Watched Harry's and smoking tyre and feel very lucky to have got my v6 at the original price. I definitely bought the right car for me. I4 is pretty much the same weight, sounds nowhere near as good, appears the the gearbox (a potential big plus for the i4) is a disappointment. The steering...

I never thought so but I have a valve controller and I swear even valves fully open all the time there's more bubbles and pops in track 🤔

Yep most of the time, sport if it's really wet/cold.

Or maybe a framed print of your spec car... 🙄 5mths later......

Not a particularly happy bunny at the moment, still love the car itself, but.... I'm 5mths in, preparing for my 7th trip back to the dealer. There's a recall for the wipers, ironically mine are fine. I'm now told they recommend a run in service. The handbrake service required warning still...

I won't edit the aftershave or 90% of this thread won't make sense 😄🤦

Here's a strange one, had an email from my dealer saying if my 5mth old 2k ml car has done more then 1k miles they strongly recommend an aftershaves service at £153, anyone else?

I'm just not a particular black wheel fan, much prefer tge dc, but, I do plan to get them redone in gloss black where the satin grey is

I'm 6ft with size 10 feet and not had/noticed an issue with that tbh. Maybe I have bendy ankles 😄 Or maybe being taller than schmee my seat is just further back 🤔

Gives razor sharp lines

Crazy evening light @nimbus_emira_v6

It was done by PCW exhaust mods, just a slight rework of the internals but he did say there's very little to be done, it's basically the same as the supersprint internals

I haven't had that yet just the back box mod. Had a conversation with a guy that had oe exhaust but controller and cat delete pipe and he was concerned it was borderline too loud.

Firstly, what's tour mode??? Never heard of it 😄 Might be worth contacting yiur dealer for the updates, mines a 6/3/23 car and its had two infotainment updates. That said I've had no issue with it from the start (Android) but even the basic non android auto systems, heating, radio etc work...

Lotus honoured the warranty on the wheel alignment no problem Valve controller and exhaust continues to bring joy to many children daily on the school run #revitmister #preyfori4drivers

Which will help inside the car but I get asked on a daily basis by kids on bikes (mostly with thier phones out) to give it a rev, which gets thumbs up or fist pump 😄 guess i4 drivers will either have to wind the window down for them or basically just be more mature than me 😬🤦

As an edit I'm using Android auto wireless and its faultless

Seems to be about £270 everywhere I looked.

The valve controller would be easy enough I would think even if there's no US agents.

4mths in and I agree... with absolutely none of this 🤣 absolutely nailed it imo,

Valve controller, just start it in noisy mode 😉👍🏼

All about what you want from it I guess I'd sooner have the noise and the 400bhp. Having lived with it for 4mths the power is spot on for fun on UK roads. Think the dct will give it a more modern junior super car feel though.

Lol that's not going to make it sound any better, also if rumours are to be believed you'll run into cooling issues.

100% no. If ever a car did not need a massive rear wing

Yep, my wife emailed him back in early May for my birthday and got that reply. 4mths after collection I'm not sure they could really say working through them 🤣 It's not like I'm going to hang it in the downstairs shifter but it's part of the Provenance of the factory collection

It definitely didn't leave the factory like that, curious one for sure. Not sure re camber adjustment

When I heard ot at Hethel there was a slight whumph on gear change.

Are they still doing the spec framed pics on collection? Picked my car up 6th March, no picture ready but was assured I'd get it "soon" Over 4mths later.....

Food blender

Be interesting, although I've seen a few a45s struggle to make claimed numbers so who knows. I'm just really curious to hear it go up the hill to see 8f they've done anything with the noise since I heard it. I still suspect the grey v6 that went up the hill originally had its valves disabled...

Lack off front end grip is an odd one given my road experience. I can't comment on track but on road it's phenomenal. I've seen 1.5g recorded on tight stuff turning in (not sure how accurate they are). I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable pushing car any harder on the road. There's more than...

You think the dct will be .2 quicker even with a 40bhp deficit?

Yes, it's fitted to my car! There's more on it in my journal but yes fully open is fully open all the time and magnificent. Closed is closed and the 3rd option is factory settings

They told me as much when I collected my car at the factory, all about electric now

So update, great service by central lotus again yesterday. 3 updates done, ecu, parking sensors and media system. The slight speaker rattle I was getting was from the sub, added an extra layer of foam and re mounted it. Seems to have cured it. However..... It went for a wheel alignment and...
