Some patterns are better than others. I would ask your installer about this if they adjust anything on the template

but your exhaust is out in the open. What I was trying to convey is that on the i4, airflow seems limited in the area where the exhaust sits and is exposed to more excess heat.

No idea where they are manufactured, just pulled it from this article https://www.compositesworld.com/news/teijin-automotive-technologies-supplies-exterior-body-panels-to-lotus-emira The panels are basically fiberglass, if people think it’s a moisture issue, it can’t be too hard to strip the...

If lotus’s goal is to grow big then I hate to say it, they need to be making a Macan or Audi Q3/Q5 competitor. Their current EV suv does not look good, it’s like their aim was for a radical design like Lamborghini without the brand recognition. If they want to stay boutique, then they need to...

Curious if you see the primer underneath or all the way to the composite. Read an article that said teijin provides lotus with conductive primered doors. Someone needs to go to Portugal teijin factory and watch them make a door 😂

I will most likely go with stainless steel because the venting on the Emira exhaust area seems lacking so heat cycling a titanium exhaust too much will make the metal brittle. Wish someone made inconel exhausts

in Dallas, well currently out of the country but will be back soon to finish break in and ppf wrap.

Mach5 is willing to ship to USA. You can contact them on WeChat or via email: info@mach5performance.com. WeChat, add 13122650609 I received my cold side intercooler pipe and will receive my intercooler soon. Looks like snowtech is rebranding the intercooler pipe and possibly the intercooler...

You mean these...

The US spec listed they added tweeters into the currently empty a-pillars Anyway, OP, if it was me, I’d order the 2026. Especially if you also wanted the driver aids. It sort of can justify the price increase in my mind.

Let me ask the mach5 guy if they can arrange shipment to the US

Paid and anticipating the day I come back to the states

@Kaz Got a reply from crracingengineering and they are charging 2430 but they also said they’re not sure if the lines will fit lotus as they modified the coolant line locations…

Pretty! Can’t wait to come back and get mine

I’m still in Taiwan and my car is in the US. Haven’t even broken it in yet, I still have 800 miles to go 🥲. Just collecting parts for now.

Looks like the c43s amg is also the m139, but not finding much aftermarket support. Man Mercedes usage of engines and their naming is just too confusing to follow… used to just be amg = v8 now it’s all over the place.

Looks like the m139 is different in the new c63 according to these pictures. Maybe that’s why and I don’t think the us sells the A45s amg. Oops I’m mistaken, the CLA 45s AMG uses the engine

From info I found online, they seem to charge 2700 If it’s 1500, that would be pretty good as that’s what I paid for my top mount intercooler in the f80 m3 days

The environment to ship anything to the US is difficult currently. I’m even afraid that the downpipe and intercooler I’m bringing back will be subjected to the 25% car parts tariff when I land and go through customs which imo is bs since these are for personal use but I just can’t find anything...

Nice! too bad you couldn’t join them. Any feedback on the parts he installed? I’ll need to visit y’all again (had to delay my return to the US because of family stuff)

I do not know. The parts are basically for the A45s amg. You might have luck searching for that. Make sure it’s the S version and not the regular A45. Also from my understanding, its a factory in 江门 that manufacturers all of these parts and from my research they seem to be the OEM supplier of...

I never got the chance to hear @675430VME car with the jb4 but I can attest that the Mach 5 downpipe paired with his (I think is a custom) SS exhaust sounds extremely good for an i4. So much so that I also bought the downpipe.

I bought this which is the charge pipe post intercooler.

I do plan to install meth and was planning to inject pre and post intercooler, post for the cleaning benefits and pre for the iat sensor on the intercooler itself I do plan to install meth and was planning to inject pre and post intercooler, post for the cleaning benefits and affect the sensor...

I was talking to mach5, which makes the downpipe that a lot of people in Asia use for their emiras and they said they could ship me the Snowtech intercooler when I’m back in the states but I would have to deal with customs and they weren’t sure how much customs would charge. In the meantime I...

Wait I thought this was post intercooler?

Where are you injecting and what adapter or product did you buy and also will this be pre or post intercooler injection?

I’ll still buy, will still need delivery to be delayed until end of August.

Is that black stitching?

Awesome, in for a complete set then

Is it possible to delay shipment? I’m not back to the US until the end of August

Driving experience is subjective. I chose the turbo because hearing the turbo sound with the window down makes me feel giddy, more so than a supercharged engine. Plus I was always gonna choose an auto and the DCT is better than a torque converter imo. Secondary to this, is the potential tuning...

Whoa that’s pretty cool. Is it assumed all processors have jtag traces and you just have to find the trace? Also how do you get past encryption of the jtag interface. I assume this is the trade secret part lol

This is pretty cool, I’m always curious how people hack hardware encryption but i know it’s trade secret so no hope in y’all revealing the secrets.

I mean they are posting in the 3.5L engine forum so I assume all news would be for that but yea it’s not easily seen which sub forum you’re in when you come from the home page

They should pivot to this new Toyota 4 cylinder https://www.motor1.com/news/764042/toyota-new-four-cylinder-engine-600-horsepower/

They sell snowtech products. They said their downpipe and snowtech products all come from the same factory lol. They offer an after charge cooler charge pipe with methanol/water injection bungs. Not sure if it’s better to inject before or after the charge cooler.

lol of course Ferrari style wheels look good on the Emira. I was trying to pinpoint where I’ve seen this style haha.

Oh my bad, thought it was a lotus lock they put on both engines.
