    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    I just put my car to bed for the winter. When its time to take it out again, my warranty will be expired. That’s all I'm saying :D Piggy was never in question for me, I've been waiting for a real solution for a looong time Let me know if you want to establish an EU based outpost, I'm sure we...

    Buzzy Blarp Sound when Engine Braking

    I know. Too bad I let it slide with "doesn't happen if I don't cause it" and should've pursued it like every other problem. I think my chances of getting it covered now are very slim. There have been warranty clutch replacements before, so Lotus should know something. But they play very hard...

    Buzzy Blarp Sound when Engine Braking

    Shit I might have just heard it for the first time when letting it slowly engage while parking. I don’t like that.. at all. 38,554 km now and surely no misuse on the clutch. Maybe should have been hard on it, gonna be a real pain to get this approved with 3 months warranty left and that...

    Unable to change aircon blower options

    Either resistor failure (already had this fixed) or broken actuator buried in the dashboard (fix due in November, the entire thing has to come out..........) Can you still control the temperature and/or fan speed? If temp is stuck you likely have a resistor failure. If it can be controlled and...

    Buzzy Blarp Sound when Engine Braking

    Try to understand my pot in #11, maybe look at some clutch assembly pictures and talk to chatgpt if you’re interested. I'm pretty sure about my guess as to what’s producing the sound. Why I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s a problem. Rev match when downshifting and you should be good

    Tires for everyday driving - Lots of miles

    My OEM Eagle F1 SuperSports will be replaced after this season and ran 20000 miles total. Still slightly above wear indicator AND I ran 3 light track days on them. I'll 100% buy them again.

    Windshield washer

    They tried reviving mine even off the car with no luck. Three months later replacement part is still not here 😂

    FS: Jubu Ohlins, Brake disks, cooling kit, GRP short shift, wheel studs, Aerie tow hook, steering wheel buttons

    Language barrier is real and got me wondering wtf you’re up to attaching a tow hook to the car 😂

    Buzzy Blarp Sound when Engine Braking

    I listend a bit closer today and it only sounds while the clutch is slipping as your release the pedal - NOT deliberately slipping, but one usual smooth clutch application - Im also kind of able to reproduce it if I downshift without rev matching from 3rd to 2nd, but it's only very quiet...

    Anyone done a 3rd to 1st by accident

    fyi I calculated the theoretical perfect shift points based on a stock dyno chart, gear ratios and 6800 rpm limit: 1-2: shift ~6700 rpm 2-3: shift ~6650 rpm 3-4: shift ~6620 rpm 4-5: shift ~6630 rpm 5-6: shift ~6510 rpm

    Anyone done a 3rd to 1st by accident

    The light can also flash red if you enter the actual limiter zone. Then remember the engine can supposedly handle 7200 - 7400rpm without any upgrades whatsoever, so you still have some room for error. Do you know how fast you were going? First gear @6800rpm is around 64km/h if I remember...
