Looks like the Emira is going to have some competition in the looks department. This is the new Honda NSX which will have a Honda V6 and manual gearbox. Supposedly going into production in 2026, but no price has been announced yet...

I've designed an actual dual exhaust, no y-pipe. I already have an Aerie titanium muffler and 3rd cat delete pipe. No problems.

Unfortunately Aerie doesn't have a V6 car available to them to work out the fitment. I was given a reference to a guy locally who's supposed to be a top notch fabricator, but I don't know if he does any kind of production work, just one-off custom designs. I'll have to wait until spring to...

I generally have Waze showing. Sometimes I use the performance widget. For the small screen in the center of the driver's screen, I usually have either the main odometer or either Trip A or B. I'm not fancy. I don't even have the radio on. I just like to drive the car.

Weather cleared up, and temps got up to the 50's so took the car out. I got a new iPhone 17 Pro, and connected it to the car; settings>connect>bluetooth>iPhone and chose Carplay when it asked, and it worked! First time I've ever been able to get wireless Carplay to work. Drove around for an...

This is rather disingenuous considering we don't know how many of the decisions were his, versus orders he was given from above. There's also the fact that the EV debacle (which was not his decision or doing) hammered Lotus badly, as it did all major auto companies. The future of Lotus depends...

This is so sad to me. I know there are people who think poorly of him, but none of us know what he had to go through to get the Emira from a drawing on paper, into the most successful production car Lotus has ever produced. I for one am very glad he did, and consider myself fortunate to own...

I've had the Aerie titanium exhaust on mine (V6 manual) for over a year without any problems. I installed it and used the factory valve and controller, never had a single issue. I drove it like that for a year even with the 3rd cat still installed which adds heat. I did many dyno pulls with...

The old site over the years

No. They were inspired by one of their designs, but it's not a copy. I wanted something close to the 6 spoke Lotus Evija wheels, but I wanted a 5 spoke design. I saw a picture of a wheel on a Ferrari that turned out to be a Llagos wheel, and it was a pretty close copy of the Evija wheel. For...

According to TireRack tests, the two best would be the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 2 which had the highest tire wear rating of 340 but was more expensive at $1,533 for a set, or the Kumho Ecsta Sport S which had a much lower tire wear rating of 260, but was also less expensive at $1,154 for...
