    Yes, we learned about anti-rotation back in 2005 on the Elise. Our first bar lacked it and Joe Marko, Schroth USA, pointed out the potential problem. We immediately redesigned the bar and created the 4tress Harness Bar - see below. Those additional brackets kept the main bar from rotating...

    Anti-rotation has been engineered in. We actually have two redundant mechanisms that will prevent rotation. You just can't see it in this picture. We should have a 'final' design into the car next week. The secondary anti-rotation idea is fairly novel - I don't believe it has ever been...

    3rd Cat Delete on Emira – Is the Milltek Valve Controller Really Necessary?

    Yes, as this third cat is post the O2 sensors. Technically you are messing with the emissions equipment which is not legal. I would be surprised if any inspection includes taking the rear of the car apart to inspect. FYI, these third cats are installed to add longevity to the emissions...

    Transmission Mount Bushing Insert Kit

    The install is not insignificant. We have an Emira here with the rear clam off and even then, it is a time consuming job. How many hours were charged to those of you who paid a shop to do the work?

    3rd Cat Delete on Emira – Is the Milltek Valve Controller Really Necessary?

    No, I cruised on the highway for hours testing both open and closed. No problem. Our Emira Decat pipe now comes with a gasket and hardware so bolts on easily.

    Driving an Emira on track is something that is a joy. But for some of us, a harness to hold us in the seat, becomes an important upgrade to really feel in control. We have begun designing a new harness bar for the Emira and would like feedback from you. We know we are late to this party but...

    Behold! My “OEM” style white wheels! —To match with my vintage stripes

    I love white wheels. One slight trick it to make the wheel all white with no silver lip. This helps trick the eye into 'seeing' the wheel as bigger. Nice job!

    Luggage for Behind-Seat Shelf

    I fit my roll aboard into the back of an Emira on our H2R2 road trip. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course it helps that my seat is not all the way back!

    My Alignment Results

    Yes, all Lotus are very sensitive to alignment. Yours was way off. I always tell people to get their cars checked - whether new or used. Glad you got it corrected.

    I had the chance to drive the V6 and i4 cars back to back on the same roads during our H2R2 event with Lotus Detroit. What an amazing time was had. We have a few Emira on the run as well as Evoras, Exiges and Elises. My pledge brother brought his Seneca Blue Emira - he is hooked on Lotus now...

    We started out developing parts for the Elise/Exige and then moved into service as our clients asked us to support them. We developed many bits for the Evora in fact we just tuned an Evora GT to well over 500hp....we are working on the Emira ECU and should be able to sort similar results.
