    NWAA @ ORP June 23

    Anyone here going to Oregon Raceway Park on June 23rd hosted by NWAA? This will be both my first event with NWAA and on track at ORP, but looks like it would be fun.

    Low speed, full lock, tire slipping?

    I tried searching, and sorry for not having a more technical explanation, but it feels like I get front tire slipping (maybe rubbing) on low speed maneuvering (1-3 MPH), on near/total wheel lock, and while on a steeper incline. My car clunks on full lock too, but this is different. Has anyone...

    Portland OR Oil Change?

    Hello, I'm nearing the 1k mile mark and would like to get my oil changed. Park Place said any "qualified, high performance shop" would be sufficient in maintaining my warranty. Now that Freeman Motors is no longer a local PDX Lotus dealership, who is everyone using?

    Track Night in America - Fun or Crazy?

    There is a Track Night in America event coming up at Portland International Raceway later this month. I've read mixed reviews - good opportunity to get on the track at a lower cost, but also lots of amatures who might create problems. I've done a few open track days, HPDE, and BMWCCA events at...

    PPF on headlights?

    What are your thoughts on applying ppf on the headlights? I’ve had some headlights get badly pitted and cloudy after many years without ppf, but I’ve also heard stories about delamination and potential optical issues with ppf.

    Nilu Hypercar

    I love that cars like this are still being made. Who says you can’t have a manual transmission in a car with over 1,000 hp?! Only 15 available, so better get yours now.

    Cat Scratch Fever

    Ok, maybe not in the same way Ted Nugent was implying, but my cat is notorious for jumping on my cars in the garage. He has scratched them before, especially when he's slowly trying to "fall" off the side. Has anyone found a good solution for this problem that doesn't require creating a...

    Porsche ends combustion engine in 718 Cayman/Boxster in 2025.

    Dang - hard to believe. Probably good news for residuals on the final production Caymans though. Car & Driver article linked here.

    Emira Factory Tint Levels

    Does anyone know the factory tint level when selecting privacy glass on the Emira? I would assume it's around 20%. I want to get my front windows tinted at the dealership before picking up and would ideally like it to match the factory rear/quarter glass shade. Legally, 35% is allowed in my...

    2025 Model Year Emira?

    Can anyone confirm when Lotus typically moves from one model year to the next and/or when the Emira 2025 models will start rolling off the assembly line? I recognize they could theoretically start 2025 model year cars on Jan 1 2024, but most car companies don’t make the switch until later in...

    Thoughts on Mist White?

    Hello, I'm getting ready to spec my car and am torn on Mist White. Can anyone confirm, is this the same color as the prototype car featured in early reviews? The configurator makes this very hard to discern - the images below are the exact same spec, but one is in "studio" and the other is...
