    Wheel arch fasteners that don't connect to anything?

    I noticed the same thing on 2 of them i think on the rears (both sides) when i took the bumper off. Didnt make sense to me...but Lotus.

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    My GR86 had these stupid fake sounds. There was a separate module for it that was easy to unplug. I did the day after I got it home. The dealer could also turn it off in their software. Disappointing to hear Lotus is doing this.

    Where do you put your keys

    My pocket. Never had an issue with proximity even in left pocket.

    2nd check engine light in less than 500 miles

    Reread this and noticed this. I didnt think there was a low oil warning light on the V6 (should be one). I know the AMG has a elec dipstick so should have one..edit: it comes up as a message warning on the AMG. The manual says there is only a low oil pressure warning but no level warning. (v6)...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Been 1 year ago today (Pretty sure) since the US dealers were told they could sell the cars..after a long CARB wait. I got mine a year ago on March 6th. Just rolled over 3k miles Saturday. Only (1 temporary ESC limp mode) quirk in first year.

    Hill Hold Assist - Is Mine Working?

    I think that is an automatic car in manual mode in 3rd gear. I had to go check. Never noticed that light on my manual car.

    Hill Hold Assist - Is Mine Working?

    Mine sometimes works and sometimes doesnt backing into the garage with a slight incline. Its random. Not sure on steeper inclines as it also seems intermittent. There is no light (on the manual v6) that comes on like in other cars to say its working/active. I dont believe you can turn it off or...

    Cabin Air & Car Play Questions

    On #2. I've had a '23 GR86 and have a 24 Tacoma. Car play works whether the car is moving or not. Never heard of that. #1. Pretty sure neither had that issue either. The Emira CarPlay is not locked out if the car is moving or any mode once its working.

    Removal of lower rear bumper only

    It is not possible to swap the exhaust tips ( i did it and looked for a work around) without full bumper removal. The problem is the crash pad foam under the bumper which covers several items for the tips. Its really not a bad job to do just idiotic Lotus designed the tips that way. See...

    3.5 V6 oil leak -- help?

    Are those pics before you did the oil filter change? Was there any drips on the ground to indicate any drips? I had oil on the bottom of my filter like that after the filter change but it is because i lubed the o-ring seal too well it weaped down to the bottom like that but went away after...

    First impression of my i4 from a current V6 manual owner

    So you're planning to keep both of them?

    Altura vs Emira (Just the looks)

    Have always been a fan and lusted after the 12C, P1 and now the 720/750s. The ownership costs have deterred that on used ones I could afford. The Artura is nice looking but I think the Emira actually looks better except maybe the back. And the cool doors of course.

    Driving shoes

    Seeing this thread reminded me I got some new shoes to try. I got them (I think $25) on flash Christmas sale on Amazon. I wear a 13 so find normal shoes a bit wide to wear as I'm hitting the gas accidently when braking. These are maybe 1/4 inch narrower than the Chuck Taylors I had been...

    Rubber door grommets?

    I think you have it backwards. Crestima said his build was 11/23 and mine is 12/23. I think the holes like mine are there on newer ones. Water definitely runs out of there after washing the car and someone else had video of it. If someone with a much newer build could look that would help...
