I wish there was a local shop in north jersey who can do this work. My lotus dealership will not get involved with any aftermarket parts.

Thank you.....i thought the i4 was electro-hydraulic and V6 was without pump

Sounds simple as that but have had it rebalanced both ny Lotus and my local shop. I was just wondering if it was a byproduct of hydraulic steering, it's an I4. I'll bring to another shop and see how it plays out.

Hey Is anyone experiencing their steering wheel oscillating quickly intermittently? Upon delivery I found the toe and castor off at front left. That was addressed which cured steering wheel alignment. We checked the road force balance on the 2 front tires, L was 30, R was 10. Lotus...

Turbo or V6?

Well then by your logic, 3 things can also be true at the same time for the turbo... 1. Driving experience 2. Emotional connection 3. Achieving performance numbers I experience this everyday... well, mostly late at night!😀

I agree, however, you were very generous there...lol

As an I4 owner, I'm having a bit of trouble with the above logic....Plaid, used Mclarens, etc. over the 100k I4 just because buyer has appetite for a DCT? The absolute only reason to buy the V6 is that you like to row your own gears, that is it! Every other objective measure leans towards the...

Go to local shop.....this fix would only require front wheel alignment, 100 bucks or so. Good luck!

I had same issue upon delivery but wheel had left offset....tracked fine down road. Alignment chk confirmed toe/castor off. Car aligned, wheel perfect. Also, driver front tire confirmed 30 on road force balance. Both alignment and tire covered under warranty.

That's actually great to hear and helps with decision making.

Wheels, tillet, and antigravity.....not sure what else to be had.

Geez, that thing must be nasty.....arguably one of the quickest in the US as of this writing.

Topherdrives just released a dandy!

Are u plugging in the obd?

I was looking hard into that product but decided against it. In order to remove, your car would need a complete wet sand. Not sure I'd trust that but my friend applies it to all his cars.

You're spending too much time on this.....if i offend anyone on this thread, please dm me....

Um?? Point has been made. Personally a dm to the alleged offender would have sufficed as to not drag it out on a thread - reduces the drama.

You've made yourself abundantly clear....now leave it alone

Once broken in do a few WOT in track mode....you'll forget about start up!

Side note, I'm digging your rear wing. Do the laterals need to be drilled along with the central swan neck?

Boy I would sure welcome that practice.....bring more enthusiasts into the fold without fear.....that said, it's all about margins here in the US so that's not going to happen.

I know what you mean.....and I've had that relationship with my bmw dealership but I'm not there with my local lotus service center

That's cool but I'm pretty sure every dealership will tell you how not to get claims rejected....it'll be a resounding " don't move away from oem"

I would hope any tuner, including piggyback developers, would measure injector flow rates....increase boost, increases air which in turn increases the need for more fuel. Not enough fuel causes lean conditions and eventually problems including the fuel pump, quite linear...but you guys prolly...

So you removed the TDI and replaced with JB4? Did you loosen AC compressor belt to get that difficult sensor?

v6 and i4 at your disposal and you don't line them up? I'm not buying it. It's my read they liked the i4 more than expected BUT will lean towards their own book. Always love their perspective but the conflict pops for me.

I get poor reception as well....

That's exactly what's happening....all my M cars did this and my emira every now and then.....at wot the dct on the emira is excellent but any other input it's lazy. Slurs into gears and just not visceral. This car is in dire need of tcm tune.

Could be.....

Looks good but need to make sure moisture doesn't get to it.....I've been down that road.

You can see a bit of the champagne color with the lighting.....photos don't capture how deep and striking this color is in person. That said, surface shaping for this car is the win.

Per TDI instruction they mention loosening the AC compressor to access that sensor.....

Mine does exactly that.....going in next week with a couple of other things

Any issue with R, N, 1 selections?

Either they don't recognize their competition or don't care.....i would expect to pay that for full ecu tune.
