    Thanks for the link! Although my wife won’t be happy. She doesn’t want me getting attached

    So, just to follow up, I believe I have solved the problem, no more P1498. I replaced the Intercooler boots, Throttle Body gasket and tightened the bolts that hold the right hand Intercooler horn to the Intake manifold since I had it off recently to replace the bypass valve. After a long test drive yesterday, no code, no lights! I'm glad it wasn't the Supercharger inlet pipe, because that's not an easy replacement!

    Years ago when my daughter was in high school she told me that she had run over something in the road. She said that all she saw was staples all around
    the tire. Long story short guess what that cost me.

    I think @00Mini has a good point. You can always add them later. If you knew for sure you wanted them, you could have them painted on the hood.

    When I drove my R50 to my eye doctor today, about 12 miles from my house, I was wearing my MOTD Veteran vest and was asked what that was all about, so I told them about the Tail of the Dragon and the many times I had been there. They replied, "thank you for your service".

    Also if your wondering what the plug is in the first picture, it is where I installed my V1. I have a phone mount on the windshield for an old iPhone I use as the remote for the V1 via Bluetooth. Form the outside you can’t tell it’s in the car.

    And perhaps you can drop the brand name for that front/rear video camera, I could see a usage for that one. :). Track incident disputes. :) :) :)

    Mine attached to the existing rear view mirror. I know what you mean about running the wires. The lotus is a big pain. the aluminum monocoque is very hard to run wires around, I had to order an extension wire for the rear camera so I could make all the turns.
    All new car have a black box that records lotus of parameters in an accident. Some times the insurance company and law enforcement use them in court. I would not be surprised if those cameras do record.
