I sold the car before getting that far into it.

I have had years to think through this issue and towards the end of my ownership, it was often shuddering and vibrating on clutch release in first gear to a point that I could not take off smoothly. I did have to apply more throttle and earlier to try to eliviate it. It came and went seemingly...

^Yup. Same here

I don't know....sounds like a recipe for a quick, copramised, half ass factory retrofit job. Maybe some oems can do it. I doubt Lotus can do it properly.

Yea, the stock exhaust does sound good. No comparison to the ATS-V. Hard to justify 3k+ for a little more sound.

A red Uchida permanent fabric marker, but there are many others brands out there. The beauty is that you don't have to be careful when applying. It doesn't stick to leather. Just wipe off any overrun and the color on the stich remains.

A few examples. Haven't finished all the stiching yet. It takes a bit of time.

You think that's nuts......I swapped out my upgraded black rear seats and door cards for sky cool gray. Also colored all white stiching red for continuity. So now I have black front seats and everything else scg. I dig it. Probably better that way as the fronts get the most use and wear. If...

I spent a lot of time looking into this question. Tried multiple upholsterung places. None were very interested as they didn't think they could do it well without removing and replacing. The only quote I managed to get was $1k. I also tried it myself on samples with a brush and with a dye...

The oem exhaust. Or the AWE. I dont like any others.

I think they have the tips set at slightly different elevations by intent.

Allows them to sell and ship a system that can be installed without welding.

I got it. I put the clips and the weather seal on first, aligned them with trim grooves, put the trim on and pushed in. This is opposite of the service manual instructions, which I would not get to work.

I needed to replace an interior door panel on my CT4BW and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to put the rear door panel back in. The top weather strip is in the way and wouldn't seat properly no matter what I do. There has got to be a trick to this. Any tips would be MUCH appreciated...

You guys do know that people seek out ethanol because it makes a ton more power because it effectively bumps up your octane and resists detonation? People run full E85 in these cars and as long as its not in the winter and they don't let it sit it generally is ok. There are a few quirks and I...

Why would you want to do that? 91 is the minimum specified. Sure it will run it, but may be rewarding timing to keep knock under control.

The tips grew on me as well. A bit too much but I can live with it. It sounds good. No obnoxious rasp. Yes, a bit on the quite side but I doubt you can make it louder without the rasp. That engine just doesn't sound good unmuffled. Do you get the CEL on the valves?

The 4 goes a bit overboard with the color in the seats. I like the more toned down looks of the 5 seats better.

Same here. But parts availability was starting to become a problem.

Don't need a ring if the OD of the spacer step (whatever that is called) matches the ID of the wheel center bore.
