Sure, sounds good. Let's exchange contact info via PM to follow up in July.

Agree, but frankly, for whatever it's worth, this debate "to OBD or Not to OBD?" is pretty easy settle ourselves. The kit's included OBDII connector wire is long and thin enough to simply run it temporarily from under the dash to the outside channeling it through a small opening of the driver's...

Go figure, this was their response to me…

This is not how it was explained to me by JB4 and it’s also not consistent with my own practical experience. It was explained to me that the obd connection simply allows for performance data transmission from the car to your smartphone and this seems consistent with the fact that when I switched...

My last BMW, a 650M was some 8 years ago so I don't have a manual, but I'm not doubting at all that the warning was there. If I were to follow all the recommendations in manuals, in my particular case, I'd have a pretty boring ownership experience with my cars. With my Emira, for instance, I've...

Interesting, I've used Rain-X on my past 5 BMWs, 2 Porsches and 2 Lexus without ever having a single problem with their washer system.

One easy fix that has worked for me in the past, admittedly not to my Emira yet, was applying Rain-X to the windshield and cleaning the rubber wiper blades with it. The slippery silicone polymer coating from the Rain-X product should eliminate the blade juddering. There’s a Rain-X washer fluid...

Here's yet another replacement option.

I think it may be difficult to find that OEM plastic ball head screw sold separately as I'd guess they're considered integral to the engine covers. Having said this, you may actually find a suitable aftermarket replacement for it. For instance, performing a quick search on Amazon, I found the...

Interesting adaptation @kitkat and likely to be functional, but I'm curious about one aspect... isn't that control arm to which you attached the brake ducts movable upward and downward? Do you think there's enough spacing to allow for such movement?

For sure. You can find a couple of posts with pics on the threads "Adding a Subwoofer" post # 113 and "Initial Results after adding Tweeters" post # 52.

Don't know, but I do know how you can get KEF tired.

No, I didn’t touch that at all. Just added the 2 tweeters in the empty grills of the A-Pilar’s and the much needed subwoofer.

Folks, There were several mods that I've undertook to date which either purposely or incidentally have saved significant weight but, conversely, two of them actually added significant weight, and both of them related to noise and sound system. While I never bothered to account for the actual...

So far that I have heard of in this forum, 1 w/o and 1 with JB4 installed. Time will tell but I get the impression that it’s more to do with defective/inadequately manufactured axles than anything else.

Judging from the looks of the pictured illustration, it looks good. Not sure though it's wise to begin stocking them w/o knowing the demand for them, price being an important determining factor, but it's certainly your prerogative.

So does this mean we can pre-order? What about pricing? You haven't revealed it yet.

Cool. I haven't tracked mine either. Looking forward to your upcoming visit to Miami. Hopefully you'll make it before my axles break and motor blows up ;)

Maybe a not-so-wild-guess, but wouldn't a source be found in one of the ECU (ECM in Lotus vocabulary) module's harness connectors ?

Really easy, just by opening the App and tapping "Maps" in the lower menu bar and selecting the map you desire. Switches fast as well.

1) What I've found so far is that you don't need the OBD wired connection to change maps via the JB4 App, as this is achievable by the Bluetooth feature of the wireless dongle. I did it myself w/o the connection. What you do need the OBD connection for however, is to get data transmitted to the...

Installed my JB4 today, initially programmed to Map1 (91 octane), took her out for a trial spin, but struggled to notice much of an hp increase at all. I then changed to Map2 (93 octane) and, wow, I immediately and most definitely felt the increase. My Emira has a GRP High-flow Media (blue)...

I haven't discovered any other functionality for it so far and the driver's manual mentions no purpose other than re-setting the servicing cycle.

I'm not really convinced that it does work because 1) the instructions do not refer to a yellow warning triangle rather it refers to a wrench symbol and, 2) there's no way, certainly none that I've discovered so far, to confirm that the service cycle re-set was actually accepted after following...

Update... I went to check on my Emira's rear trunk lid and, while I never really noticed it before, I found that same rubber trim there. Mine is a November 2023 build. Obviously, I don't know how much water seeped through before Lotus place that trim, but in my case, when water accumulates on...

Interesting, but does that simple rubber trim really stop water from dripping in to the engine bay when the lid is opened? Seems like the most it would accomplish is to help guide water to the edges, but perhaps you can share if it has been in fact effective or not. Thanks

I'd prefer aluminum in order to ensure the same texture and color of the OEM.

What's the expected pricing on these?

Whaaat? I placed my order through GRP on May 6th and still waiting on shipping news on mine. I would have thought that Berger would honor ordering queues, particularly when they are bulk orders. Go figure.

Good news. While hoping it will never again be needed, perhaps it would be useful for others going forward if you can post where you purchased and the price of the new axle. Thanks

Florida residents are lucky enough to have access to a wide range of octane levels at the pump. I'm unaware of any "octane-meter" being sold in the retail market making the measurement of octane levels in a tank practically impossible. I've often wondered if the labeled octane shown at the...

Actually, imo the worst part of it is the mismatched color/finish.

No reason that adapter couldn't be copied. Seems less complicated than the knob itself. Unfortunately, Raceseng went out of business.

Here you go....

Not necessarily. I have a Receseng knob and their adapter is adjustable and keeps the knob very firmly in place. No set screw needed.
