JUBU spec Ohlins TTX suspension road & sport (2-way)… PURE ART

Also just received the Ohlins from Jubu a few weeks ago, and finally had time to take them to the track this last weekend. Very high quality product and the mounts that Jubu makes are well thought out and well manufactured.

Spring rates are 500lb/in
The dampers though have a HUGE range of adjustment. I've played with a few settings.
26 clicks on compression and rebound. (clicks below are from full soft)
1 click feels like a toyota, super super underdamped and nauseating
7 clicks on both is my ideal street. Tires feel good on asphalt and concrete, damps after one compression rebound cycle
13 clicks is very stiff. It feels like a go kart and damps out seemingly before the spring gets to full compression. In my opinion too stiff for street.

Normally on adjustable suspension you get some range, but the Ohlins are massive, which means you can really tune your car to you. I drove Buttonwillow's the circuit at my street setting and next time would probably go up a few clicks on a well paved track.

Overall, these are a huge improvement over the stock sports suspension that has lighter springs, but yet is too stiff for the street... because you have so much meaningful adjustability to play with. Would recommend.

Hello from Italy

Hello everyone,
I’m Andrea (male!), new and pride Emira owner from Rome, Italy. Hethel yellow, alcantara yellow stitching, black pack.
I’ve never owned a Lotus before, and after reading all of the issues and lack of support you guys talk about here on the forum, I was skeptical and didn’t know if to pull the trigger. Well I did, and I’m super excited. I know I might get some issues, but hell life is short!
Problem now is, I booked a vacation to Japan long before buying the car and after only 3 days (during which I managed to drive 990 km 😅), I had to leave it in the garage. I can’t wait to get back driving.
The forum is a terrific source of info thanks to you guys, you rock!

What did you do to your Emira today?

Rear diffuser removal ti

When removing your rear diffuser, do not remove the 4 middle bolts. These hold a supporting plate for rigidity for the rear diffuser. The removal of these bolts are not necessary for dropping the rear diffuser.

If you do remove these 4 bolts, there is a high probability the plate will come loose and misalign when reinstalling rear diffuser. You will have a hard time remounting those 4 bolts and the bolts will eternally spin not having threaded receiving end in the supporting plate.

If you do mistakingly remove those 4 bolts and the bar comes loose, no worries. Just rethread those 4 bolts into the bar prior to rear diffuser reinstall. Hope this helps. 🙂

Headlight Adjustment

There's an adjustment access hole on the inner fenders inside the front. You have to lift up the front hood. There's one on each side of the car.

I did it when I first got my car, because the left headlamp was lower than the right. You adjust it with a hex wrench. I can't remember exactly what it was, but it may have been either an 8 or 10mm. To raise the headlights, turn the screw towards the interior of the car. On the left side of the car, that will be counter-clockwise, on the right side it will be clockwise.

If you have a level driveway, use the garage door to see the light pattern so you can match them. Otherwise, find someplace where you can project the beams on a wall to see the light pattern. You want to be about 10-15 feet back from the wall. Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the headlamp on the car, and then match that height on the wall where the beam is projected.

For example, on my car the distance from the ground to the center of the headlamp is 27 inches. Put a piece of painter's tape at that same height (27 inches) on the wall, then adjust the beam pattern so the top of the pattern is no higher than that. To be safe, adjust it just a bit below the line because over a distance the beam height becomes greater and greater the farther away.

Today was the day to upgrade my brake pads to something a bit cleaner.
Added hawk brake pads all around.
I also installed some 3-D printed rock guards.
