The mirror vibration is normal if you have the bass up. washers are not great. I'd call thata normal, but certianly fine enough for usage. Yours might need to be reaimed up, or use them at a slower speed. I actually prefer when they shoot low so it doesnt go all over the paint at low speeds. I...

Go to another dealer ya'll. The OEM parts to do the oil change were about $80 for me.

As per Lotus corporate, there is no run in procedure - this is what my dealer told me about a year ago. I pretty much did what is above anyway though, and oil at 2.5 and 5K miles.

I've used this stuff since 2018 on my zl1 wheel and knob, along with a brush and it works well...

In my garage, for whatever reason, my verdant is blue. Love the hypercolorness of it

ok cool, let us know. I guess with no gate design on top, its ok if its spins a little over time.

Do those helicoils hold the knob well? No spin?

I have a nice lathe and could try this.. PM me your budget and I'll see if the radius ball turning attachment tooling I need and my time would make a good match. :) Looks like the attachment can do a 2" max diameter.

wk cool. which thread?

@Eagle7 did you ever make the wooden knob? I could make that, but I'd need a radius cutter.. What dimensions are the stalk and set screw? I'm guessing its a M9 or M10, and maybe a M4 for the set screw.

Word of warning.... at the spray booth, DO NOT USE the pink tri foam stuff on your wheels. It stained my yellow calipers and it was a pita to remove. :)

Thank God.

start moisturizing to slow it down. Evaluate how you get in and out and try not to hit the bolster as much. Also, look at your pants for anything that may dig in.

I dont know, feels like an internal amp issue, or maybe some pump is firing off and its causing the pop. Its a pretty common problem with car audio systems and associated equipment that dont have good grounds. I'm not going off of any real data here, just experience and guessing. Because its...

I get these also at stop lights.. I think its a ground issue in the amp - likely not solvable. Fortunately, its not that annoying. :)

Its probably not the sub, but the interior pressure vent. Its a little pressure active door just behind the subwoofer (pass side) and when you open the door quickly, it can swing the door up and when pressure equalizes, the door slams down. There is nothing wrong with the car, its just a.. thing.

Thanks for the recommendations.. I didnt really consider NJ, because... NJ. So they actually service the Lotus in the Volvo bays? I looked on google maps and the building just looks like a sales office. ps - I'm not looking to buy a car.. just service. I bought two already. :)

I am essentially equidistant from boston, NYC and CT. Do you have a favorite dealer in these areas for service?

I'm sorry if this offends, but if you are impressed with our KEF, or any KEF actually, and modern light processing as with our Emira, you really need to listen to more systems - home or auto. The Emira system really doesn't do anything particularly well, and the reason so many folks complain...

I used to compete in car audio and I think your installer is likely taking the right approach. The amp in this car is clearly pretty "sub" par and a good amp can make a crappy speaker sound pretty good, so that should really help. When looking at amps, choose one that tends to be on the "warmer"...

Have black wheels, want diamond. No miles.

I saw that but $13 ship to me.. so almost 2x as much in the end..

20% for memorial day and free ship - I just stocked up on oil and the filter.. pretty cheap! I dont think they sell the crush washer aka sump gasket though...

Does anyone have the part # for the Emira oil drain plug crush washer (aka "sump gasket")? I looked through the service manual and didnt see a part #.

mc20 vibe too?

Is he making you a LHD set? Maybe we can get a group buy together?!

They were price gouging orphaned cars. Slimy.

What you're feeling is called tramlining, and because the lotus is light and quick steering, its pretty noticeable.

I cant tell a difference sport to track either. :)

Hold it halfway open, then persuade it down firmly - more on the slam side than the gentle side.

Holman Motorcars is the same dealer that was charging $10K over on their Emiras. They're f'in crooks, avoid.

looks cool

Its normal and takes getting used to. Mine softened up a hair at 1100 miles.

I think it was Colin's girlfriend's favorite flower or something. :)

What did you paint your knob with? Any more pics?

Was a good time, thanks! I'll try to hop on the next one too. Thanks Jason.

1100 miles, no issues. Lovely car.

Much appreciated, please do!

its more painful than that with the side moldings and cover. :) Getting the door molding back on and over that cover is a pita.

Mine clearly is on the higher side of the spec, if there is one. The fore aft play is such that I constantly need to make sure its in gear and when I shift, I have to take up the play before the shifter actually shifts.. Its just distracting. I can see the adjustment on the cables through the...
