outstanding service. Glad they got you taken care of.
Thanks yeah he did mention that it was Allen's new shop, but not any contact info about it. Anybody have any solid contact info - phone number or email, website? are they open on weekends, do they do warranty ? :shrug: Not finding any info on them with GIS.Lotus Propulsion Laboratory
Allen Strommer's new place after Lotus Beverly Hills. Great shop, great people, great service. They are at the corner of Gramercy and Melrose in Los Angeles.
Nice write up and great to support great shops ! But when doing so it might be nice to included their info? What is LPL, where is it, contact info, website, email , authorized warranty etc ? :shrug:

I'm not a tech, but I'd say you're fine at 188. The fans come on at 207, and you should see cooling at that point.183 on the freeway? I'm running about 188 on freeway and temp's shooting up rather easily at stop lights.
Is there any way to diagnose that it's a radiator problem?
BTW, excellent work by the LPL guys. That's true dedication. Much, much more than I can say about our local Lotus shop.
Agreed.I had my radiator crap out last December too. Replaced under warranty. Seems to be the 111's weak spot.
Do you smell occasional coolant in the cabin when idling in traffic ? Pop off the drivers side turn signal (or have somebody do it ) If there is coolant pooled in the crash structure or signs that it has in the past and your car is a 2005/2006, then it might have a leaky plastic side tank. When very hot it expands and leaks slightly but does not when colder183 on the freeway? I'm running about 188 on freeway and temp's shooting up rather easily at stop lights.

NICE! I'm running their dual tip diffuser exiting exhaust, and it's the best I've owned. No packing inside, dual can. Great build quality, especially on the welds. Bonus: little to no drone, and it sounds like a proper sports car.Allen installed one of his new supercharged sized exhaust and upgraded rear calipers on my car last Friday. He put a lot of extra time and effort to get the car buttoned up and right. Every time I take my car to him it always comes out better, even if it something small I did not think of. He also has saved me a lot of money in not buying parts that do not work.
The exhaust is absolutely amazing. The rear caliper makes a pretty big difference too.

188 is perfectly fine, some would even say a little cool. Mine runs (well as of last week) a constant 195 after the built and sleeved engine. Before that on my stock system the car ran very cool at around 174-178 on the freeway - what temps are you seeing on the track? they could be lower based on more airflow...in traffic my car will hit 205 easy. I just got new huge PWR radiator and heat exchangers installed so my car should be running cooler...183 on the freeway?
