There must be someone. I’m sitting at Gator right now getting my oil changed and there’s about 20 in the showroom or in service getting prepped. Edited with some showroom pics.

Maybe earlier, I hope!

What's your expected delivery date?

That's correct. Most valved exhaust systems on factory cars do that to reduce backpressure and potential damage to engine.

Yup. Luckily cell reception in my area is very good so I don't have dropouts. However, if I get too far out from the metro area, it drops and I have to resort to my music library. Annoying, but not a killer.

Correct. You’ll have to pick it up through your phone and CarPlay it.

I couldn't find it either. The only way I can stop it so far is to turn the iphone wifi off before I walk into the garage. Then I have to plug the phone into the center console usb to get apple play to start.

That’s consistent with how mine works. I’ve never hung around long enough to time when it stops. I just lock and the unlock on the fob and everything shuts down

Keeping it simple so I can remember it.

I started this thread yesterday just so you would think better of us! 😉 Thread 'North America, let’s give the Emira some love!' https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/north-america-let%E2%80%99s-give-the-emira-some-love.4596/

I was out for an aggressive drive this morning in the country. I’m sure I was grinning ear to ear. As I blatted along, I found myself thinking how much I love this freaking car. It is hitting all the right buttons for me! Super comfortable, great engine sound, lovely steering, simple...

3.5 hrs for a 1 hour job seems excessive. Are you sure you’re getting a regular oil change and not the happy ending version?

Are these direct fit replacements? I could stand to lose 30 lbs on a diet, but this would be faster.

I just checked Naples FB. Their last Emira post is March 18, as they are focusing on other things too.

I don't think they are being secret about anything. They seem to use their FB bandwidth to publish info on service or cars that are for sale. If you want to see Emira activity, you can check their website. Periodically they post recent sales. They have about 20 that posted as sold and...

I really like supercharged cars and have had several. Prior to the Emira, my Evora S was the last one I had. Then I had a string of turbo cars. Turbos are fun and like my M2C really can get up a head of steam. When I test drove the Emira back to back with my M2C, I felt like it might be...

I'm not trying to disagree, that's why I said that on an Emira engine I'd take it red-line on track (max HP and torque). My point was that for road driving, keeping the crank torque in it's maximum band is completely sufficient for everything you need. I think we are saying the same thing...

HP is actually a measurement derived from torque. Acceleration is based on torque (that's why I like to use it). HP is more about power produced over time thus important for top speed. The Emira torque climbs rapidly then is flat as a pancake after about 4500, but HP increases simply as...

I crossed my 1000 mile break-in so went out yesterday to play with higher RPM’s and Track mode. Quite a difference when you can keep the car in the power band. Plus the sound just gets better and better! Today it’s rainy here, so I played around with some info to educate myself on the best...

I just went to it. It appears to be active. https://www.facebook.com/GatorMotorsportlotus I have no idea why that doesn't display in English.....but it'll take you there. Or just search for Gator Motorsport

I don't think there would be 1000+ actual buyers in North America if they were losing sleep over the Emira's performance. Yeah they might want more, so they'll go out and buy a modification. What they won't be doing is pissing in everyone elses rice crispies because Lotus didn't make a car...

Well said! Gas engines are not just lumps of metal that always produce a rated horsepower and torque. They produce a max hp or max torque at or within a certain range of engine speed and at wide open throttle. That power is usually only producible on a dyno or on track. On public roads...

That’s not the headlight symbol. It’s always on indicating your DRLs are on. Doesn’t appear to be a way to deactivate the DRLs. At least the DRLs aren’t horrible looking.

I have the Sport suspension with Goodyears. I am currently experimenting and running F/R pressures 2 PSI below recommended. That was mostly to dial out a little understeer, but it seems to be good for general road feel, both back roads and interstate.

I ran at interstate+ speeds on cruise for the first time last week. The steering is very responsive but no issue with it being unsettled. You certainly feel road imperfections but not in a negative way. The wheel will jiggle over some surfaces, but the car does not pull or move. It tracked...

I took one. There are no internal mods to the engine. The transmission gets internal and external mods. .

I’ve looked at your data set. I’m very curious what you are seeing from this incredibly limited input to say it’s helpful.

Depends on what it will be used for.

This is interesting data, but speaking as a guy who has done a bit of statistical analysis, I can caution you that your sample size needs to be significantly higher to draw any useful conclusions. Also, your sample population is highly skewed toward forum/fb users and not the general...

You can set the units to either system.

The $3400 is just the normal destination fee in Canada $. There should be no PDI fee as dealers are reimbursed by Lotus for that service. The other freight? Are you picking the car up at the dealer or are they shipping to you?

I’ve been playing around with pressures, hitting the same roads to reduce variables. My main complaint was understeer in hard cornering. I prefer at least some mild oversteer. The last 2 days I’ve run 2 lbs under front and back. The backs heat up more so eventually it goes to about a 4 lb...

I've tried to find one before, but couldn't. So I just moved the PDF over to my iphone and can access through acrobat. Works great.

Yeah, the last 10 minutes of a BaT auction can get crazy sometimes.

Remember that a lot of buyers are not on the forum.

@Life411, I wasn't replying to you. I was taking issue with some over-the-top statements. That said, you've made your point. You'll get some agreements and some disagreements on your posts. In either case, I hope you soon get the message that your car has arrived!

I don’t agree. They aren’t under any obligation to disclose employees personal information to the public. Perhaps a better practice would be for forum members not to lose their s#!+ because a guy is out of pocket for a week.
