For those of you who have done Blackstone oil analysis, what do you do with the data they provide?

Waco here.

Awesome! Glad to see you using and ENJOYING your car!

Congrats! It would be awesome if you could drive a bone-stock Emira right after driving your prize and compare the two.

Must have e85 tune and meth injection come in with this lid and a CAI. MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!

I don’t think any new cars at any price look better. Wilder, yes, but not necessarily better. The proportions of the Emira are spot on. McLarens, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis look more dramatic, but I don’t find that their proportions are quite right. A bit too stretched here, an unnecessary...

As I have stated before, I haven’t driven a Porsche, so I might change my tune if I had a broader frame of reference. From a 10,000 foot view, it seems that automotive journalist pine for days gone by. The Emira seems to be one of the very, very few cars that gives a proper old-school sports...

Agreed! These cars will wear out at some point, and when they do, they can be fixed!

For those of us who plan to keep our cars forever, 25 years from now, I think a “lived in” but well cared for Emira will be cooler than a museum piece. I want to see some fractures and chips in Babe Ruth’s bat, and some creases in Willie Mays’ glove. When I go to car shows, the well maintained...

I get that Lotus completely mishandled the pricing. You can’t imply or tell everyone the car is going to be significantly cheaper than it will be once at the dealership and available for purchase. That being said, the automotive press didn’t crow about the price of the Evora GT, which when...

Ok everybody, we’ve stroked his ego enough. No more (deserved) admiration or praise until he shows us more photos of his wheels mounted on his car.

Of course I’m going to agree with this. It’s written by a fellow OS Emira owner, so his opinion must be dead on! I subscribed to Evo earlier this year, as I really miss Road & Track from when I was a kid. It’s not the same, but finding good general interest print car magazines is getting harder...

I’d say if you’re planning on keeping it forever, get the exact color you want. Don’t compromise for a small percentage of disposable income.

I got my car in March 2024. Osmium Silver with Ice Grey. I LOVE the way it looks, and it has held up well. I coated with G techniq at maybe 1,000 miles. I have about 4,300 miles now. It is holding up well. There are minor spots, but nothing you’d notice unless you were really looking. No...

And just like that, Jubu being defensive and secretive about a non-patented part was rendered pointless by a forum member uploading photos of the install process. They could have chosen to be responsive and directly answer a question. Instead it sounds like they chose to give bogus answers to...
