Not yet. Does it require the gun add-on?
You don't need the aim controller but it makes the game so much more realistic.
Try CEX or Music Magpie for a secondhand one if you don't want to buy new.

Although, I’ve just found out that the VR element of the game is quite limited. Only 3 missions and a couple of other bits.
Boo.
There is talk of more coming. It’s just a taster for the moment to get interest.
Have you played Firewall. You need that. It’s epic!!!

That does look ridiculously good!
Its really good. Took a vid whist playing it over the weekend.
This is what VR was made for. It's insane realism.

Heavy braking on corners? Clearly this bloke has no idea.

Hi guys!
I can also confirm, got PS VR and it is worth the money. I am not playing that much, but Firewall Zero Hour is really good (besides the waiting times between the rounds).
If we find two more, we could form a team! 😬
Sounds good to me Heiner. What's your PS name?
-
Yes, its on the 30th May this year from what I'm told.

I have one and am currently obsessing about Firewall Zero Hour. Its a first person co op game and its soooo good.
As for the system, I love it. GT sport is great fun although the content is small.
Don't pay anymore than £200 for the starter pack. I waited ages for the price to come down to a reasonable level on the V2.
I have Ace Combat on order which is released on the 18th. Flying a plane in VR has got to be one of the best ways to experience it.
Go for it, its brilliant immersive action.

This is what happens to the aero pods on an Elise Cup. They get shot blasted and the paint does nothing to stop it.
I repainted mine, covered them with satin PPF and put a rubber U channel around the edge. They are bulletproof now.
-
I researched trying to buy some of this paint for my 220 Cup but Sonnebornne and Reick told me to use a different paint that was meant to be used on exterior surfaces. This paint is supposed to be only used on interior parts.
The guy I emailed said they told Lotus they wouldn't warranty the paint if it was used on exterior surfaces.
Next time around I'm going to paint satin Black and use Xpel Stealth PPF.
I think Lotus intended it to be like a stonechip proof paint as its slightly rubberized. It doesn't work. My Diffuser is covered in stonechip marks. They should of R&D'ed it first.

😬 That's just the kind of thing I'm somewhat cynically afraid of! I'll man-up and give it a go... 🤞
I haven't got a heat gun. Do you think a decent hairdryer be sufficient? I have a hairdryer (can't believe I just admitted that) that gets pretty darn hot. I'm sure it'll deliver enough heat for the job and might even be better in terms of not overheating the job. 🤔
It will be far safer using a hairdryer on the hot setting than a proper heat gun.

You should have a connector cable with the unit with crocodile clips on it. Just clip to the battery terminals. Make sure you connect the minus first though.

It works for me (actually this is a sort of half and half)
I think it looks meaner with a black roof.
Bit like how the NSX looked back in the 90’s. The NSX that had the roof painted the same colour never looked right imo.

I really don't like the Matt black but agree with some that breaking up a REALLY bright colour helps. So, I'm genuinely thinking of painting the bonnet/boot/back panel in gloss black. I've got as far as getting a quote to do the work and identifying a metallic black that suits the carbon spoiler in all lighting conditions. Now I'm just lacking the bravery to take the last step, mainly worried that it could actually devalue the car
Yes I agree. I wouldn’t want a full Toxic Green Cup. I like the black parts breaking it up.
-
As long as my Cup doesn't depreciate like a normal car I don't really care.
I've bought it to drive on nice days, not sit in the garage constantly.

You're the expert but in my humble opinion I think the recent elise cups look value compared to S2 exiges. I look at the price you are advertising my old sprint at (which I paid 27k for 20,000 miles and 7 years ago) and I think the newer elises are a bit of a no brainer when making the comparison.
This is why I ended up with a 220 Cup. I was originally looking at S2 Exige at the top end of the market then decided to spend a bit more and go with a year old car instead. Bonus was it still had 2 year warranty outstanding.
Saying that, I still love the S2 Exige. I just had man maths to deal with.

Yes that's fine. It does take a while to harden in cold conditions though.
-
Any UV stable lacquer in a can will be fine.
Spray some into a container and let the volatiles dissipate for 10 mins or so before you use it then apply with a fine brush for accuracy.
Possibly worth investing in some PPF for the future.

Oh dear.

So am I
Although not the dealers fault. Lotus supply problems.
I know what you mean. I've been waiting for a new diffuser since May.

Nice one Paul. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
-
Nice, I thought that would work.
-
Are they painted?
If not couldn't you use red pinstripe from Halfords? Would have the same effect? Just a suggestion.

Wow so not many actually produce anything😂
I help produce something. You just cant buy what I produce though.

I'm an ex Aircraft Maintenance Technician now Composite Production Engineer for Red Bull Racing. Been in F1 for 20 years doing composites so owning a Lotus is a natural environment for me.
Out of work I seem to take a barrage of flak from people asking why we keep giving Danny Ric a rubbish car over Max.
I can offer a bit of knowledge on composite repairs etc but that's probably about it.

I did the maths and worked out buying a Carcoon was the best option. Costs a penny a day to run and keeps the car nice and dry.
