I have that funnel as well 
Put 73 laps in at Sebring today! Cars first time out since the trans, clutch, headers, Penske, BWR RUCA and VF tune. Car did amazing! The extra RPM from the tune (7200) really helped with shift points on track.
Set a new PB on the first session and lowered it a little later in the day. No leaks and no obvious failures. The car does have a clutch related clunk, though. If a quick release - clunk and pedal bump. If a slow release, nothing. Will check the slave, CDV delete, and shifter cables at some point to see what’s going on.
Hatch also decided it didn’t want to open at the end of the day. Fortunately all the supplies fit in the car. Will need to F with the hatch and get it open.

Someone's GT hatch refused to open at LOG...some of our best talent was out there trying to help him. Poor guy, don't know what happened but i think its time someone came up with a solution...its a simple hammer to disengage the lock, and its right there...there should be some permanent tool Greg or someone can design to remotely hammer the lock...or some protruding extension for a manual release....idk...anything at this point because this is starting to get ridiculousI have that funnel as well

Here is a link to a post about how I attacked the trunk issue. https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/w...hat-did-you-do-to-your-evora-today.166185/page-408?post_id=6289590#post-6289590
@Theunz - thanks for linking. I knew I’d seen your post in the past. Might be time…
Here’s the LOG owners solution - which I just did and it worked!
More items to keep in the car for just in case situations…

That's movin! What tires are you running?
Thanks! AD09 - they are near end of life so thinking about what will be next.
Washed the track grime off, took the track wheels off, and found/fixed my clunk.
The BWR RUCA nuts had come loose after 12 AutoX and 73 laps at Sebring (super rough track). I hung on the nut - let’s see how long they stay tight for this time.
Blue loctite?
For now I just hung on the wrench and tightened it as much as I could. I'll monitor them every wheel swap but will consider adding a jam nut or some loctite next time.
Attended a C&C this am. First show type event with the Lotus. Fun to see the attention these things draw. Traded cars with my buddies Porsche RS America for the ride home. Cool to drive older cars and remind myself how nice power steering is
Finally installed a Moroso oil pan.

How are the AD09s with heat? Looking for consistency over 30 min sessions and decent lifespan vs. all out lap times.
Tested out my recent Gyeon CanCoat topper application after heavy rainfall

I think they do decent. I was getting my fastest laps usually mid session but did have a long 42 minute session where my last 16th Sebring lap was the fastest and close to my overall FTD for the day.
I seem to be getting 3-4 days out of a set at Sebring. The rears get to the wear bars while the fronts still have some life.
Prior to my aggressive alignment, the tires would chunk after the 3-4 days.
Current set could probably do another day - but I’m pretty sure I’ll try something new for my December event.
Tested out the daily practicality during Costco run…6 packs of Charmin!
