    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    I have a 718 Spyder and the Manual Emira FE, still in the Break in period on the Emira, so can not make a full performance comparison, but I agree you can not go wrong with either choice. I think you get more reliability and less depretiation with the GTS, however from a handling, styling and...

    Emira Full Handbook

    It has interim written all over it, and in running in, it states the sport and track exclusions……..interestingly under warranty, if you ever use launch control, no warranty……..not sure if that would be legal as it is an endorsed feature of the car….

    Lotus Emira Gifts Arrived for Patiently Awaiting our CARB Approval (now expected by Mid March 2024)!

    Same here…but very nice pen, even made in Germany, that was surprising and the notebook made in Italy. I really liked the lanyard and keyfob attachment, one less thing to buy

    Keeping the car in Tour mode for the 1000 mile break-in

    I am of course adhering it fully by Lotus recommendation 😉, for what its worth though, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl that he enjoys using the sport mode from time to time, but does not exceed the 4k...

    My Emira | 1 year and 5400 miles update and thoughts on my first service

    I just fitted the Larini with 3rd cat delete. The pipes are not in the center of the valance tips, but very close to the bottom, almost touching the bottom of the valance. Center left/right is perfect. It is not really noticeable, and do not think it will cause any issues, but just wondering if...

    In NC with full PPf, side window tint, deliver fee, tags and taxes $106,795.- minus the $2,5k deposit…… We only pay 3% hwy tax, little perk that the ppf and window only gets 3% this way, instead of 7% sales tax😉

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    Fwiw I find PPF on dark colors, and prone to swirl marks necessary, so much less concerns when washing. ceramic is a great additional protection especially for ease of drying spotless, but can easily applied for a few bucks yourself. So do not see that as a decision as it is less the $100.- at...
