OC Lotus (Vic) has been easy to deal with. I'm currently awaiting parts for the drivers side door handle spring and the plastic seat trim which has snapped again. Only disappointment is that he declined to installing non-oem parts on my car; Hawk brake pads, Titanium exhaust tips, GRP short...

Looking good. Details? Offsets? Weights? Source? Pricing?

I had no issues at all. I didn't remove the under tray so can't speak to that but they completed the water diverter TSB, changed the oil and loaded the latest software. Car was ready when they said it would be. No real complaints about the service.

Eurocar/Lotus of OC was $538 for first service and oil change...

250 GT SWB is at the top of my list but the Emira will certainly be the most beautiful car I will have the privilege to own...photo credit to GearMoose via the web.

I didn't notice it but my wife was sensitive to the heat coming in the side glass. I'm not a tint guy but I had a very light, Xpel nano-ceramic tint installed (side windows and on the glass between the cabin and the engine bay) with 70% light transmission which seems to have helped. It really...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Happened to me as well. Twice now. There is a tab in the center that breaks. If we could solve the airbag light issue I'd pop for a pair of Tillett B10 XL and be done with it...

Agreed. That's about as close as I've found. From a performance perspective, where should rotational mass be concentrated? Wouldn't it be better concentrate the weight toward the center of the wheel? So the thinning of the spokes as they meet the barrel might be a positive. Assuming of course...

I've been looking for a good forged mono block 5-spoke design that channels the feel of the wheel in the sketch that was sent to us deposit holders here in the US during the long wait (see below). Spotted the Vossen VPS-3 and the HRE 305 GTS as candidates. Both appear to be customizable...

Hey KitKat, I have the same issue with my driver's side door handle not returning flush with the door after opening. You can push it flat and the door opens fine. Took the car in last week for my second oil change, software updates and for the installation of the water diverter/AC resistor pack...

As of June 6, 2025...

I do remember hearing about the heat from the turbo(s) doing a number on wiring/hoses/seals making reliability an issue. Still, I dug the look and that gauge cluster with the big tach dead center was pure art.

Always wanted one of those Silver/Red RX-7s! Would have settled for silver/black even... :p

Asked many times, my understanding is that it is done during manufacturing to balance the discs...

Posted in another thread but also wanted to say I'm pleased with the Darkworks Designs Aluminum shift boot delete. I think the silver matches the white interior better. Agree on the quality.

Yesterday, May 17, was Winston's one-year anniversary so I installed the Darkworks Design Aluminum Shift Boot Delete. Finished the day with 15,070 miles on the clock. Booked in to Eurocar on June 3rd for an oil change and the addition of a handful of mods (Hawk Ceramic Pads, GRP Short Shifter...

Three days shy of my one year anniversary, Winston hits a milestone. 😃

14,797 with 7 days to go to my one year anniversary. Daily driver. Love this car!! I average 60 miles a day during the week so I should clear 15k by the 17th. Not a hanger queen. Not an investment. :)

That's a lot of work! Did you document where you sourced the shift knob in another thread somewhere?

Afraid not. Charcoal grey/red Evora. No owner in sight. I’ll connect with Simon to see what he suggests. It would be cool to have all the Lotus in one area. I forgot to mention that I did chat with the black Esprit S1 owner that showed. Crazy how small that thing is. Passed down to him by his...

Good to catch up with @GrahamClark_60-68. Spotted the mist white/red with black pack and stealth PPF and F1 SML8R’s graphics. Sorry I didn’t get to meet either of you. I should have mentioned I’m the only nut job walking around in a bow tie. Hard to miss! There was also at least one Evora in...

I’m not in Florida but have been eyeing your GNS-1 (discontinued I believe) and GEN-01. Would probably go for stock diameter and widths (20x8.5 Front/20x10.5 Rear) but would probably push the rears out 10mm and the fronts maybe 5mm out from stock. Gloss gunmetal with a brushed finish. Can’t wait...

Passed 14,000 miles today (April 17). One month to go to reach my 1 year anniversary. Will book the car in for its second oil change and to have the TSB applied for the water incursion bib to be installed. While I’m there I will see if they can install the GRP spacers, short shift kit and some...

Ok, I'll throw it on my calendar!

I've taken Winston once and I believe @seriously showed that morning. The Emira was well received. Lots of positive comments from folks. They parked me between a Ferrari 812 and a Porsche GT3. It's a big show but it's pretty well organized and with plenty of variety. Rockwell's does a great...
