Someone who's interested might want to reach out to RennTech perhaps they can be inspired to crack the code. https://renntechmercedes.com/index.php/products/mb/cla/cla-118-2019/cla-45-amg/rpm-45-detail

Have any of you noticed a faint smell of coolant coming from the left side top(1st) engine vent port after a drive?

TurboTambo - are you able to confirm the stock exhaust system only had a Single Cat no Secondary cat? thanks

Might also want to ask your local dealer if the Lotus Diagnostics software can disable. Used Mercedes Star software to disable the TPS warning light preeminently on one of my cars when a sensor went out and didn't want mess with the tires....

Yes, pull the amp fuse and see if the engine sound in the cabin disappears. This will settle a debate on the forum ;)

Nothing of note, yet. Except for a faint smell of coolant coming from intercooler upper tank, might be the cap vent... Uncertain if this V6 or AMG engine specific.

That will certainly get us over the min order for Aeries. Waiting for them to send pricing, fabrication time is a bit less than a month. Suspect pricing will be the same or less than Aeries Carbon ports they already sell $663 perhaps less for the black fiberglass ports... (Open ports have...

Wonder when Lotus will offer base AMGs as they now do for the V6./?

Totally agree - think Lotus was gun shy on setting the price at $125k loaded out of the gate. Selling for 99,999 cheapens image of the Emira....market doesn't need a bargain high volume car, especially from Lotus. Focus Lotus HQ. Aside, this is one of the best looking cars in my...

{out of the top mesh hole at the back window] ---exactly--- Took the shroud off and checked upper tank's cap, perhaps a breather issue not sure yet. Left a message with the local Lotus dealer to see if they any suggestions. BTW- my upper tank fluid was at the min line, added fluid to the...

That stinks ! I have a faint coolant smell - seems to be emanating from the upper tank, but no signs leaks. I need to really inspect the hoses.....

Looks like we're a go to manufacture with Aeries for a Gloss Black port. They do require a minimum order to get started. Never done one of these group orders before, so any guidance from experienced members is appreciated. IMO Ideally Aeries could put a 'coming soon' on their site with a...

Happen to be on the US lotus site and noticed Lotus US is once again talking orders for the V6 version. All the speculation on the V6's eminent demise was premature.... Base version is now available.

[If the removal of the louvers implies also removing that portion of the rear wheel liners, then its potential implications should be considered.] Yes, noticed that. The other side of the liner is the engine bay. I have a thermal camera, once the weather warms up a bit more going to see if any...

Yes, not going in a good direction. Hopefully they are producing a lot of spare proprietary parts in case they go under :) I'm planning to keep this car for a while.

Nice ! @Aerie wrote back, they are willing to produce, however only in Carbo fiber. I'm interested in Gloss Black. I need to write someone manufactures.....

[But that should have "burned off/evaporated" after 250 miles.]. I was thinking the same thing that's why I waited a bit. Took off the engine cover and loosened the reservoir caps and reseated ran for 20 minutes. Checked all accessible hoses nothing of note. Didn't smell anything either, going...

Has anyone noticed a coolant smell after shutting down car? (amg version). Only have 250 miles on car, thought it was just overflow when I first picked up in Dec, but I still smell coolant after shutdown.

System has two electric systems. The M139 has an Electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and the 63 car also has a 203HP e-drive . Think the M139 Electric exhaust-gas turbocharger plus a small batt pack is ~200 lbs heavier.

Think the M139 engine with 469HP and 442HP are electric assist turbo engines Which means Lotus would have to find room for a battery pack and electric motor, probably unlikely Lotus would invest in reworking the car for these components. They might brand an R one day... max output might be...

Wonder when Lotus will roll out the new pricing in the US...one would think Lotus would try to stay in sync with all the country portals.... dealer I purchased from did indicate prices where going up by -10k in 2025...

[ adjust parameters to never go over the 360.] Interesting postulation (think it lowers boost and timing accordingly to stay at 360HP ), thought I saw a post from a UK member who removed the primary cat. He stated he pickup HP on the infotainment display....(over 360hp).... think it was close to...

[Forget it, the infotainment hp meter is not accrue by any means] Yes, values are all calculated with assumptions; however it's an interesting data point, and at the end of the day the data might not be too far off the mark .... plus its something interesting to evaluate ; that doesn't cost...

Current record posted by member JackSlack ==> 423hp / Torque 499nM or ~368 ft-lbs. Outdoor Temp 45-50deg F. 750 miles left before I can toggle out of tour mode.....and take some runs for myself.

[Does anyone know how Lotus calculates bhp and nM that's shown in the display?] It's all calculated from data from various sensors. Mass Airflow, Injector rate, boost, timing, etc. It's not a dyno output figure. [Wondering if anyone has done a dyno w/V6 and compared.] Yes, would be nice to...

In another thread a US AMG owner just shared his infotainment performance data, wonder how close to reality this data is.... What torque and HP figures does the US V6 max out at? would be a good reference point...

Nice run ! Think I posted in another thread that the AMG engines would have to be pushing more than 400hp to be under 3.5s to 60mph. Your video helps make that claim, 423hp wow. Torque maxed out around 499nM or ~368 ft-lbs. Curious what was the approximate outside temp? We should probably...

0-60 and 1/4 mile ET have been the gold standard for decades. Yes, 5-60 has been in the mix, however so many factors play into a street start it often not a figure cited by manufactures or discuss by road test editors.

Just sent an email to Aerie's, might also reach out to darwinproaero.com hethelsport.com dream-automotive.com Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Good video , opening the port does add character. Think I'll reach out to one of these companies that creates all the carbon fiber parts, see how many units they need to sell for production to make sense.

Has anyone thought about commissioning a redesign of the rear wheel ports. Today there is a small port/opening in the wheel-well and three louvers in the block gloss port in the rear. If the port was wide open -- no louvers-- and the opening in the wheel-well was opened completely it might...

Perhaps this article will help with your decision... From a sound perspective, installed the valve controller on my i4 and it really brings the car to life. Waiting for GRP to offer a 2nd cat delete pipe, and I'll be done with mods.

Yes, both US and Chinese cars are marketed as 400hp, however Chinese owners are have been showing video clips of Emira's with power meter showing 416hp. The cars internal HP meter can be displayed on the infotainment screen and selected to display on the dash.

Curious if anyone has completed the 1000 miles break-in on an AMG car in the US, and pushed the car to max power. Looking to see if US cars have the same max power in the instrument display as the Chinese cars @ 416hp or 400hp ? I have a long way to go on my car, had for a month and only have...

Thanks, GRP indicated they are working on a bypass pipe for the Turbo. However, perhaps I can order the Australian exhaust section to bypass the 2nd cat....

Has anyone found a site that sells a 2nd cat delete pipe for the AMG version? All the sites I've visited only sell the v6 bypass pipe.

Certainly adds character to the lack luster engine cover, well done.
