People need to understand how insane the FX30 and new 20 are ...feature films are made using these tiny bodies...so crazy good

Thank you! drone is a DJI Mini 4 Pro in raw, and the land stuff is a Sony A7-C with usually a 50mm f1.1 Voigtlander

ok after few days of testing the AntiGravity lithium...I am pretty sure the I4 alternator programming is specifically designed for the AGM 12V. I got the state of charge down to 57% and the car still would not charge the battery, because it still shows 12.95V which is normal for an AGM battery...

If any of you would like to wake up an at un-Godly hour (or just stay up) we can meet up one of these days at my favorite turn out on ACH for pre-sunrise photos. @F1 SML8R has been to a couple lol. Blame summer hours, sunrise is around 5:45, we should arrive on site around 5am, which means...

@675430VME sorry to go off topic but who makes the best upgraded intercooler radiators and reservoir upgrade?

Oh about lithium: so the mercedes system is looking for voltage that drops to 12.3-12.5V since it's designed around an AGM battery and that would be voltage that triggers the alternator to start charging. A lithium battery is putting out 13.1+ at around 60-70% SOC but the ecu sees a healthy AGM...

I wish Lotus would update this part of the software to have the alternator just work like a normal one and top off all the time...doubtful they would change this it might just be part of a locked AMG package. I just timed my car after a drive the pump is still going after 47 minutes

Crazy how far it drops on one drive...but on the positive side you're showing very healthy charging voltage and it's doing exactly what it's supposed to. Still would be better if the system didn't let the battery get so low in the first place.

After weeks of diagnostics, voltage logging, and some real head-scratching moments, I wanted to share findings about the Emira’s 12V charging behavior which is probably responsible for some of the battery related issues people are having on the AMG version. My car was at the dealer for a long...

The driver side is Gias III with higher side bolstering, and the passenger is Stratia III. If possible test sit in them they are pretty narrow but they are super comfortable (again based on your body type)

Mine has the black pack and I wrapped it with CF PPF, looks great combined with the real CF parts - a pillar roof and rear window vents

Super comfortable and it's great they can recline and slide for fitment - most importantly great lateral support which the stock seats aren't great at. Weight savings are great too

The LOTUS lettering was just kind of a pain to clean all the dust around and inside the letters when detailing my car lol...

In the title Aerie CF 👍

The system in my Plaid MX is same, just pretty incredible for a stock system with deep imaging and what sounds like a 10" sub (think it's 8) but yeah, the KEF system is a terrible joke. And I4 owners have to contend with the bass carrying the AMG engine/exhaust sounds too....so bad

could this mean somehow one day we won't have to SMOG anymore in Cali? one can dream

I know it's a sad photo but...just here to say your car looks awesome in that color, wow

On the second visit I got a loaner, was an SUV...the first time I didn't ask for one. Your thermostat is not related to the sand casing issue right?

Oh ...can life be that simple? Alternator is dying...diode ripple voltage is dangerously high, battery not charging...will know soon what's happening there, probably damaged from the voltage resistance and working too hard. Having said that it's driveable off battery power just not forever lol -...

During driving I got a "critical engine" warning and my power steering intermittently failed, coming in and out for a few minutes - then eventually dying altogether. Battery monitor was showing at the time a low idle voltage of 12.2V and during driving only charging right after lift off of...

It's to make it sound like this (really!)

Thanks to @docron for his info on this, got me to take it out of the box and install it lol. of note: I do NOT have the fake engine sound generator on in my car, that was disconnected so there is no AMG sound enhancement in this video (your I4 may sound different) My windows are down so the...

I installed mine as well...not that many miles maybe 20 in total. No CEL. VERY "polite" pshhh sound. Small boost is very short pshh. Deeper into RPM's and lots of boost, longer louder PSHH. I'll take some video at some point. But easy installation, took me maybe 10 minutes going slowly because...

I have seen your Elise during the entire build...what a monster, and I understand the desire to get the Emira closer to that experience!

yep it IS a lot of work for 8 gears, it's just that in Touring mode in automatic you are in 7th or 8th gear as fast as it can upshift...easy to just drive in sport or track now and keeps revs up - and yes it goes away with higher octane gas I don't think the maps on these cars were designed...
