Great thread. 👍🏻 I see there is no service interval for the supercharger but there is both oil and coolant. This seems a bit mad and especially regarding the oil, so I’d like to ask what everyone else intends to do?

Sorry I missed your post originally m. Did you manage to order a new one because it seems either a glitch or another dumb issue by Lotus?

Less than $34k I think was a bargain for something looking that good that was in a film. Image a 6 car garage/workshop with a bar above and a car lift taking that up to floor level. Sitting with your mate having a beer with a prop from Rush in the room. 😎

My understanding when I asked the dealer is it opens to the set amount depending on throttle and driving mode and not variable. I can’t see variable would make a noticeable difference unlike inputs from the throttle sensor. I have never seen an aftermarket tuner like APR taking advantage of...

I have used them on a previous RX7 with 3rd party glass and it looked like new OEM. Just email them and get them to reply stated it will be exactly the same as the OEM spec and get a reply before you agree. I find Lotus often ring with updates instead of email which makes me suspect and put it...

Can I ask why you changed your mind? Shame you are not in the UK.

It was a good point that was made everyone recommend what they bought which is human nature. It’s like me saying Miltek exhausts sound the best when they are all very similar depending on the configuration such as headers or cat delete. I’m still waiting for the first person to get the JUBU DCT...

I guess regardless of whether they are 8k or 13k it is stupid money for a set but it wouldn’t surprise. In 2015 I nearly bought an Audi RS5 and was told the 19 inch wheels were £1200 each. Pretty sure the newer model that came out went to 20s and could easily of been £1500 each in 2018. Either...

What is it for? Seems a bit of a feeble material to have and be exposed to the elements. Surely it will soak up water when washing and bad weather?

Take it back to your dealer so it is at least logged. At least if it gets worse you don’t have the issue of them saying you had an issue you didn’t report. If I speak to them in person or on the phone I always back up the conversation by summarising in an email.

What is the difference between the GRP filter and the one in the Eventuri system?

I would 100% discuss this with a dealer even if they are not local. Delivery times change on a monthly basis but 14 months for an exact specification would be a bit optimistic. If I had the choice of getting a car in six months with the wrong tyres or steering wheel or waiting two years I’d take...

I hope they give you a full refund.

It is truly an impressive dyno printout with smooth curves. I’m not sure I’d want the full power only in Track mode because all the driver aids are switched. I live in an area with lots of country road with a good mixture of straights and bends and traction control is very useful.

I worry when companies don’t reply to my emails. For a replied to my emails quickly but didn’t even know they were showing picture of 4 different splitters and thought they had 3 for sale. They also had no idea how much clearance each one had a gave different measurements for the same one. Aerie...

That sounds like a great idea but I’m not sure Lotus would want it described as having that, like having faux leather. I’m sure the Porsche owners would love to pick up on that when comparison reviews are made. 😂

Surely there to be something because it makes it so much easier of the PS5 having controllers already.

Surely that must be a render because I can’t it being drivable being that low?

You could ask your dealer to pay but that would have to be agreed in advance. It isn’t just Lotus cars that issues as many top brands have the same quality control issues.

Hi Warren Are there any special fitting requirements to use the 380 disc instead of the 370 OEM six discs?

I make sure I don’t eat and drink in the car and love the alcantara on my steering wheel. I make sure I wash my hands before driving my car and it’s staying pretty clean. Once a year I make a very weak solution of washing up liquid and water to clean it. I use a white towel that doesn’t shed...

So what is the best driving game to get with an Emira for PS 5?

I’m in Nepal at the moment and the internet is so slow their site wouldn’t load. Great to know there is a solution which I’m going to explore.

I’m with you there Jon but decided when I bought the car I’d only do about 2-4K miles a year so just gave up on the mileage and enjoy drive.p I can see why car owners chase those top end numbers, especially at an event like Vmax. Personally I wouldn’t do it due to the immense street it put on...

I recently looked at a 488 with front end lift that allowed the car to drive with the front end raised to suit poor road conditions like speed bumps or driveways. This is something I have never looked into before but if it were an option for the Emira I would have considered it. Does anyone know...

Blimey that is some list of cars you have had and I wonder how long you will keep the Emira. Are you looking at doing any mods or have cars like your R8 put you off?

It was the wrap company that suggested it or it wouldn’t look like there was a stripe going over the black gloss roof. I was very impressed with the GRP 12.5mm hub centric spacers that not only give it a better stance but it also makes it look lower than the 15mm drop I did when I fitted the...

I’m away on a work trip so can’t pick up my car until the end of next week. Here’s some photos from the pod company.

Even though I love the V6 if I wasn't going auto I would want a DCT modern gearbox and therefore I would either buy the i4 or buy a manual and have a JUBU DCT conversion using an Audi unit.

Man, that is butt ugly and must have cost a fortune to make as a one-off. Unlike Lotus to waste money. :ROFLMAO:

How can Lotus say the body panels are covered from corrosion? That's like saying the plastic filler cap or tyres won't corrode?
