I just found an older OBD II dongle in my shed, bought it for my M2, never used it and forgot about it. Now, owning a Lotus, it's good to have one... And I will store it in the car... It's a Vgate iCar II and as an app I use Car scanner for iOS. That worked flawlessly today. Car scanner also...

It depends on the lighting conditions, right before sunset it gets more of an orange tone to it like in this picture. In the sunlight it looks more like @eriegz posted before.

Thank you, this Yellow really glows in the sun, I just love it!

Thank you so much, I forwarded your post to my friend. And some more photos from my trip to the Dolomites. Filling up some gas on the way, and finally here driving in this beautiful scenery. And it keeps delivering so much joy. First time I really flored the pedal and I have to say it‘s fast...

😂 I exactly know what you mean, without softtop it’s fine. I might sell the hardtop though. :D

Nice two car-garage! I also still own a VX220 Turbo, that’s a good match! ;)

Thanks! I will let him know, further non-Emira related videos on his youtube channel: @https://www.youtube.com/@SpeedsterIG Thanks! Keep trying to be positive, although it's hard right now. Better times lie ahead and all will be sorted finally. :)

Yes, I hope so too. I still can't believe it but I have done it and it's here now. Hope there will be a lot of nice journeys and experiences to come. :giggle: Freu Dich drauf, das Teil ist einfach göttlich in natura. :love:

What a joruney this has been since July 2021, from the first presentation of the Emira to February 2022 at Sportivo Leipzig seeing the "rolling prototype" in the flesh ut until now when I collected my own First Edition V6 manual Sports suspension Emira. During all the time this forum has kept...

And a heavy pig for all that fuzz like carbon tub and all that jazz. 1707kg or 3757 pounds measured, it's 220kg heavier than the Emira: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a39538831/2022-maserati-mc20-by-the-numbers/ But I agree, it's a beutiful car and at least one guy of throttle house...

You’re welcome! Some more „real“ ones I like. :)

Slowly it is getting real, if registration works flawlessly then next week I will pick it up with a friend of mine. So maybe there'll be some footage to come picking it up. Probably with a big smile on my face. It's been a long journey until now. :sneaky:

It has finally arrived at the dealer. :)

Just have a look at this tire review: From 15:00…16:30 min he talks about the Goodyear Supersport. I think Lotus made a good choice with this tire. :) And then there is the new Conti Sport 7*, which shall be the new benchmark, I had the Conti Sport 3 on my M2 and it ate the rears within an...

Well, tuning mods were some kind of short ram air intake from the US. In 98 I was in Atlanta for a kind of school exchange and I got to know those magazines like Sport compact car and the likes. Then I was sold and into modding with short shifters and all you could do to these little pocket...

That’s a great story! And my first own car was also a CRX (EE8) back in 1999! :) I loved this car, in black with black leather. Of course with Mohr exhaust, Borbet wheels and Momo steering wheel.

So this means OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500? :sneaky: Very good pads for spirited street use!

What do you all think about the Alcantara trimmed seats? Will they show a similar behaviour or won't it be a problem as Alcantara has a more elastic behaviour?

True, but everyone is raving about how much weight the Emira gained against it's predecessor. And I just wanted to know how much it actually is. It's more like knowing it and be able to counteract in order to solve this "problem", just for my own mental health. :LOL: And I already have the...

Yes, it‘s the ceramic material used and how it’s been done that caught me, Speedmaster is a classic. I really like Omega, it’s probably „my brand“. Also have two Certinas, which as brand I also really like. This one is still on my bucket list:

My dark side of the moon, already five years with me. 😊

I'd like to see what your Emira puts on the scales! :) Any chance weighing it with a full tank of fuel? 😌

So, who is it? Is it JB or JayEmm? 😜

As there are more and more Emiras delivered to customers, has anyone further already put the Emira on the scales? Preferably with a full tank of fuel? I would like to get more comparable data. Much appreciated! :)

As this is CAD print I think what you refer to as primary cat could well be a flex joint which isn't shown properly (only outer dimensions for digital mock-up). I assume this as there must be a flex section in order to compensate the engine movements. On the picture above you can almost see...

Yes, absolutely true. You could also call the primary a "pre-cat" and the secondary the "main cat". I think it derives from the EU3 (Euro 3 or Euro 4 emission standard it was), which made it necessary to have a cat installed nearby the cylinder head in order to heat up within 60 seconds to...

Yes, it is. It's a different way of counting, probably more "right" than talking about "third" cat, because of it's V6 nature it has on every cylinder bank one primary cat and after merging these two exhaust paths there comes the secondary cat as Komo-Tec refers to. Technically the exhaust...

Komo-Tec now offers 3rd cat delete, too: https://www.komo-tec.com/en/lotus-emira/v6/exhaust/994/secondary-decat-pipe-for-emira-v6?c=1015

Great info! What is the weight of the catalytic converter, the scale does not show it. ;) And what is the weight of this stainless steel cat delete?

Yes, you are right, of course. There is some irony hidden in between my writing. But hey, why not trying it? Can‘t get any worse or can it? ;)
