A 1994 Porsche 993 RS. Yep. Bough from new for nothing, as everybody in Australia was broke. And sold it 3 years later. What a moron. Didn`t even need to sell it.

I think that`s more correct. Look at the past series. They dropped quite sig. from new. Then crawled back up a bit. The Emira will be no diff. I doubt we will see second hand emiras being sold for less that S1,2s, or 3s.

I think it says something about the car market in the current uncertain economy rather than what it specifically says about the emira.

No. But it will definitely give you consistency fast lap times.

If you are going to invest in a “sports” shock system, you probably are better off putting the money towards a set of nitron road, or nitron club sports. They are a much better option. You also have the luxury of adjusting the dampeners with a simple click, and you can also just your ride hight...

this happened to my car for a while when I got it. Got less and less over time. Thought it was probably a software upgrade issue which would be resolved when I get my first service some 8 months later(seems like the USA first service is at 1000kms…it’s 10k or 12 months here in Aus). Anyway, it...

Who knows. But if you ask this question, then you are probably better off waiting for the 3 years of warranty to run out, then start your mods.

I doubt lotus Australia would send us here away and call us back some one year later for its first service. I’ve been a lotus customer for about 20 years, buying several new cars from them. So I doubt they would bum steer me. I’m only relaying what happens here. Which I would have thought would...

“Spreader of misinformation”.

This is my fourth Toyo lotus from new. Tracked all of them extensively. Never had even a backfire. My first schedule service on my emira was just completed, which is 10 months after it delivery. Maybe things are different here down under. Like, we don’t get our oil analysed after it’s been...

What a load of crap. These engines are already bench run. Further. The Toyo engine popping or box dropping is just not an issue. Just get use to the car for a couple of hundred of whatever u measure distance in your country and then full throttle to the closest mod shop.

I agree. I fitted the GRP dry filter and found a minor "feel" difference. Over the next few weeks, the "feel" has increased quite a lot. It does take some time for the ecu to adjust to the new airflow through the SC. This was confirmed by my Lotus dealer who fitted the filter for me at my last...

You would have to be seriously convinced that an aftermarket exhaust could cause a catastrophic event to the engine to not go ahead with this. And if you think that is possible, it doesn’t say much about the lotus(Toyo) engine. This is my forth Toyo engined lotus car. And I did and do EVERYTHING...

I had both ceramic and front /mirrors and side skirts covered in PPF. Best thing iv`e done. One year later, the paint work gleams like it`s just been delivered to me new. The ceramic makes washing and drying it a dream. I always thought ceramic was bs.. I was proven wrong.

No

I think the zinc grey looks SO hot. Ive seen a few of these here in Aus. Get the thing striped up and it will be the head turner of the century

Start with a decat, followed buy a GRP air filter and your throttle response and low down power is resolved in a big way. Then you can relax and decide what ecu solution you want to pursue.

Iv`e had no probs with mine so far. And Iv`e been well over 76mph.

Maybe have the wheels balance before you change anything else.

How can they void the warranty unless they can identify that the mod caused the fault. I’ve got the my emira covered in aftermarket plastic. Will this affect my engine warrenty? I’ll bet it affects only my paint warrenty.

I had the Lotus mech do the filter. It`s easy but very fiddly. Lots of bits to take off before getting to the box. Every time I try do something like this I end up with left over bits that I can`t find a home for. But I can tell you, for $79 bucks, it`s def worth it.

I had the Lotus mech do the filter. It`s easy but very fiddly. Lots of bits to take off before getting to the box. Every time I try do something like this I end up with left over bits that I can`t find a home for. As for the wheel torque, It`s 115psi, but best check the manual on that.

Don’t know. But I can say that for $79, the power increase and throttle response was quite surprising. If the eventuri is significantly better that that, then I’m in with u.

I know what you mean. That flat spot getting oof the line was really annoying. My car was completely transformed since the 3rd cat delete, and high flow air filter (from GRP was fitted). Don`t judge the car till you do this.

Are u happy with the nitrons?

Oops. I meant to write 10mm. Not 20mm.

You. You check the tyre pressures after a short track session and bring the pressures down to 29/30psi. Usually after 2 sessions the tyres will say stable at that 29/30psi range and function well. This advice assumes you ae running R spec tyres.

Yep. The HP bump is seriously felt. I would bet a weeks pay the 0 to 100 times would be seriously reduced. I am now happier to put it on the track to drive it with the timer on. I don`t think it would have been much point prior to these cheap upgrades. Make no mistake. These upgrades got me by...

Each upgrade was a significant improvement on the one before. The 2 together transformed the car into a hard accelerating car from low down to upper revs quite significantly. The improved sound did not create an intrusive inner cabin result. Anyone that has done these upgrades can chime in if...

Iv`e done the third cat delete, then changes the air filter to the GRP high flow filter($79). I can`t express just what a transformation it has made to the Emira. This is how it should have been delivered. Instant power and torque. I should know about this as I went from a 410 exige to the...

Yes. Got 10mm on all 4 corners. No probs with guards scrapping. I will fit nitrons soon and drop it 15mm without any probs. It completely got rid of that annoying initial front end dive when you turn into curves or corners. Get the 20mm bolts. Worth every penny.

Bugger. Thought you all would have been a bit more gullible. Looked quite nice though.

No. I traded my 5 year old 410 exige. I was daily drivimg it in between track events. Was going to keep it but knew it would sit there doing not much, as I doubt I would have used it in any daily capacity with the Emirs sitting next to it. Have not really thought about it since. I have a Fer 355...

Not sure you read my post properly. ps. Ive have a coupe of Ferraris, and when compared to my Emira and 410 Exige, they're pretty comparable.

Just ignore anything g Harry has to say. Watching his previous pods on the Emira, and now latest would make a good webinar for anyone learning about schizophrenia, and how it presents. As for vehicle support. Why don`t you try and buy a part from Ferrari that's 10 or more years old. They just...

yep

I wonder which one of his other cars is he going to sell when he has to change the auto clutch on his second hand Mclaren?

Yep. Make sure you have an exhaust flange gasket. The one coming off the current CAT is unusable.

Been using them a lot lately. What a great bunch.
