    Fuel Choices

    The E is maximum ethanol content as is up to 10% in E10 the U.S. standard in pump gas regardless of regular/mid or premium grades.

    Exhaust Options Index

    I've had the GRP Ti rear muffler on for over 1000 miles, while I cant compare it to a standard exhaust Emira as the dealer installed it along with Miltek valve controller, I can compare it to an older Evora fitted with header, mid cat and factory Ti exhaust. The Emira has more drone, while the...

    Exhaust Options Index

    $2700 for installation is rape, however if the exhaust swap included a Tip change then the hours do build up as the rear bumper must be removed.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    JUBU cooling upgrade 2GR

    While Jubu makes great stuff I think it is far to premature to suspect cooling problems on the Emira, at least on the V6 configurations. We run these cars on tracks in Texas in 100-110 ambient are temps and typically 140 (60C) air temps above the track pavement. The only coolant thing Ive...

    JUBU cooling upgrade 2GR

    It is not the muffler that puts heat into the engine bay, but rather the exhaust manifolds with intergral Cats.

    Exhaust upgrade on v6? You need to know this (real life experience and Lotus dealership input)
