    Emira Standard Wheel Alignment Settings?

    Has anyone tried changing the front toe setting to a slight toe-in versus the slight toe-out (with the Goodyears)? I really don’t like the toe-out feeling when I drive it, it’s way too darty for me and I just don’t trust the car AT ALL. The 992 Carrera S with the same Goodyears, at roughly the...

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    The current V6 won’t pass the newer EU regs which require Lambda=1 across the entire rev range. An entirely new engine is required.

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    Yes, a non-turbo version of the engine that they supply to McLaren would be great. Who could supply the transmission? The other question would be if the kept the motor transversely mounted, or would they change the rear subframe to mount it longitudinally?

    997 into Emira….?

    Power delivery issues or is it just me?

    I have no issues with smoothness, but I do have the “on cam feel from 6-7k rpm. The engine feels like it could keep producing good power over 7k, shame the limit hits right there.

    What tire pressure are you running?

    Im guessing that he’s reading the tire pressures on the dash after driving enough to heat the tires up.

    Harry sells his Emira

    I agree. There’s so much traffic in my area and the police are so heavy-handed that more acceleration would go to waste.
