If anyone’s having a problem ping me a mail and I’ll get you the replacement filter type sent out which should fix the problem

Get some track time booked in soon

@PJ you would get an EML light, then OBD would provide the detail of the error, if you dont have an EML you dont have a problem. This is a minority problem which seems to only effect a very small number of people (6 out of 80) who seem to have a specific map that doesn't like the ITG so the recommendation is to change the filter (which I supply free of charge in these situations).

@notabene as per our messages some time back. I believe based on the map you have from Lotus (there are many many variation of maps on the V6S), it would seem it doesn't like the ITG. I've had a similar problem with a minority of folks who have bought the intake circa 6 people out of around 80 kits sold. We have a second filter type which is less enthusiastic lets say than the ITG, I've found this generally resolves the problem, the replacement filter is a free of charge replacement. Ping me if you'd like me to send you one

I’ve opened another pre order of intakes, I’ll be limiting this batch to just five as it makes the production cycle easier for everyone. Thanks guys for the continued support.

Seems as though it is becoming worse than flu. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/28/coronavirus-truth-myths-flu-covid-19-face-masks

Sorry @Team Lotus I don't have any pics but it is possible.

@Team Lotus have you considered one of the quiet track exhausts? In terms of the LSD it doesn't have to be an engine out... there's a way to make it work with the engine in situ and without removing rear clam. However its still a pretty meaty job.

Or learn to H&T 😄

If you want a big power step such as over 420bhp etc then id suggest charge cooled if doing a decent number of track days. Komotec for sure being my recommendation as its a complete solution vs Harrop which still includes the choking cats in the manifolds.

@TerryCTR Tillett are a straight fit, like @GFWilliams alluded, I have my seat far far forward due to be height which is where you get some of the issues. But generally for most folks not a problem.

Another late night but finally got there and whoop whoop I've definitely fallen for the new interior, what with the carbon sills, tillet, and dash trim its all just looking rather nice! I managed to sort the carbon sills with a good fit, basically needed foam padding underneath to help with the alignment to the side dash bits. Will get the sills polished by my detailer and PPF'd in time. Next up was seats and finishing the 350 Sport console - All of this has been more work than you could ever believe! First, I had to Dremel my old gear console to re-use the hand brake (basically cut my old one in half) and retro fit. Then because of my height, my tillett caught the 350 console surround so the tillett had one side shaved back (yes I cut a £2K carbon seat seat!). The keen eyed amongst you will see my steering wheel cowl is also back which again has been re-modelled and the bottom cut out all to help ensure no obstructions for heel and toe on track. Will be testing today but hopefully enough freedom for my short ass legs now. Just need to find a nice trim to cover the cut in the tillett and fix the 350 sport hazard light mount which doesn't like the older V6S hazard light.

Thank You! Yes I’ll be looking to supply them to folks but will make them to order which will take about seven working days to make.

With the test carpet proving to fit nicely, I went the whole hog, and got a set made up in nice thick carpet. Its somewhat frustrating having to remove the interior to then re-fit but definitely worth it! The new carpet thickness is much better and really adds a bit of luxury to the car. At midnight last night (after kids in bed, food, and finishing up work) I managed to get the full carpet set installed and start to retro fit my old handbrake console to the new 350 gear surround (involving lots and lots of dremeling!). Tonight I'll start the re-install of seats and if time allows the new battery I can highly recommend a move to carpet, completely changes the look and feel of the car!

Thanks @Cooper will add to my list of to do's

Looks a fab idea ... can you explain where exactly they mount?

Hi unfortunately we sold out today... will look towards another pre order for a new batch when I get time. Ping me a message with your email and I’ll let you know when I do as they go quick! Thanks

@Jeroenvg have you done the gear learning thing yet?

@Mike430 not at this time as its a completely different design. However it is in the plan for 2020 at some point.

I hear on the grapevine that its not one colour but two? 🤔

Yes I did it works well no issues I think a fair point, there wasn’t enough room in the gap (if that makes sense) to turn the material in and ensure the buttons had the room to function without restriction. That said maybe a pattern could be made to expose the buttons more but it just becomes complicated and tbf I was more than ok to just get it trimmed. 100% agree the carbon dipped version @Mark030358 has done just looks amazing ... keen to hear his feedback when he gets back on the buttons post dip. I just personally didn’t want to risk it and I’ve always wanted the binnacle trimmed alongside the dash vents and sides etc.

Can you confirm the offset on the BC?

@Seriouslylotus I need to sort either resistors or deselect in Lotus Tech just haven’t had time to turn it off. @Jeroenvg I was driving in either race or full traction off mode (can’t remember) but everything very normal.

Out and about with the new re trim

Bloody lovely @MAG I think you’ve fitted yours better than I have looking at that line at the top and alignment to the sill! Good job!!!! So happy they’ve worked out for you especially given the effort to make these just right and they definitely look right on your car with the growing number of carbon additions! As per the instructions you’ve got to get a ‘feel’ for offering them up and aligning to get it spot on and right for the adhesive part!
