Hi Guys,

Took Delivery of my Evora S Sports Racer last night . I must say I'm thrilled with it.

My only complaint so far is the Pioneer head unit is terrible. I've had about 6 Pioneer head units over the years and this has got to be the worse. Also the front speakers have a horrible bass to them. Although I only tried it from Bluetooth streaming from my Iphone which took hours to workout how to pair. First Impressions I don't think Ill be keeping the system in the car and that will be out within a couple of weeks.

Does anyone know if there are in implications removing the existing head unit such as the reversing camera etc. Im assuming I could fit a different Pioneer head unit and all would fit etc.

On the plus side the engine sounds fantastic. And the performance is more than enough for road use so I don't think Ill be looking to Tune the engine as originally planned. My brother in law has a V10 R8 he drove the car and was blown away by the handling and the cars experience. I had a 997.2 Carrera S before and the Lotus is much more fun to drive than that. For a weekend toy I don't think you will get much better than an Evora if you want 4 seats.

I doubt it I think it was more a case of the R8 was double the price but that's a completely different animal to be fair.

I've started to get my head around the pioneer today and it sounds a little better. The settings that were on there were completely wrong for the system.

I'll wait another week and see how I get on with the audio. I find driving around town in sports mode is much better listening than the audio at the moment. The echo between buildings is outstanding smile

After another day of playing with the audio I've decided its coming out. Its the worst system I think I've listened to.

Its going in for an upgrade. What JL audio subs have you guys been using? I've been recommended Phass audio front speakers with a JL audio 5 channel amp. We aren't sure about the sub yet as its going to be limited to size.
