Resting under the palms.

Can someone explain to me the significance of keeping the car in Tour mode during the break-in period versus Sport mode with a 6sp manual Emira? If this has to do with keeping RPM under 4000, that can easily be controlled with the manual.

Vivid Red, Tour

Yes, like any other modern car, they all start in econo mode to pass emissions.

Without foot on brake or clutch, hold start button for 5 sec. Next, put in Sport or Track mode. Next, turn on car by holding foot on brake.

Thanks for the feedback. Been debating if I should wait to hit 1,000 miles before doing 3rd cat delete. Just curious, are you leaving the car in Tour mode during break-in period or Sport/Track?

FYI, Lotus of Naples said that they would do 3rd decat delete on the Emira.

I had a local shop quote me $500, but then I read on one of the forums that if you take the cover off, Lotus may void the warranty. So I didn’t want to take any chances (although my dealer said it would not void the warranty) and had them do it for $997 prior to delivery and had them add it to...

I had the dealer do it before pickup so don’t know the process they went through.

I would have liked to, but I am trying to stick to the break-in rules as much as I can = torture. Took back roads home to vary speed and shift 500 times. Lol

Finally picked up my car from Naples Friday! Not too many pictures of Vivid Red w/Black pack, so figured I’s share a picture. Also had engine cover painted to match car color. Better visible through the tinted rear window. 180 mile trouble free trip home. PPF and ceramic next.
