The video made it on PH which is cool

 

[Bibs]

With or without music? 

[alias23]

Im at work @Bibs so can't comment one way or another... what I personally prefer is maybe a bit of opening and closing music, then the real driving effect for the actually footage.

Great video. I must admit I did find myself keeping a beady eye on the chaps rev counter on the in-car footage to see if he'd be hitting the new low rev limiter haha

Thanks, took a lot of time for Neil & I to create

Definitely without music.

[chumaxa]

Same definitely without... I do not want to appear mean, but also that kind of music, just does not match the car or current time window .. 

[Bibs]

Fair enough! The 'without' version was the one released of course by Lotus, they thought the same.

Is the 3 year warranty available on the 430 Cup?

What about 50:50 0% finance?

Not when I asked think they said 2 years

No sure on 50/50

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new red decals of the front bumper?

[Stubox]

Saw the first rhd ones at the factory this week and in the flesh they are rather impressive, front end is more menacing with thebigger intakes and front ‘wings’ . Have to say prefer the rear of the old Cup but otherwise this appears to a proper (and expensive) move forwards.

Anyone order the 430 cup? Just curious

[Bibs]

I spoke to a chap yesterday who ordered one from B&C, only lives up the road from me too! He's going to be joining TLF shortly I hope

I was intrigued by the cooling package on the 430, it includes: 

Improved oil cooling system upgraded to handle the additional heat from the engine oil cooling system.

The car has 5 heat exchangers in total:

Engine oil to coolant cooler

Low temperature system radiator

Primary cooling package

Auxiliary primary cooling radiator.

The main radiator is in the usual place and on the right hand side lower intake is the aux radiator. With a CAC (Charge Air Cooler) on left hand side and to top it all off there's also a gearbox oil cooler!

An incredible amount of work considering the car wasn't even conceived this time a year ago! ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Bibs]

I guess when you've got a big car company, these things don't take too long. Anyway, let's please keep this thread for discussion on the car. Remember, I know where you live

Where better to christen your new toy?

I'm finalizing my order on the 430 and wondering if someone can help me with the following:

Can I order the battery isolater option without the fire extinguisher option? 

When I specced the 380 cup they were both listed as separate options on the website, but when it came to the final order spec sheet they had to be ordered together.

 

Wondering if the 430 is the same. As the website lists them as separate options and the order spec sheet lists them individually.

Anyone know? Thanks!
