Emira of the Month worthy!

A well-deserved win! 👏

I'm not sure, but it's worth asking them! The Lotus event is completely separate from this track day; it just happens to be the same weekend, so they are trying to get as many Lotus on the track as they can on that Sunday. I think they have a Lotus parade lap for those of us attending...

I think a couple of spots are left if anyone wants to register for the COTA track day on Sunday, September 29th, through ChinTrackDays.com. https://chintrackdays.com/event-details.aspx?q=i89iBF4ZMRU%3d The event is only open to advanced racers with previous experience, so if you haven't done...

My Advantage Backyard Buddy lift is in! The install went smoothly and I’m loving having a lift again!

Thanks for mentioning this because I was leaning towards the yellows.

Yes, unfortunately. My dealer is exceptionally picky about warranty claims, and if they didn't install new OEM pads from Lotus, they said they would void my warranty on the braking system. So I figured I would let them do their thing, get my car fully run-in (I only have 500 miles on the car)...

Dark Verdant

After waiting a month for OEM brake pads, I finally got her back!

That's awesome! I look forward to meeting you and hearing about some previous LOG events.

Right on! It will be nice to meet you in person.

I'm all registered and ready to go! Who else is going?

HOT BREAKING NEWS! LOG 43 is pleased to announce that Russell Carr, Lotus Director of Design, will be attending and speaking at LOG43 in the Austin TX area at the end of September 2024, this information is brand new and not on our Website yet. Additionally, please be reminded to register ASAP...

A great way to start off this contest! 👏

I want to do that, but my Lotus dealer won't cover the installation of those pads or warranty the brakes if anything else comes up if I go that route. I only have 500 miles on the car, so I want to run it in and ensure everything is working correctly. Lotus has been very picky about warranty...

FYI - brake pads are on backorder with no ETA. So, my Emira is just sitting at the dealership waiting for who knows how long on one silly brake pad. :cry:

This is great to know! It will be interesting to see what combination of parts it takes to get under a weight to power ratio of 8.

My Emira is stuck at the dealer for a fractured front brake pad because these pads are now on back order with no ETA. Is there another good option that cross-references with the OEM pads that I can suggest to the dealer? I would like to go with the EBC YellowStuff pads, but Lotus won't cover the...

That sounds like a good plan! You've got some great mods planned, and I'm anxious to see how it all turns out. That reminds me that I need to weigh my car before modifying it so I can have a baseline number before the mods begin.

I would have guessed you would do the cat delete just to shed the excess weight. Aren't the performance gains with just the cat delete comparable to the intake? Also, I don't think the sound changes much if you stick with the factory valve control. My understanding is that the cat delete really...

Are you planning on adding the cat delete pipe after you get the intake installed and dynoed?

Interesting! It looks like it's still making power up to redline, so raising the rev limiter would probably be beneficial.

That's a solid baseline number! I thought the Emira redline was closer to 7,000 rpms, but it looks like it actually cuts out at about 6,720 rpms. I assume the car was in track mode for this dyno run? Would Sport or Track mode give any more revs over the standard Tour mode, or is it the same no...

Launch Control not being covered by warranty reminds me of when the Nissan R35 GT-R first came out.

I love the license plate holder! It looks very well thought out and executed well.

Unfortunately, it seems as though the trend has continued over here.

Is anyone considering getting the new Bugatti Tourbillon? It seems like a proper car for a watch enthusiast. https://www.bugatti.com/the-bugatti-models/tourbillon/
