Hey Rupes, if you are also planning on doing a 3rd cat delete, def. the kind of shop that you can trust to do that kind of work. Let us know how you get on with it.

I can recommend 714Technik: https://www.714technikpdx.com/ Mike (the shop owner) did my 'break in' oil change. I bring the wife's Macan S to them as well. They also do a lot of performance tuning on other high end cars. They are on the NE side, but easy to get to.

For those in the PDX area wondering about oil change service, etc. I'd posted some shops that I was going to check into for my 1000 break in Oil change. Settled on this shop in the NE... https://www.714technikpdx.com/ Mike, the owner and lead tech, is a super skilled and passionate guy...

I bought a K&N but haven't had it installed yet, was planning on doing that at 1000 miles along with an oil change... I'd not heard of these causing issues in the past, although I've never bothered with doing it in any of my previous cars so I hadn't really looked into it. Having read this...

So if we have the lotus trickle charger, it should have similar permanent connectors and the Adapter you mention is all you'd need? Haven't even opened the box yet, since its still nice weather and I'm driving the car every few days.

Also went with the Raceseng knob... Nicely weighted, really feels nice in the hand, and I think looks nicer than the OEM knob (also without that hole in the front!)

A+ for effort on this one :p

I'll spare everyone the details on my car's damage from either Port/Transport/Dealer, but as it gets sorted, I'm hoping to have the car end of this week. @Pdxem1ra, how was King's Cross?

Yup. Mine was on that boat. Got to Bellevue 6/28. Still don’t have the car though, dealer found several scratches in the deck lid. Now waiting for Lotus to approve them trying to polish them out. GD nightmare of an order process at this point.

That is correct... you are extending it by 5 years... or 44K miles beyond the factory 36K

Yeah, I'm gonna skip it, and see how many issues I may (or may not) have in the first 2 years. Not financing it so can't ask a credit union, but that's good advice for someone who may be in a similar boat...

to get to 8 years, i'd have to buy the 8 years (since the first 3 are concurrent with factory) at a cost of 10K.... hmmm

no, its Fidelity Platinum, which appears to be through dealers only, and mimics our "bumper to bumper", no wear items, etc... Seems I'd be better off deciding to buy an extended warranty maybe closer to the 3 years running out from a 3rd party?

Well... I'm 12 days away from hitting the 3 year mark, but my car is FINALLY at the dealership! Which brings up the question of extended warranty... Dealer is offering one, but it runs CONCURRENTLY with the factory warranty... So a 5 year extended warranty is actually only cover the car 2 years...
