TE37 20x9.5, weighs 22 lbs, according to Showstoppers USA. TE37 Saga (18x9.5 +38): 19 lbs For one of the industries lightest wheels in its given sizes. Weight drop to 18s is an advantage. Tire selection will be the biggest advantage though. Go look it up for yourself. Michelin Pilot Sport 4...

No, a drop in weight from a 20 to an 18 is like. 4 lbs. You are still dropping 3lbs and that's over an identical design, comparing an 18 aftermarket light wheel to a stock 20 inch? you are going to be dropping like 8lbs or more per wheel. 1 MAYBE 2 LBs of tire weight isn't making that a bad...

No i don't believe VF re-posted his concerns about how JB4 works or does not work anywhere else. I agree I think it is fair discussion but not in the vendors thread about the product (if its not something the self volunteer or are just responding to inquires rather than stated presumptions or...

I think he meant "I Wish Lotus Offered"

RB 26 found in AWD GTRs also has a shaft going through the oilpan.

I wouldn't be overly concerned about that. those bubbles are unlikely to migrate around the lip, and its probably just poor paint prep in that area. which..makes some sense.

Yes it's just friction clipped in place. Start at the top near the roof and find an edge (pry tools if you must but I just used fingers) work an edge and just pull up gently and it will come surprisingly easy.

I made mistakes and thought I was lined up on the front bolt while threading it in, and got frustrated with the bracket flopping around, so removed the rear bolt. Only to hear a thunk as the bracket settled and moved. I struggled, tried to manipulate the trunk-lid to re-align. Ended up popping...

We know an Emira R or Emira GT or S or whatever they would call it is challenged. EU7 Regulations means there is no "tuned up" version of either the V6 or i4. That would leave the Emira enhancements solely based on weight, aero, suspension, brakes. Until such time as they get a new engine...

Y'all be careful with VP stuff. Make sure you are looking at the materials information. A lot of their stuff is leaded to achieve the higher octane ratings.

Unrelated note. What's your will look like :whistle:

Very curious to see! I understand if you are going to be tight lipped about it until product release, but good to know it was a consideration.

Seems like with the two bolt points (the seatbelts) there is a possibility under some kind of load (hardnesses yanking forward) that the bar would rotate, possibly up or down. I appreciate that the bar is tucked behind the seats far enough not to interfere, and also without any interference with...

Well, probably don't close the factory that was built to handle a volume of 150,000 cars

I feel like Draggy runs is going to be such a bad way to identify the improvements. It's so highly variable on driver, conditions, etc. Are you really going to be satisfied with seeing a 0.2 second improvement on 0-60 when a completely stock 0-60 is variable within that range and beyond to begin...

The blower isn't really struggling to pull air all that much, some, which is why better/more flow filters help, but there's a limit. Increasing to a 4inch or larger filter and intake tube for instance may not help because it's all still being sucked in through the same throttle body and...

Burger isn't a tune though. That's the issue. All they have done is "fib" about select sensor input to the ECU. The ECU is doing all the rest of the work. I think from Burgers perspective it's "ok" to run on more aggressive maps even if you don't have the fuel type to support it because the...

Also worth mentioning. Conditions when an ICE would or could catch fire are rational and reasonable situations that are well understood. It's an old car with no maintenance, therefore a fuel line split open, therefore fire. It's a heavily modified car therefore more heat, something not routed...

Yeah but what if you already own facilities and people. Ones who aren't building as many cars as you had hoped because the side brand attached to Volvo didn't catch? Do you let that facility sit empty, or do you start adding more models. Change P***star to "Geely general properties" and start...

You responded to me, you go Reread MY post. I specifically say that people will always care about specific models, where they are built, what factories, etc. BMW i3 vs M3. Nissan Versa vs Nissan GT-R. The prior in these cases no one cares where they are built unlike the later You did not...

The hell you mean? The GT-R is now out of production, but was literally only built in Japan. There were no US Assembly plants, no Euro ones. Engines hand built by like 5 different dudes. Pretty explicitly only built in Japan. BMW M3 Build pretty much exclusively in Munich. Now that they are...

Also Also. BOE in their own product description effectively admit that this part is equivalent to the Evora 400 and beyond cars come with a engine panel that does what they are selling. It's just that it can cause contact with aftermarket headers (which were likely designed before such trays...

It's BOE's undertray (Not Greg's part, he just sells). I'm not sure I understand what you mean. There's a front gridded opening to the undertray to try to 'scoop' air up under the engine bay and throw cold air over the exhaust and other parts of the engine that hang low. There are no...

Yeah I just think you are wrong. The two fords are built by Multimatic, which is a race shop that Ford is partnering with. Obviously there's a lot of pieces Ford supplies but its no different than the Shelby cars of old. Ford supplies parts, Shelby no-where in sight of a Ford factory puts them...

Yes it's just a vinyl application. Fair warning over time it will get dust stuck to the edges etc. There is a 'carbon fiber' version of the same thing as well. (obviously not as thin as vinyl but i believe just double sided taped on)

Lotus gonna have to change all those Union Jacks.

Keep in mind, the Emira has more cooling integrated into the stock undertray than the Evora had. I'm not sure if a revised cooling tray would improve engine bay temps.

I mean, hate to be a bearer of bad news, but if external temps are 45c intake temps are going to be higher than that. It's going to be awful for oxygen density. I think there's a good chance your car is operating at the edges of functional range. I'm certainly not your engine tuner, and I'm...

Given this is a feedback thread, can you be more specific? I don't know if you stated somewhere else what you were not happy with. But just saying your experience was bad and you are maybe going to sell doesn't really say what was bad and why.

You have docs to back up that this is specifically the changes that were made? Specifically, a different thermostat and a change to the coolant routing to reduce the function of the charge air cooler to isolate to just that job?

The word Ferrari also doesn't appear on the Ferrari F1 Cars (though the prancing horse crest does), and nor does McLaren on either the current or the Prost/Senna nor later Vodafone cars. I don't think its unusual. The constructor leaves their mark via the overall livery and car design. Every...

I don't think there is any chance Map 2 works on 91. I am doubtful about 92

I think you are missing the fact that Lotus doesn't have a published wiring diagram. Not in any of the paid manuals or nothing. You could spend time a reverse engineer it, but it's not going to be pretty or easy.

What does Musk have to say about resale of his cars and about trade-in values, or experiences in delays getting cars repaired? Or lets be honest, anyone who is just critical of the cars today? Not saying they don't seek improvements, but at times it seems improvements come despite of him not...

It did not work well. I picked up a Bambu I should give it another try. The thread pitch didn't work with the stock filler despite measuring. Good call... Let's see what I can run up with the new printer

Faster to what end? If performance is measured against yourself why does a DCT pulling times that are 1+ second faster matter? If you are class racing maybe, though even then in a lot of racing there are intentional things to raise the skill floor. (No Traction, no Stability control, no ABS...

There's supposed to be a new Toyota 4cly on the block. I doubt they'll move to carbon tub manufacturing. They just trained up and increased production capabilities for more Extruded bonded Aluminum chassis the investments, process changes, testing and development required to build a carbon tub...

I think a number like "1,000 hp" only makes sense if its another EV. But regardless, Lotus is not generally in the business of making extreme hyper cars. The Evija rubbed me the wrong way at its first announcement because it was like Lotus had given up any notion of the brand heritage and were...
