    Emira insurance in the US

    I currently have my GT on my State Farm policy as well. Similar rates as yours. I’m going try Hagerty for a quote. I felt the same way about Grundy. I initially went with a policy through them but cancelled quickly after doing further research. Lots of fine print and after hearing a few horror...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I heard a few car reviewers comparing or saying the Evora GT was similar to what Honda should have done for its later generation NSX. I kind of laughed it off but honestly I see what they mean. I’ve driven a NA1 and it’s pretty gutless still a ton of fun to drive. Similar to the s2000 hahaha.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    As a Honda fanatic and s2000 owner I agree the Emira will be a great drivers car. It has a unique connection with the driver that I can definitely compare to the s2000. I was a late 2021 deposit holder. I purchased a Evora GT to hold me over (instantly fell in love.) After test driving the Emira...

    Stock Emira Wheels and Tires

    I would not trust purchasing wheels (forged or not) from a company that is not established. I believe Lotus changed wheel manufacturers for the Emira. My Evora GT wheels are forged and made in the UK. Cheaping out on wheels does not make sense especially on this car.

    Colorado - questions

    Im just south of Denver I may be able to help out with a safe parking spot for you. Any of the resort areas have garages as well at most. I’m excited to see some Emiras in the canyons.

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    No problem at all. I will say I fell in love with the GT when first test driving it. I honestly feel The seats, steering wheel, and dash display were things that made the Emira feel different. I do think an exhaust mod will definitely help with those looking for a more exotic sound. I wish I...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    I will say I didn’t notice it to be as audible as my GT in 1st gear. I wasn’t listening for it tbh though. I read a thorough review on a GT that pointed it out before buying the car so I wasn’t surprised when I first noticed. It doesn’t bother me but I also don’t drive the car in a lot of stop...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Similar background to you. Started with tweaking B series Honda motors and moved on up. Doesn't the S2k have a digital speedo as well? I also prefer analog (or at least analog style digital gauges), but the Emira digital display didn't bother me. Something I could easily get used to. Maybe there...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Went for a test drive earlier today and wanted to share my opinion, with a few possibly biased comparisons to the Evora GT. I started buying/selling/modifying cars 17 years ago (34 now) mainly dealt with Honda s2000 and k20/24 platforms. Have owned a variety of cars mainly pre 05. Have driven...

    Speculation: FE I4 will have 400HP and 480NM?

    I agree that the Emira will be more of a daily driver in comparison to the s2000. It’s really all dependent on climate etc but I can definitely see your point. IMO you should have held out on selling your s2000. I plan to sell one of mine to put towards the Emira when it comes time but will...

    Aftermarket wheels for the Emira

    The factory wheels really look great IMO. Being forged they will be superior to most as well. The wheel specs will likely be higher offsets similar to the Evora. I tried finding photos of an Evora with Rays (Volk, Gram light etc) wheels and came up empty handed. I’m sure with interest...
