understatedness of it, but the yellow calipers pop and help folks notice the car. I love them! The calipers are hard to photograph too. Its matched...

    New owner perspective

    I have only put about 300 miles on my car, but I thought someone would like to hear about my first time observations whilst they wait for theirs. I have seen every YouTube review (like even the ones in other languages), read all the paper ones, hammered forums.. I'm that guy. So I'm not going to...

    Does the car scrape easily?

    I believe I read it had a better approach angle than a Boxster. Its pretty good, I went over stuff I would have scraped on with my other cars, and it didn't.

    puddle lights?

    But wait, if they are making them specifically for the car, they would just angle it too.

    puddle lights?

    oh you're right. good point.

    puddle lights?

    I bought some for my other car and love them. Does anyone know if there is a lotus version? I saw one but it looked like it required drilling. I'm looking for a direct fit replacement.

    Doug's show used MY picture of an emira!

    For me he is one of those people you look at and want to punch in the face. Not sure why.

    RWD vs AWD

    Its something that comes naturally as you progress. I'd make sure you have heel-toe sort of nailed first. Also remember the bias on this car is 63% rear, so its going to come around a little faster than some others with a 50/50 split. That's why to slide this car, I heard a professional driver...

    Keeping the car in Tour mode for the 1000 mile break-in

    The sport mode just changes the proportion between how much pedal is depressed and how much gas is hitting the motor. They likely say to avoid sport mode in an effort to enable customers to use more gentle throttle inputs.

    Red engine cover from a Evora GT?

    Sorry if this has been asked. How close is the top side of the Evora GT v6 to ours? I like that red engine cover. I wonder what the part and gasket costs?!

    More details for KEF Audio

    My other car is like this. It needs a mobile phone source to sound best. Tidal is high Q (if you can deal with all the bad music suggestions..)

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    Do we have a recommended check list per each defect yet? Checking grounds (and maybe which ones) is a good one to add.

    Keeping the car in Tour mode for the 1000 mile break-in

    I think somewhere else it says for first 4or 600 miles to not go above 4k, but then it says what you wrote above. I'm with you though. I just take it easy, gentle on everything, no hard throttle transitions, but I think some light accels are fine. This is a Toyota motor. I doubt its breaking...
