It’s the little wins. 😎

If you are going from 140 into a hairpin turn that is going to be hard on your brakes lap after lap. Kind of a judgement call and depends on how aggressively you drive. If you’re asking the question I have to assume that you’ll likely be on the less aggressive side and are probably still ok...

I was there Thursday. Had hickory and spice. Good bbq!

Curious. What is the benefit here if you’re going to maintain the overall wheel height? Less weight? Cheaper tires? Different suspension setup using higher profile tires?

So you are the one with the matte black Batman spec! Your car looks AMAZING. And I love all the little details offsetting the matte and gloss black. The top and the sides. The gloss black lotus letters against matte surface, again on the engine cover. Black and silver on the badge. Wow- I...

I think you’re good on stock fluids. I will probably track mine without any track mods first time out. I think brake fluid is good but really optional unless you know you’re going to a high speed high brake zone track.

Many of us have followed your journey and I’m thankful for your contributions. Really sad that you’ve had a poor experience. Perhaps the risk is slightly higher for an early adopter. In any case there are many wonderful sportscars in the world so hopefully you continue to find happiness in the...

Turns out they were enthusiasts themselves and were admiring the lotus. Perhaps they were protecting my car??

the emira IS the sports car that I wanted. All I’m paying attention to is what electric car I might get for my wife at some point or what vintage cars I’m interested in adding to my collection. Not really interested in new cars for myself.

Parked all by myself at the end. This time I pulled a merc into my gravitational field. 🎣🐟😎

you found a bullet proof solution for brake dust!

Took my car out for a fun run. Found a new local twisty road to push the car. I’m actually reminded that the gearbox situation is actually pretty good. I can shift pretty quickly and smoothly- it’s just that the technique/timing is not as intuitive and a little different from other manuals...

The car makes a noise (im guessing fuel pump primer) when you unlock it. When you open the door the noise stops. I make it a point to unlock my car as soon as I can so that the priming runs a few seconds before I open the door. I’ve never had this start issue so im not sure it’s related...

how do you think the supercharged v6 will do compared to the turbo i4? Can’t help but draw a direct comparison to the 718. The 2.5T is objectively faster and way more potential for tuning. Yet the 4.0 is more desirable. The emira situation is slightly complicated by gearbox choices and...

appreciate the reply. adding to the forum knowledge.

Congrats on a beautiful car. I don't really like silver and I don't really like the black pack, but it just totally works with osmium silver and the black pack. Love it.

Zinc is trendy. IMO since it is flat, it works better with the alcantera interior with contrasting stitch Agree with this completely. Zinc is a different vibe and with the right accents it works.

That’s interesting because based on my experience this will happen 100% of the time water is on my car. There is a gap and lip on the rear end of window sill that funnels water into the door. after a heavy rain or car wash you may hear water sloshing around in your door when you swing it open...

That’s exactly what I wondered.

That looks pretty expensive without 100% clear results. I did poke around the site and that led me to thinking about the clutch delay valve. Apparently the Evora GT has a CDV and some have eliminated it to enable faster/smoother shifting. Again, not 100% clear if this makes a real difference or...

I did see that thread. I might try some type of redline transmission oil at some point. I think the additive was for the engine.

I think you added some stripes too! Looks good.

I could see the Alpine being a niche car and feel that the Emira is in a similar category, but broader appeal due to design and bigger power.

this makes sense as one physical option to counter balance the shifting resistance. problem is I am one of the few that like the stock shift knob! maybe if I can find a weighted one that looks OEM.

so I enjoy the manual shifting action. gates are well defined, rifle bolt action. however, two issues I'd like to improve. 1. what options are there to lower the resistance of the manual shift? is there different transmission fluid or different springs or something? 2. why does the Emira prefer...

I’ve always wanted an NSX but felt it was underpowered. The emira is everything I want in a sportscar. Mid engine, rear wheel, LSD, manual, hydraulic steering, very good power to weight ratio, solid brakes, wrapped in a beautiful design inside and out. It’s not bulletproof but build quality is...

no way that is acceptable

Overall 2025 is a build your own FE. No new colors or options. It's hard to decode the color tiers. It's not by popularity - most popular FE were Seneca blue, dark verdant, hethel yellow and they are all on 3 different price tiers. You would think that flat colors like vivid red, mist white...

This is the halo car strategy. Create an aspirational product to generate interest, but also to anchor consumers on a higher price point so that lower priced alternatives appear to be a better value. Thing is, they already had this with the Evija and Emira. Many $2M features trickled down into...

satin black wheels are a new option for that always dirty look in case you don't want to deal with brake dust. the base car is surprisingly well equipped. I would have thought that they came out with more basic options. was hoping to see some different seats and also curious what the base radio...

Yellow and Green/Gray. Sold a Red car for my Vivid Red. Was actually going for hethel yellow but that’s too much yellow. I like more variety. Tend to favor bright colors on sports cars and more conservative colors on pedestrian cars.

Sounds like 911 and e46m3? 😀

Looks great. Are you planning on keeping it on your car or is it kind of single use for you? Just curious.

I agree. Very happy with the 3rd cat delete and stock exhaust.

Where did you get the number? Is it vinyl or magnetic?

Looks like this BMW got pulled into my gravitational field. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Literally no one on the street and I return to this.

@Lotustoronto interesting that you mention the Neo EP9. That car actually looks good. You can also see some borrowed elements like the rear active full length spoiler, steering yoke and overall seat approach, etc.
