Even with the nor'easter on its way, I managed to get a couple hours driving in. During the drive the windshield washer warning light came on and off.
When I got home it took nearly a gallon and a half of fluid. Who knew it could hold do much.
Seems very UN Lotus like!
 
Reinstalled the OEM hatch. Couldn't get the Tecnocraft carbon hatch to seal and it was letting water in the trunk. Had all 8 hinge bolts loose for adjustment and couldn’t get any luck Still trying to figure out what the issue is but leaning toward it getting damaged by the shipping company and being warped.

Carbon hatch lifting up:

Other than driving the car, I haven't really been doing anything.

But I wanted to share that I was able to score a full set of spare OEM J hooks to replace my current ones when they're finally done. I was able to get these, some new microfiber cloths that were used for shipping padding and some extra discontinued TRD oil filters for basically what the Bell and Covil deal was a few years back (roughly 2k-ish shipped give or take). I still can't get over the fact that Lotus wants $2500 per rotor and they're not even carbon ceramic.

Its crazy tbh, I'm looking to change mine when my pads are done, so ill probably look to GRP or Seriously lotus as they're essentially the same.
What i do find extremely annoying, lotus Emira discs are half that price 🤔
