Some Lotus trivia going way back.... If I recall correctly (I got chummy with a few of the senior sales guys at Lotus USA), I think Lotus didn't actually call the color "Ithaca Verde" given it was "someone else's" proprietary color? However, it was in fact the identical paint mix, but Lotus...

Appreciate it guys. Sounds like it can be done in 1 day, but they keep it overnight to fire up and ensure it's gone? If so, I may just ask to take it same day. Normally, I wouldn't care, but unfortunately there's only 1 dealer in the greater LA area and it's a hike for me.

@robrmon @bshads was this done on the same day you dropped off or did they have to keep the car for the telematics error fix? I ask, because @brainf18 dealer, it apparently took several hours which I assume means they kept the car for at least a couple of days. If you can all chime in, that...

Great to hear @GRP Honestly, I was a little surprised the usual suspects hadn't put out a product yet.

ACH has way less traffic on an early Saturday/Sunday morning. Also, CHP expects (i.e., tolerates) a certain level of enthusiasm from sports cars and motorbikes. So as long as you aren't blatantly driving like an idiot, it's the more car culture friendly road. The malibu CHP team is on the...

The only thing you can't turn off is ABS. I think it's a DOT/Uncle Sam thing at least in the states.

Usually GiroDisc puts out left/right specific rotors for front and back, but they don't appear to b out yet. Typically, Inokinetic sells them once they are available. Hopefully GiroDisc or AP put out options soon.

What's crazy is you know this will be offered as a standard color along with all the classics like Chrome Orange, etc. at some point in the future.

I was a regular with my Carrera T when we had a couple of years of flexibility starting in 2020. Now, I'm back to being a working stiff doing the 8-5 (well 6-3 as I work central time). I would be down for any pre-scheduled Saturday or Sunday morning. The earlier, the better if we want to...

If you track more than once or twice a year, you want to change it out to either the OEM or one of the aftermarket baffled pans. I did it in my Evora for engine safety. The Toyota power plant is super bullet proof... ...assuming it has oil.

I ordered v2. will certainly post once received and installed. I have an I4

Aerie has a couple... https://aerieperformance.com/products/emira-i4-titanium-exhaust-system-by-aerie-performance https://aerieperformance.com/products/emira-titanium-exhaust-system-v2-by-aerie-performance

@Clam How was this resolved for you? And was there a clear root cause?

Have a great time guys. I know those roads well. You'll have a blast!

PPF, paint correction, graphics, tint, and ceramic coating on top.

All cosmetic and protection work complete. Now pics! Hope to see you guys at the next outing!

As @Kaz suggested, I poked around in the electronics sub-forum and found the interior disassembly PDFs that someone else posted. I hope they don't mind me posting here for everyone's easy ref. Thanks again to all of you for "cracking the code" on this one. This is what car forums are about...

I won't be at this one guys. I was referring to @Kaz pre-dawn outing suggestion. With that said, I may join for the next one even if not the pre-dawn drone outing. I just got the car back today from PPF and graphics and it's going in for tint tomorrow. I'll post pics here this weekend in...

Yes, I like to row my own gears, and yes I loved my Evora (with the same drivetrain), but the second I hot lapped a Porsche with PDK at Buttonwillow, I knew I would never be faster than any dual clutch transmission. A 4c and 991.2 Carrera T later, I too waited for the I4 Emira. Let's just say...

Thank you, this is great news. I know you had a couple of other threads on the sound deadening, etc., but the pics there didn't make it obvious. At your leisure, can you post a pic that shows the general location of the amp and this harness (if you even have one handy)? Trying to figure out...

The second article is old news and was explained as needed to reset some parts of the manufacturing workflow.

Agree, would have been cool if they did a paint to sample, custom interiors, etc.

I like that you guys do it right. Early AM before the looneys get out for their drive. In los angeles, we're fortunate to have several really cool mountain roads a stones throw away. Show up at 8AM, you get chaos. Show up at 6AM, it's like your private mountain resort. As you're leaving...

Definitely, been a minute. Yet another reason to do it soon.

I'm in. I get the car back from PPF and graphics on Friday. Keep us posted.

Can't answer the first, but I can tell you supplies are absolutely not moving fast. How do I know? I just purchased mine about a week ago and called all 35+ dealers in the US and continue to track out of curiosity. Even with the 3.99% interest rate promo, cars still are not moving. I think a...

@MikeR Much appreciated!

He said 89, I was thinking that's not fast, that's so cal traffic actually moving! In all seriousness, he really was cool about it and for anyone interested, I was exceptionally polite and apologetic. I have to believe that came into play when he decided on warning vs. actual ticket. I...

It'll seem tedious, but if you are doing a manual bleed with just pressure (which it sounds like you did), just check the level and add after each wheel. Or, if you are using a pressure bleeder with new fluid in there and not just the air pressure, then you don't have to worry about this other...

Same here, blinker/turn signal topic happened at least twice. It does appear to go away once you tap either side again. I just grabbed the car on Friday from Los Gatos and drove it back home (LA area). So, I'm about 600 miles into the break-in. Otherwise, enjoying it, but annoyed I can't...
