I love this, but even if you don't, this sets the standard for a How-to. Well done good sir!

You sir, learned the wrong lesson from that mistake. :unsure:

I asked on the tour and the guide specifically went and found me the answer, which was no. It appears the ride height difference is just due to slightly different tire sizes (advertised tire sizes are rounded off). Remember that Lotus is setting these cars up for safe handling and fuel...

I rock the iphone Seniors Edition, but I'd rather future proof it with the stronger charger if there is no downside.

Here is an old autocross trick to find your track tire pressures: There are small triangles around the outside edge of the tread that point to the wear bars. They are also conveniently located at the seam between the tread and sidewall. Rub some chalk along the shoulder of each tire in several...

Yeah I’d like to throw my name in for the next batch too

AHHHH plans ruined! Good to know before I pulled it all apart.

Great to know that the stock height is adjustable! Just so everyone is clear, 10mm change on the shock is more that 10mm at the wheel. You would need to measure the lower control arm and do the ratio to get the exact change. That ride height looks so much better though, like it looks in the...

I think nimbus is beautiful if you want an understated car. It is not a typical silver. It will also hide dirt and scratches the best.

I actually chose Atlantis! I thought it was a good balance between practical and sporty.

As stated above that is how they are balanced. Instead of adding weights like a wheel, metal is ground off.

Mine has arrived, 3 weeks from port to dealer and then they say another couple weeks before its ready to pick up

So what your saying is, it doesn't just look like a supercar, it also costs supercar money and Lotus just subsidized it for me? 😬 From my observation. Lotus doesn't seem to care about profitability. They are running 4 shifts a WEEK at the factory, and have no interest in high margin options...

The deductible is 10%? Ten thousand dollars of damage before it pays anything!!? No, that is just a straight ripoff. The risk/reward is not balanced. That is nearly a years worth of insurance cost to cover one hour on track. Take that money and put it in a jar for track damage and you will be...

One of the reasons timing is strictly prohibited at HPDE events is to keep it "non-competitive" which in theory keeps your insurance coverage. You may end up paying a lawyer to argue that for you. Good luck even getting the full fine print of your actual coverage. I have asked for it many...
