    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Had a Subaru Forester of all cars driving in front of me, all the sudden his/her hands came out making a “heart” sign…😍…another situation at a traffic light, I thought the guy was starting an argument until I understood he was yelling “shut the #$%! up, what is this dude……you are blessed man...

    I agree on the Emira shift feel to be better then the 718 Spyder, especially after the short shifter kit. Especially the clutch/shift sequencing is smoother/more intuitive compared to the Spyder box….. do any of the tech expert here know what causes that low speed noise from the gear box on...

    EMIRA US PRODUCTION NUMBERS

    It would be interesting to keep tabs on total build count for NA market. I thought the VIn was decoded somewhere here, and the last 4 digits are serialized……I am volunteering my number to be just above 1200, which was surprising given I was one of the earlier FE1 deliveries, however LCF in...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Do you have a V6 or I4 given you are in China. I heard the rear suspension setup is completely different on the AMG, given its transmission, etc…..the offset might be different In the rear.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I am on Sport, can not tell much of a steering difference, and I certainly did it for the visual effects over handling improvements. Happily I can report though no adverse effects due to the spacers, so that is great. Highly recommendable, and considering the cost, all in with lug bolts less...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Wow, I have not scraped once yet, that is good to know and solidifies my current thought to keep as is……the spacers did help the optics, and it truly is perfect equal protrusion on all 4 corners…..I am OCD as far as these things go😂 You will need 42mm lug bolts, I got these from Amazon, perfect...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I was getting the car lowered….but I think I am leaving it as it is for now…..it is growing on me, and it is not a track car anyways……. Did you get the sport or touring setup?

    Installed wheel spacers yesterday….12mm all around, perfect in my eyes……got them out of the UK after a long search, like that they are not black, blends in nicely….shoutout to https://www.pcdparts.co.uk/ I got it on their ebay store…very reasonably priced👍🏻...

    Verified Emira Weight

    I think 3200 lbs is fine, it compares similarly to GtS/GT4/Spyder so right in the middle……and it ceryainly feels lighter by a couple hundred lbs

    Verified Emira Weight

    Aerie Ti Emira exhaust installation

    I installed my Larini exhaust, refitted the valve controller, and no issues, no codes. I understood the recalibration May be needed on certain systems if the valve positioning does not match OEM, which would make sense. Many users fitted Mikltek valve controller w/o need to recalibrate.

    Sluggish throttle compared to Demo a year ago

    Need a couple more weeks to hit the 1k, had been traveling quite a bit lately….but yes, I love to see the valve controller in action, as I think there is still a difference between sport and track mode regarding openess of the valve… I was not going to get the controller, as I would drive in...

    Sluggish throttle compared to Demo a year ago

    Same here, the decat I think makes a big difference. I also have the Larini exhaust, which reduced restrictions even more……I still might do a light ECU tune down the road, but probably wait until there are more options, including the US ones……

    Any concerns having PPF applied during pollen season?

    I would trust them with their expertise IMHO, after all work is warranted, and pollen are present in your harage as well as a professional shop. I am pretty sure they have some antistatic wipes/treatment they would apply before laying the film down, or it does not matter, honestly I would not...

    This is through LCF in NC, was a no brainer to me, the installer is Lotus certified, and included in the purchase price, so in case there is a warranty issue of sorts around paint, that they could claim is is PPF related…….

    Shout out to Lotus Cape Fear

    I can attest to LCF’s excellence in service as well. I worked with Shane H and Cameron. Easy transaction, excellent service. Had a bad spark plug, and they very swiftly sent me a courtesy plug free of charge or bringing the car in (2h drive) to register warranty work. FYI, if you are in a...

    Ride Height..... hence wheel gap....official answer

    How do you move the spring perch cup from one ring position to the other.
