    i4 wih 400HP - post from another Lotus Forum

    Only that it will occur after the I-4 First Edition submissions. So, assumed after July and August I4 Turbo First Edition allocations close.

    I did get a call yesterday that First Edition I-4's are bumped to 400hp. Can't attest to Toyota stopping making the v6.

    Is anyone being told that Lotus is not allowing outside financing?

    Lotus themselves are not regulating how you purchase the vehicle. Outside financing not being "allowed" is the dealer because their F&I guy and/or the dealer want their banks kickback or have a monthly minimum financed number to hit to keep the bank on with them. Financing with the dealer is...

    Does the car scrape easily?

    IMO - I would keep it the way it is. It was designed at this height to make it more daily-able. I find that it is very nice to not have to scrunch-up as I feel the cars pain pulling in and out of areas. Most exotics and prior generation Loti, we would have to drive around the lot to the back...

    What can I do about Tiny Pedals, Huge Blind Spot and Touchy Brakes?

    I found that shoes with smaller soles works best. I have specific boots I wear to make driving stick easy (rockport storm). Although I use these for my other manual cars too. I have a size 11.5 shoe for reference. You will get used to the brakes, they are touchy at first but when you go from...

    Intermittent failure to start

    It is a passive theft deterrent system. If you take "too long" between unlocking and starting than it will neutralize the turnover ability. The time is about a minute. Even the Evora's were like this. It is a pet peeve of mine, but I've learned my way around it.

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    I don't think PPF is absolutely necessary to do unless you are racing it. A ceramic coating I believe is a must though. We even do the wheels with ceramic graphene, although the wheels don't get the warranty aspect of it. Lotus New London Offers PPF installation and/or Simonize Glasscoat...

    USA CARB stickers available now so Emiras should get delivered soon

    They said that they "expected" to have it by the end of January. But now they have an actual date range for inspection, given to them by the Fed. I just hope that once it is inspected it is an immediate sign-off for it, as they (Lotus) has implied.

    You are all very welcome! I will try my best to keep everyone informed as we go too. My goal is to take Lotus New London from a small time shop to the best Lotus Dealer we can be. I saw a gap in Lotus USA communication and hoped to be able to at fill it a bit, at least for one forum. Too bad...

    USA CARB stickers available now so Emiras should get delivered soon

    I am taking it as a positive! Essentially, we have a concrete set of dates, from the fed, for the timeline of when they will officially sign-off on it. We have something solid to stand on, instead of the over promising and under delivering that Lotus has been known for lately. This news makes...
