Broken Axle? GI in built axles and how common this issue actually is.

I think he meant "I Wish Lotus Offered"

Is this a dealer installed package because I never heard of Lotus offering such a thing

Yeah, sorry, typo. "I wish" they offered something like that!

Hi guys,

I've become aware of breaking axles as a recurring issue with the Emira through the Lotus discord that Porter and KitKat setup. I wanted to get a pulse check on how many people have actually seen this issue happen, and how many people would be interested in custom built axles that will handle 800ft lbs or torque or so without paying the $7k + tax and shipping JUBU price point.

I have made some for my Evora (with a DCT), but can use this as a basis for the Emira. These use custom stub hubs, custom intermediate shaft, carrier bearing, and axle half shafts. Lightened GNK CV joints with chromoly cages, etc. Price point would potentially be around $4k at cost, I'm not looking to make a profit, be a vendor, etc.
