I've downloaded @CocoPops settings from the Alpine ap. Hopefully that will clear it up as I bought the car from him!

I've done this and had the same result. But mine has a sub-woofer fitted, according to the certificate of conformity and everything. So I guess its there - my ear isn't good enough to tell

Drive by too. My 400 with a quieter exhaust than OE hit 96db on the driveby a couple of months ago - black flagged at lunch and couldn't get back on with additional cans after the static test was louder than I did in the morning. Limit is 92db...

Anyone bought the blue interior'd 410 yet?!

Thanks @Bibs There's a remote control sensor - who knew! I want to try to update the firmware as well

That seems an odd place for it! Thanks I will take a look

Can someone advise where the factory reset button can be found? My ipod connection/USB has frozen while disconnecting and the only solution I can think of is the IT classic 'turn it off and on'...

That's a US website you have linked to, you might have better luck on the US lotus forum. 400s have only just started coming out of warranty and that's a big job for minimum returns compared to remapping or similar.

And again...

458 is my medium term fantasy. I'm very very happy with the 400.

I like it on the elise... 105k. Coincidentally, I went to a ferrari dealer yesterday. Research purposes only of course. A 458 could be had for only a little bit more... Appreciate its the same old new v used choice

Woah. That will still be for sale in a few months...

Just chuck a tub of primer over it?

@Bibs style

Mine is on its second badge (per @CocoPops) which has started flaking away again. Still in warranty, so there's another claim going in!

Mine's not for sale Andy, sorry! Man maths might get me into trouble shortly. I miss my fiesta ST a lot...

My 16 plate 400 is not in the highest tax bracket - just renewed it at £300 for the year. Unlike my older V6 exige, which was almost double that. Man maths ahoy Andy, time to make the change. You know it makes sense.

Sunday was a lovely day for swimming... before the black flag

Jesus, you guys are old. I was doing a shed load of trackdays back in 2010/11, my wife announced she was pregnant with our first and I promptly realised it was then or never for the Exige - there were normally a few on most the trackdays I'd been on and they looked great. So, got out early of my Megane 250 super cheap finance deal, bought an S2 Exige Sprint (deposit down unseen) that Castle listed surprisingly cheaply, modified/threashed it for 4 years and never looked back...

@C8RKH was Snetterton. Yeah, the cans didn't help. Static tested in the morning at 96db, so thought I was in good shape. Then did 3 runs, they flagged me on the 3rd run, they were doing their best and hoping the rain would dampen the sound, but ran out of leeway in the end. I hit 96 on the drive by. 92 is the limit at Snet, which is pretty standard. Before I do the next one in the UK I will look to get one of the QP ones. Not sure when that will be of course, and will probably be Spa next to be honest... @Stuart Monument aw, thanks. Yeah, it's not as loud as a normal one - @Gm77was there with me in his wife's Focus because his OE 400 has no hope of passing - but still too loud in the end. They wouldn't let me back out even, I put the cans on but they weren't enough to make a difference, not to quieten it by 4db anyway! Also I was a bit careless on the static noise testing and managed to ring up 104db! So as it was louder than I achieved in the morning, that was that for the day. Not worth arguing about. I amused myself abusing Greg's driving from the passenger seat of the focus instead. I'd love to do something like the C1 racing. Not got the time though

Cans didn't help so I just had passenger rides in the afternoon. Guess I need to investigate an even quieter 2bular before I do another UK trackday

It's wet. It's windy. There's very little grip. Quite a lot of fun even so... But tripped the drive by noise meter on the third run and been black flagged! See if the cans make a difference after lunch...

Once again though, I find myself in agreement with @C8RKH's post above. The OP has been repeatedly questioned regarding this and ignored it. To be fair to Jim, he's said for years on his website and when spoken that if you track the car, and don't strengthen the engine mounts, it's your problem. I remember putting Powerflex reinforcements into my S2 engine and gearbox mountings as a result. Now find myself wondering if I should do the same on the Evora. Jim's posted another rant up on 2bular by the way regarding this thread. 🤣

Agreed 🙂

@scotty435 pass, I bought mine second hand. Picture of my old car with the new one - not a great one admittedly - the day before Aimee changed the wheels over to the correct ones. . You're still wrong!
