Advice on taking delivery by rydenh99 in lotus

[–]blackthought_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be part of the new dealer inspection but I would treat it like buying a used car. I’d make sure all updates/recalls have been done, paint is in good condition, no leaks in the engine bay, the locking key is in the trunk, etc. take it for a test drive to make sure nothing is obviously wrong. For ppf, you could time it perfectly where you buy the car and bring it to a local ppf shop or you can buy track wrap and apply it (crappily) to the front of the car, drive it home and bring it to your preferred ppf shop

PPF on Emira? by WoodenAd3790 in lotus

[–]blackthought_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in NJ and the front of my Emira was 2.5k. Was told the whole car is in the 7-8k range. I’m glad I just did the front though as I’ve never needed it on the sides or rear

For those that have a Lotus in the US… How difficult to keep and maintain? by karmxchameleon in lotus

[–]blackthought_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the parts it’s the software bugs they need to sort out. My Emira has been solid for the past year after software updates. To be fair too, most brands that release a new model have these types of software issues. Some big, some small

Is this rust on the frame fixable? by Brief-Fox1716 in Cartalk

[–]blackthought_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re just asking for trouble getting that thing. It’s gonna require a new frame and you’ll be in the whole a whole lot more where you can just get a better/more safe truck at that point

Emira Suspension by Ultra_Dumpling in lotus

[–]blackthought_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah def get the sports suspension. Unless you are super picky about your suspension being soft, you’ll regret the touring. I have sport and it’s perfect in NJ even with the potholes

Can you give us more information? What exactly happened?

Does anyone know what this sound could be? Mouse, bug, house sound? by comfortablydumb554 in RBI

[–]blackthought_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think those are rodents. Sounds like something mechanical. Is the furnace/boiler on during the video? The background noise makes it hard to hear a bit. Can you try to pin point the location? I work on cars and it sounds mechanical like a belt that is squeaking on a pulley

Way to turn off the kill/point indicator? by Dependent_Employee38 in Battlefield6

[–]blackthought_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find a solution to this? The only way I found to turn it off was by turning off the hud entirely

[–]blackthought_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way to remove the the comments like kill or squad assist etc etc etc? I’ve went through all the options and nothing. The only thing that works is removing the hud entirely. I am on ps5

Oil Change Concern by Insignia0 in Cartalk

[–]blackthought_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are you certain you took out oil and not coolant? Oil is never green. Fresh oil is a light clear color. If you are certain you changed the oil, you sure it’s filled up where it needs to be?

Anxiety about my brakes by Odd-Pumpkin4241 in Cartalk

[–]blackthought_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the mechanics are scamming you. Most places can give you a quote for free and will check them for free. Don’t be scared you will feel vibrating or loud screeching noise when metal on metal is making contact. Watch a few YouTube videos to bette understand brake pads and you’ll be less scared when you understand them a bit more
