    I did. It looked like they were changing the caliper color for you.

    Is it weird I wish the steering felt heavier?

    I’m sure it’s possible, but making big changes is likely to be expensive and very much trial and error. The easiest and least expensive way would probably be trying different alignment settings and playing with tire pressure. To mechanically make the steering quicker, you could possibly change...

    Is it weird I wish the steering felt heavier?

    I’m not sure there’s an easier way to make the steering feel “heavier” if heavier means more resistance or force to turn the steering wheel. Do you mean more force when you say heavier, or more feedback?

    Osmium Silver Lotus Emira photo thread

    Will do. It has been raining for 2 days. I am eager to wash it, and get it out in the sun for a few photos.

    True. So far, the weather seals are good.

    Honestly, they did great. I left it in Tour and was not hot rodding at all, but even so it was very stable, no hydroplaning. Not to bring up my Mustang in every other post, but driving a live rear axle, standard transmission, all rod-end link/no rubber or poly bushing suspension car with dried...

    Osmium Silver Lotus Emira photo thread

    30% on all side glass. No factory privacy glass. Nothing on the windshield. I didn’t do privacy or aftermarket Toni on the hatch glass because I wanted the engine to stand out. I was worried tint on the side and no tint on the hatch would look odd, but it doesn’t to me in person. The vertical...

    I’d probably have gone for the red interior and calipers, but I have a Mustang with that combo and I needed something a little different.

    Picked mine up today. I am very happy with Osmium. I think anyone who chose it will be happy too when they take delivery.

    I picked mine up today. I am a very, very happy fella. I was unsure about my spec when I ordered. If I recall, there were no actual photos of an osmium silver in the wild at that time. I regretted my decision, and thought many times I should have gone with vivid red. I am as pleased as I can be...

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

    Just an opinion, but... If no written manual is included with the sale of the car, and the salesman representing Lotus doesn't share the proper break-in procedure with you during delivery, I would think it would be very, very difficult for Lotus to deny any sort of warranty claim on the basis...

    Osmium Silver Lotus Emira photo thread

    I think that Osmium Silver highlights the design of the car better than any other choice. Also, I think this color will age very well. I would have gone for a louder color if there had been one that didn’t distract from the excellent design. For me, vivid red was a close second, but I...

    Is anyone being told that Lotus is not allowing outside financing?

    I don't know yet. I applied via a very generalized application through the dealer website this afternoon, which I'm sure means that they are shopping the loan to a bunch of lenders. No offers received yet. I have pre-approval through a credit union for 5.29% for the full purchase price of the...

    Is anyone being told that Lotus is not allowing outside financing?

    Thank y'all for the feedback. I am hoping this is either a miscommunication or misunderstanding on the salesman's part that I can get hammered out quickly. It seems very odd to refuse a check in the exact amount from a nation-wide financial institution...

    Is anyone being told that Lotus is not allowing outside financing?

    Sounded a bit odd to me. Honestly I don't care who I finance through as long as the rate I have already secured can be matched. I understand that a business can refuse different forms of payment, as it is their prerogative. I have purchased several cars before, albeit they haven't cost as much...

    Is anyone being told that Lotus is not allowing outside financing?

    Good afternoon, My car is here and ready to go. I have secured 3rd party financing through a credit union. My salesman is stating that Lotus is not accepting/allowing 3rd party financing. Has anyone else been told this? Thanks in advance.

    Osmium silver

    It looks great. When I chose to spec my car in osmium, it wasn’t the obvious choice on the configuration. I went back and forth many times before finally selecting it. I was still not sure I made the best decision after submitting my build code. However, now that I have seen my car in person...
