so far since saturday
stalled a few times, typical lotus setup and driver impatience, got one engine fault code, reset it with a code reader (misfire never happened again) possibly due to flat battery.
headlights way off, good for spotting deer on the side of the road, or other kinds of bambi
broke the plastic cover off the drivers side seatbelt cover thing at the top, glue came undone from the foam and small plastic insert.. i'll probably remove the rest of it, seems kinda silly and likely to break off a lot, and it'll save a few ounces, no doubt connected with getting in it wrong.
the carpet came off the little grey button thingy, i guess its been a while since my uk elise so i was getting in it the wrong way, no doubt remove carpets too or find replacement, this never happened to my first elise, but i cant recall what was in the floorpan if it was the same.
front drivers side small plastic grill, one of the tabs was broken and looked like it was malformed in making, all bubbly and shiny black in the middle instead of a clean break, dealer replacing. probably replace with something else anyway, either carbon fibre or such.
i smacked the underside of the front clam a little on the freeway, first of many i'm sure, checking into line-x see if its worth it.
all in all much fun so far
its getting a nice coat of dirt on it.
local speed shop claims first time they've seen a bee, attracted to the saffron yellow no doubt, lots of flies on this car, both squished and regular type, poor colour choice, only adds to weight.
checked out the aftermarket turbo, almost went with it but after lengthy discussions decided against it as most shops seem to think the toyota will snap the crank with this setup, and the best way of getting more performance is to drop in the honda engine, so as soon as i've got enough miles on it we start that project
