Did the dealer mention possibility of sand getting into the cooling system due to cast sediment?

The software update for r n 1 is absolutely night and day. I no longer need to look down at it. I'm driving post software updates and there's no change by the seat of my pants in powertrain performance.

I'm working with sprint booster to prototype throttle controller.....I'm sure I'll get hate but I love them on these over delayed factory throttles

354 is confirmed US torque spec

Was out in it this morning, all 354 is there.

I called my service rep....he said no way. I've got a call into my lotus engineer contact, I'll post after I hear back.

Appreciate you being the US pioneer on this. Let's see if there's enough juice here to warrant the squeeze.

No, it's a piggyback with more options. I've had many jb4 units, never an issue. Terry burger responds via email quickly when you have questions.

In the shop for a week getting 5 software updates. Dying to drive it.

Looks like 391 or so at the wheels, will be ready in couple of weeks. This looks to be similar to TDI product where you need to connect to the sensors.....not just simple plug in

It's not about caring, it's about comparing. Love my i4 and with a bit of modification at this price point, I'm very happy. Never bought it as an investment, nor last ice. Bought it to have a blast.

Shoe horn a V8 into the back of an emira and call it a Gt3 competitor? Not a chance.....fun, yes, 6:56 ring time, wouldn't be close.

When my car was delivered the wheel was off center left. Alignment chk confirmed toe and castor off and remediated with Alignment. Fast forward, after break in, I started getting on car a bit harder. At higher speeds, the steering wheel would vibrate slightly in my hands. Road force balance...

I believe TDI did a great job spelling the install out. My only problem, and I usually run piggybacks on all my cars, as the I4 is screaming for one.....it's the fact these cars are service prone and I'm just concerned that I'll have to rinse and repeat every time there's a warranty issue. And...

Enjoy your car!!

Grundy.....24 emira, 22 z4, 1723 combined annually with 500 ded with 25 yo driver clause, no mileage limit

If you're referencing the video he did 8 months ago, that's the 360hp variant with little to no software updates to the DCT. My US 400hp DCT, at least in track mode, does not reflect anything that video describes. There's very little at the bottom but once you get up past 5k, the powerband is...

I was moaning a bit during my I4 break in as tour-mode is tuned very conservatively. Track mode however, totally different animal. Much greater throttle sensitivity and the boost hits hard higher up than I expected. You will certainly notice the weight distribution when you hit boost as the...

They've got one guy there that handles all of the service requests and appointments. I believe with Lotus ownership, we're gonna need a bit of patience.

Cool....thanks hj

Harley, any luck with that noise? I'm now hearing it every time I go out. On a good note, passed 1000 miles. I was pleasantly surprised how high up in the rpms the powerband is......it makes you want to repeat it over and over again!! It comes alive the harder you drive it but it's...

I've sent the connectors to sprint booster and burger to see if they have compatible hardware and software. I believe a throttle controller coupled with a piggy back (I do this with all my cars) absolutely transforms the car with little to no warranty worry....imo

Side note.....have been emailing back and forth with tdi.....they are super quick and detailed in their responses. I see that as a great sign.

Thank heavens!!

I keep hearing that....I'm 800 miles in, US car, I4. Ghost sensor, blinker error, clanking noise behind seats. There's 4 software updates that my local dealership will do in 2 weeks. Aside from the looks and unique feel on the road, I'm just not there yet. Let's see after breakin to see if...

Wonderful....wait 2 yrs for car and now I'm ordering double sided tape off Amazon to fix my car....lol

Hi, Any suggestions on product to clean my yellow calipers? Bit of a nightmare.....ty

Sorry to hear and make sure to have that spine checked out if you were occupant. My guess is you never look back at the brand....gl

My i4 delivered with same wheel position, albeit, not as bad....toe and castor off, alignment corrected issue.

Hey fellow nimbus....yes I4.

That entire area is not put together well....I'm getting the same sound over bumps, but seems to be right dominant.....this car better rip after break in because my initial powertrain impressions are meh.

That happens to me every now and then when not fully warmed up....my m2s dct used to buck like crazy in first. I wouldn't think it's fluid levels at this point I'm literally at 650 now as well.

Can the average joe mechanic get this fitted to the correct sensors? Looking forward to any upcoming news.

Nobody mentioned increasing top end with this software. As you put it, if I can get 20% throttle with 10% pedal input by opening the tb quicker, we'll I'm good with that. It's a small, inexpensive plug and play that's made me pretty happy with my other turbo cars.. .of course it does not...

I'm looking to see if there's any hardware/software available that's compatible with the Emira I4 to increase throttle sensitivity.

Curious if anyone is familiar with the accelerator pedal on the Emira. Is it the same as the Evora, Elise, Exige? I've put the sprint booster in many of my turbo cars and its a night and day difference in throttle sensitivity.

160 in NJ....no biggie, however I know that sound!!

So I'm at about 400 miles....I sneak into sport mode now and then. I'm a bit underwhelmed. Are i4 owners experiencing something different? Maybe because I'm not high in the rpms? Touring is downright muted too death.....thoughts?
