    Roadster PEM failure

    It's just insane that they have had it this long without being able to see that until now!! Too bad we live so far from Carl Medlock. Well at least it's working now.

    Just ordered the new Bespoke51 taillights

    Transforged is a clueless moron who had no idea whatsoever about how to make a good product. He had now idea what I was talking about when my friend helped him with the right type of resistors on them and they are horrible when i comes to moisture. STAY AWAY!!! If you want a product that looks...

    Have to sell my Roadster in Norway

    Hi, It's a 2.5 base model yes, vin804. The last owner changed the front bumper after hitting a pole or something, just an easy replacement with no bigger damage. The car is now in very good condition as you can see in the pictures. I have changes must of the suspension parts and upgraded the...

    Have to sell my Roadster in Norway

    I had written proof from many years ago that they promised to fix the paint on warranty. The reason for the part repaint was bubbles in the fenders, which has been a pretty typical Roadster problem. The reason it finally happened now, is just because Tesla is so ridiculously slow... Went and got...

    Have to sell my Roadster in Norway

    My family is growing, so it looks like I will need a car with 4 seats the next years. I can't afford having the Roadster just sitting there. So it looks like I now will have to sell it. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested. I am thinking 500 000NOK. It is located in southern...

    Coding a new Key?

    Has anyone done this themselves? The lock button on one of my keys do not work anymore. Got a new Lotus key, but have not been able to code it.

    Initial impressions: Nitron 46mm NTR Race 1-way shocks

    With all the info I gave them, they can easily make a kit that would fit and work very well, but they were totally uninterested in every way to make something that would actually work :( I hope the customer service guy I talked to gets fired or find something better to do. Their product seems...

    Initial impressions: Nitron 46mm NTR Race 1-way shocks

    Update. I just wasted 4 months on Nitron and they have horrible customer service! -It is impossible to get the Nitron shocks approved in Norway since they do not come with any documents. -Nitron sent me the shortest size dampers they make, even though the Roadster should have the longest. It...

    Initial impressions: Nitron 46mm NTR Race 1-way shocks

    After much back and forwards I finally got Nitron to make me a paper that I hope will get my car approved with the dampers. They claim that the 3cm shorter front shocks is the same as the Elise S2 and the correct length? Which does not make sense to me, and I fear that this will add more stress...

    I hope so too. I have read the rules here in Norway more careful now and I still have a slight hope that they can be approved. But I need them to write a document confirming that the shocks are made to the specifications of the Tesla Roadster. But Nitron has now not answered any mails the last...

    It is impossible to get the car approved in Norway without the papers. NITRON refuses to make the papers needed and now also refuses to take back the kit. So this is a pretty horrid situation, and I am extremely disappointed by how Nitron is handling this...

    I can, but I do not think I will be approved since the rear driver side has a small leak... I really hope Nitron will be able to provide the papers.

    Initial impressions: Nitron 46mm NTR Race 1-way shocks

    Mayday mayday! Had the car in for an EU control today, and since the shocks that are on the car now are not original they demanded TÜV documents to approve the car. But Nitron does not have those documents apparently, so now I might have a pretty big problem. How did the other two? European...

    The entire setup feels very good I have to say. More comfortable than the old on first impact, and still feels firmer and makes the car hug the road a LOT better. Regarding the spring rating, this is the answer I got: You have a total of 850lbs in the rear but it is the main spring which is...

    I talked directly to Nitron in the UK and they said that the kit I bought is not a Lotus kit, but a custom Tesla Roadster kit. So everything should be correct. Looks awfully short though. I will have to measure when I finish this one side. Looks like I can just adjust the rideheigh myself...

    The rear damper was pretty much the same length as the old. But the new front is a lot shorter. Do I just turn the shim things with the tool on the picture. Or will that mess up something else. I assume the car will be as much lower as the damper is shorter?

    Unfortunately it does not look like it. I was also looking for the AD07 and AD08R without finding any in the 175/55/16 or 195/50/16 :/ Luckily my front tires are in very good condition, but I have no idea what to do when I need new ones

    Aaaaha, well that makes a LOT more sense! Ok, then it should be a relatively easy job. Thanks again for all the help! Will put in the order asap then. Looking forward to getting a proper sorted car again. There should be no need for a wheel alignment since it's just new dampers right?

    I just checked both front sides today, and I still don't get how it could fit on one side but not the other. It looks like both sides have the same L bracket on the bottom part that holds the damper. They are both 4,5cm wide the top 5cm and then widen out to 5cm the rest. The angle of the two...

    Just ordered the new Bespoke51 taillights

    That was my experience too, until they started failing... And the quality issues was a problem years ago when they made lights for just Lotus, so I would not be to hopeful. That said, I live in Norway and drive my car every day. So in milder climates with little use, you might not experience any...

    Yea it's a bummer. There is one more manufacturer that has great feedback that could maybe make some that fit's. But I don't think I wanna take on another project. I need to get dampers +++ first GregsRaceParts.com GRP

    WARNING!!! I do not recommend doing business with Transforged Racing / Bespoke 51. After seeing their rear light on a Lotus, I contacted them to see if it was possible to make some for the Roadster since they looked good. Some months later after spending a lot of time taking apart my lights...

    Is the part that dues not fit just nr.1? or nr.2? If the problem is just nr.1, would it not be easy just to file it off to make a little less wide?

    My rear shocks have a leak now so I need to upgrade. Looks like the Nitron shocks that are linked to here are not available anymore so I was thinking about getting these: Lotus Elise S2/S (Toyota) (05-) Nitron Street Series Suspension Kit Would they fit? And do they need any customization?
