Isn't this the same Evo who's Jethro trashed Lotus and the Emira when he was given a pre-production car to test drive at Anglesey, and compared it to a track prepared Porsche that just happened to be there that same day?

How easy was the access? Did you have to remove the underbody panel?

Soon as I get my unit I'll do a dyno run; same shop as my previous runs.

That looks pretty good.

I have a lot of gold heat reflect foil left on the roll I bought to wrap around the Eventuri connect tube to the supercharger inlet. This issue with the clutch line in the engine compartment sounds like a good place to use some of that foil.

@GRP Any news on JB4 shipments? My order with you is now sitting at 30 days and counting.

You could check the connection to make sure the connector is plugged in correctly. Check the hose lines; check to see if there are any air bubbles in the line between the fluid reservoir and the pump. Is your dealer close? If everything is connected and looks okay, it might be a bad pump...

Is it making any sound? Do the wipers work? If nothing is happening at all, might be a fuse.

Maybe they should look into making the Emira Flex Fuel compatible. More power, less emissions. The mileage goes down, but the offset is E85 is a lot cheaper than gas. It also runs cooler in an engine tuned for it. I've been researching and reading up on it, and I think I'm going to...

Trump?? The entire EV thing was already collapsing before the election even happened. He had nothing to do with that. It was collapsing because of simple economics; EV's were too expensive, brutally expensive to repair, the cost of battery replacements were insane, people were discovering...

Clutch failures and power steering failures are a supplier issue, not a Lotus is screwing up failure. They DID use well-known and working components and sub-assemblies, or they thought they were. All those decisions and contracts with suppliers were made before Covid and everything that...

That's an old photo from April 2022 of prototype cars. Those wheels were just ones they had at the factory that were used to move the cars around.

"somehow riddled"? New manufacturing system, new paint system, new body panels with a new process, new electronics with new features never before on a Lotus, new more sophisticated and complex electronics, new and much stiffer regulations and requirements no Lotus has ever had to meet...

I don't know about this... on the one hand, I can understand the desire to get around tariffs, plus the cost of shipping cars across the ocean to the U.S., but to completely abandon Hethel? Part of the appeal of Lotus as an exotic brand is because it ISN'T made in the U.S. No matter what Chevy...

Just waiting for @GRP to ship my unit.
