    (US Based) what Front and Rear Dash Cams Does Everyone Recommend

    I would be really pro Garmin mini because even at 1080 it takes clear shots and the new filter is nice on the 3 but I got one to test fit and I cant get it to connect for the life of me. I think if you get working ones its a great system where you can sync up to 4 of them to get the sides too...

    Shift Knob Replacement

    I like the style of the stock shift knob too although I wish it was a little bigger. If I could find an oversized one in the same style I would get it. Monkeywrench sells one but it doesn't have the shift pattern milled out.

    V8 Emira being considered to replace V6

    if they end up doing this it will end up being more of an esprit successor.

    In with my isotope green

    I've been pretty iffy on the isotope but I've really only seen pictures of it in bright lighting. That diffused lighting makes the color look really good. Especially that rear shot with the shadowing.

    DIY: Floating Console Modification

    Tracking shows my tray arriving tomorrow so I'm hoping to dig into this one this weekend. I too have the suntory black option for the void look.

    GFB BOV Sample

    Roof scoops on race cars were to let air into the cabin since they didn't have AC. I think they were going for that look with his GSX.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I got to see @mr.suntorytime setup this weekend. It looks like the V6 install is really easy. The connectors are all at the top of the engine and easily accessible with the panels off. I also got to see the prototype bracket and it mounts the unit in a very discreet location. Unless you are...

    The Break-In Period No One Talks About (V6 Manual, Sports Suspension, Cup 2)

    I think it works quite well on my canyon/mountain runs. I'm admittedly still in break-in running them in 3rd and 4th to keep the revs in check but it seems to do better in the tighter turns. I do feel weight transfer (touring spec) but its predictable and honestly adds a lot of fun to the...

    DIY: Floating Console Modification

    So I emailed Dino and he has them in stock again so I ordered one up. I must say he is exceptionally fast. I emailed at 7:21am my time and had a tracking number at 8:47am. This guy is great.

    It looks like I'm open for this Saturday and can do a Fathers Day as well as long as we keep it early in the day.

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    I'm not sure that's accurate. My 2022 Model 3 was better in just about every way from my 2019 Model 3. The panels were straight, the paint was better, they removed the piano black from the interior. My only complaint was the switch from Michelin to Perellis which I found to be a bit of a...

    Love the peculiarities..

    Unfortunate for sure but I assume the low temp light is setup that at that coolant temp at idle the oil temp is sufficient for driving. If you are going to be rough with it let it get fully up to temp driving before going to town.

    Instant weight loss and no strict diet with Tillett Seats!

    Its likely the guts are shared Volvo parts. Those are probably easier to get ahold of.

    Instant weight loss and no strict diet with Tillett Seats!

    In the UK they have a key switch to turn on and off the passenger airbag. For whatever reason that didnt make it to America. Is the answer to retrofit one of those in and then you can key it to off, stopping the system from faulting? EDIT: The location is in the glove box. Its that circle...

    Back to shopping for insurance - need recommendations

    Grundy is super low cost but only if you wont use the car for work or errands. They also take several weeks to approve your application. Hagerty is more expensive but more lenient on use. They approved me in a day.

    Headlight Adjustment

    Has anyone adjusted their headlights? I had my first night drive this weekend and the low beams do not project very far at all. I can bring it to the dealer but if there's a way to do it myself that would be ideal.

    0ppm Water Filter worth it for detailing?

    I washed my work truck yesterday in 96 degree heat. I could have used some demineralized water for sure. I ultimately said F it to staying outside any longer than need be and have some spots but its a white truck and will be dirty again in a week so Ill tough it out.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Good video and kudos on the mount development so quick. I'm still in break in but I have noticed that my V6 is getting pretty crap mpg which would make me wary of trying to operate a 93 tune due to gas availability. Luckily Burger does methanol systems too. I think if you are in CA at least...

    Redline Reviews: "The 2025 Lotus Emira 2.0T Is A Superlative Driver's Car With A Stonking Motor From AMG"

    Not much new to be said here but I do think we are going to see a mini resurgence of manuals in the highest tiers of the automotive spectrum. When all the cars go faster than you can handle, and they all still drive great around town, and they all cost enough to separate you from the common man...

    White spotting on v6 supercharger.

    I just ordered a gallon jug of that ACF-50 I have some white (and gold) spotting on the non-painted portion of the supercharger. I figure if I get it now it will be easier than trying to get it later. I also got the jug so I can apply with a rag to minimize overspray. Not sure how that will...

    Dash Design

    My biggest gripe is that there's no dedicated next and previous keys on the steering wheel for media. It forces you to go through menus to hit next on the song with the wheel or keep up media on the center screen. Its extra sucky because all US models have 2 wasted buttons on the left side of...

    You should probably just message Greg and see if he can help you out with that shifter. If its still not installed he might take it back and send you a new one or something.

    Isotype Green in the Flesh

    Isotope is a really love it or hate it color. Its one that could command a premium with the certain buyer but be a detriment to a large number of other potential buyers. This is also even at MSRP the most expensive version available. These will probably sit for a hot minute until the right...

    PPF on headlights?

    I have clear stek on my windshield and headlights. Ive never broken a headlight from a rock but it is pretty cheap insurance. The Emira headlights are pretty ornate and probably a hefty cost to replace.

    Emira track impressions

    If you can track one down they used to make a thing called a CG-Lock that would let you cinch up your seatbelt and it would lock it in. They stopped making them a few years back though. The other option is to slide your seat back a bit and get the seatbelt so that its locked and snug, then...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    There's nothing CARB about this one. It comes with a track only disclaimer. Of note the UK rates octane different than the US so you would have to do a rough conversion. Our 91 [(RON+MON)/2] is like your 95 (RON). US 93 is probably like a 97 there.

    I4 tuning box development - who wants one?

    The 93 tune is 444 at the wheels. That calcs out to a 15% loss between crank and wheels which is a pretty standard assumption for loss. Interestingly though they got 387 at the wheels for the base tune which is only a 4% loss if they are actually 400 at the crank. Applying 15% to the 387 is...
