    And I thought my alignment was off from the factory!

    Emira Standard Wheel Alignment Settings?

    Problem solved! Took it in to my local dealer, the alignment had been WAY off factory spec. Now that it’s aligned, it’s like a different car! The only problem that I have is that they set front camber to around .45 degrees negative per side, rather than .8 degrees negative. I hope I don’t get...

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    Wish I knew what the “tweaked damper settings and wheel alignment “ changes were.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I had an ‘04 STi with a similar build and same performance at the strip. Great car, uncatchable on a back road.

    A V6 made from half of the Cosworth V12 in the T.50? Heaven.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    With a proper launch (I’ll advised), that would seem to put the car in the low 12s with an even higher trap speed! Nice!

    CARB going away - New law - States will not be able to create their own emission standards

    Perhaps a dealer certified reflash to raise the redline to 7,200 and power a bit. I can dream too!

    Headlight Adjustment

    I get flashed frequently with my low beams on (though I agree that they don’t cast far enough for me). A quick flash of the blow-torch high beams and they realize.

    Anyone else not like driving passengers in it?

    I can scare people in my pedestrian commuter 🤣. Agreed, most people have NO idea what even a basic car is capable of when the driver understands how to properly load the tires through a corner.

    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...

    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.

    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?
