I had a Dino 246 Gt for 17 years and only recently let it go. I was a beautiful car to look at. Not the best drivers car, or trouble free by any sense. But I loved it. It made way for my new emira which sits next to my 410 Exige. The change bough my daughter an apartment. So it did it`s job and...

I`m calling the Emira the future Dino246. Similar dimensions, V6 manual. bagged for being under powered, and many other historic similarities. Todays exotics are quite large cars.

Does anyone in Australia want to swap their sports shocks for my touring shocks? Preferable if u are in Sydney. Messages me if u are interested.

I’ve voided warranty on all 4 lotus cars I’ve bought new. Never had any issues with warranty claims not involving the mods I’ve done. I sadly don’t have the patience to wait out the warranty period to do the upgrades that lotus should have done so in the first place. If you suffer anything form...

Jeeze. Even it it`s smash up state, the Emira looks AAMAZING! Sorry about your incident. It could have been a lot worse. Once you start spinning, you just become a passenger. And then luck takes over.

Just pull it off and refit it. Usually works for most things.

My caution comes from not hearing anyone on this forum that has gone down this path. 450bph is a fairly sweet spot for an Emira v6. and at$1300 bucks, it`s a bit of a deal when compared to the other offers.

Does anyone know anything about this company? 405 to 450 BHP for $1300 https://www.oetuning.com/lotus-emira-3-5l-v6-405hp

Both great cars. A real first world problem.

U

Yeah. I`m completely confused.

A lot of 0 to 100 acceleration times has to do with is more about the gear ratios. When u increase the Hp of most cars that increased gains is coming out of the corners. That’s generally what counts. IMO.

I’m in Australia. And I agree.

yes

There’s a lot of talk about the restriction in HP due to the Toyo gear box. Lots of opinions, but little experience to back the statement. I’ve had many lotuses, and modified every one of them and tracked them extensively. There are many v6 exiges in australia with well over 500 bhp. And I’ve...

I don’t even think my wife could do that.

I’ve had the GRP lowering kit added and the lotus dealer maxed it to its lowest point. They also put on the 12 mm spacers. I’ve had no problems with any scraping or wheel arch issues. The only problem I have now is tripping over on footpath faults when I park the car because I can’t get my eyes...

Just go to the dealer in your state and take one for a drive. They are very helpful and a good drive will answer all your questions, and extinguish all the BS you see and read about in the influencernet.

Just relax and drive it.

We should swap. I can barely get mine down.

If you see a 65% drop in 18 months, you probably won`t have a job, which means your wife will get your car. Careful what you promise.

And they work well.

Does it fell like the performance has improved?

No. Not much faster. That`s the point. With relatively little money, the emira is looking like a performance bargin. I think as owners become less spooled by the "warranty" jitters, there will be more aftermarket vendors willing to make performance upgrade option.

HA HA. I remember telling my wife when I upgraded my first v6Exige SC from the TVS 1350 to the Harrop 1900 because it improved the fuel economy. I agree. The Emira is a wonderful car. But it does need to be a 450 HP car. Even if you spend 10 to 15K to do it. It`s still cheap, in that you have a...

Yeah. They reckon that the average time a man spends in lovemaking is 15 minutes…everything else take a lot longer.

Haven’t anyone here been following g the finance newspaper? No exotic cars are doing to well at the moment. Any car is only worth what the market will pay at any moment in time. Numerous factors affect this. The only price drop you should worry about is if people are selling their Emira because...

I must be one of the lucky ones. My paint is flawless. What u got is not acceptable.

A charge cooled Harop 1900 supercharger is around $11k fitted in Aus. That's better value

Still sound sensational. I think the open valve control give you more noise earlier in the rev range.

Spacers first. Then balance the tyres. I think the tyre balance is the likely cause. 20 inch wheels are very sensitive and unbalance quite easily. I have the non hubcentric spacers and the lowering kit and have no probs at all. Lotus fitted these on mine. PS. your car look sensational!!

That’s about right. 10ks is about the limit. You not feel it, but after that amount of mileage the performance when u need it the most(usually in emergency) will let u down. The tyres are your only real protection of your expensive asset.

Yes. I can second this. The improved performance is def. felt. Parctically no lag off the start, and pull hard though the linear power range.

Time to moisturize.

Sorry for the dumb question. So once the 3rd cat is installed(without the valve controller), are the valves fully open when you trigger 'track "mode? what is the difference between track mode and using the controller to trigger open mode. Does the controller delete the function of the lotus...

Coming from my 410 exige to the emira. You WONT be disappointed! It truly is an amazing car. Enjoy your wait. It`s worth it.

Love your work mate. Will keep watching. I’m moving towards nitron club sports soon. Was thinking the 3 way, but found them too difficult to work out properly on my 410 exige. I think you need data to get the best out of a 3 way(so to speak). I won’t ask u on your thoughts about the nitron...

Hi Brett. I`d be more interested in your opinion(subjective) as to how the car now feels engine wise with these mods. Does it "feel" much stronger in its accel. and pull out of corners? Just a quick reply is fine. Thank you.

Ok. You win.
