3rd Cat Delete

When I drive my 550 Maranello, M6 or LC500 you sit IN the seats and the cars just seem to wrap around you. Everything seems to fall to hand easily. The steering wheels are the right size, position AND SHAPE (The Emira steering wheel is for anyone BUT "the drivers"). They have gobs of power...

I kind of feel the opposite. I've done 1400 miles in two months and I just can't seem to bond with the car. I really want to love this car as other than an MC20 there is nothing else out there I want. But every time I drive it I consider that maybe I should just sell it.

Does anyone have an idea what the weight savings and HP Gains are for @GRP 3rd Cat Delete pipe?

Yeah, that's a totally different attachment setup than what I have on mine.

Nah. They can't keep up 🤣

I was supposed to trade in my LC500 for the Emira but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm very glad I didn't as I already find myself thinking about what I want to trade the Emira in on next. I'm thinking MC20. I never felt that way about the LC.

You know why they're called Goodyear? Because they're only good for one year! I can't stand the Goodyears and can't wait to replace them with Michelins.

That article is two and half years and SOOO MANY lies ago.

Even with all the adjustments made I still feel like I need more lateral bolstering and a softer bottom.

Try it now @Porter

Not sure what their plans are for Lotus and BAC. The black building in between Porsche and Ferrari that was slated to be Lotus is what they're turning into the parking structure.

I'd be surprised if any of the newer dealers will hold onto the brand at this point. I know RDS (Lotus Philly) has changed their plans for the building that was supposed the new Lotus showroom. It's now going to be a multi-level parking/storage structure as they are already out of space for Porsche.

Pretty unuspired replacement imo 🧐

Some of us no longer follow that thread after taking delivery of our cars.

Yes!

I used detailing clay on the windshield. When I first got the car I could feel some sort of residue. I assume it was from sitting around in the elements waiting for delivery after the Baltimore fiasco

Could probably cut that down a bit. It's got to be better than the zig-zag funnel. That thing is so fiddly to keep still.

What Bluetooth module are you guys using?

Nearly 30lbs is a significant weight savings!

Yes. Same driver's side front. I just assumed it was the tow hook I put on.

"I considered making a subpanel for oil service in the future or at least drilling a hole so if there are any leaks they would have a more direct path to drip and be seen" "Just another opportunity for the aftermarket to step up with a solution" Yep, agree 💯 Maybe @GRP can come up with an...

Doesn't that battery require a different trickle charger? @GRP can you clarify this?

Many use the 35 rule. 35% of your gross income is how much car you can afford. When I was working I was more conservative and used 25% as my number. I'm a retired investor, so instead of an income basis, I use a percentage of net worth as my measure for car purchases. I don't allow my car...

Take the orphan unless you REALLY want sport suspension for track days. The tour suspension is perfectly acceptable for spirited on road use. And who is your dealer? I had to confirm my build twice by email. The first time was after I put the deposit down. They sent me a copy of my build spec...

Oh, Nevermind. I found the link.

Thank you @Kimmax Where did you get the service manual?

The twisted seat belt is driving me crazy! Has anyone successfully untwisted their Seat belts? What's involved? How difficult was it?

I'll add that it's worthwhile to do both as the sound is, as others have said, transformative.

I did both the Milltek Valve Controller and @GRP cat delete myself when I did the break-in oil change. The actual install of both devices is very easy and straightforward. The hardest part was dealing with all those bolts holding the diffuser and under tray up. Getting them to line back up when...

I agree. While Atlantis is stunning, Nimbus really shows off the lines of the car.

It's measurably better. Well worth doing imo.

It was $700 per seat. I did both seats.

Had the seats fixed... - We added 1" medium density foam to the "butt" spot. - 1/2” soft foam to the leg support area and to the small strip between the seat bottom and seat back. -Shaved the bulge off the center of the seatback Haven't taken it for a drive yet. But I'm now making contact with...
