What are the timings for this meet? ie, how long are folk likely to be there

There's the Newlands corner Lotus meet once a month (I think it was last Sunday). Quite near Bell & Colvill. Tomorrow there's a generic breakfast car 'PetrolHeads' meet at Runnymede, near Egham from 9am, till midday, I'm going, plus a Seneca Blue Emira and his mate in a GT3RS.

Agree. It's all a bit too 'Revvin Kevin' for me. It's a thing of elegance just as it is.

Update from JUBU. "Hi John, We have worked intensively on this topic and have come up with a solution for the OEM Emira. We were able to modify the software with our P&P Syvecs kit, so that 440hp can be realized without hesitation with all OEM parts! This kit includes a plug & play version and...

Interestingly, the JUBU 440 makes the same peak torque, and does so through a good chunk of the rev range, so in reality, without messing with ratios & stuff, that 440 is going to pull just as hard in each (std) gear as the 460. only in that very upper rpm would the 460 be any better. If you...

That's seriously funny! Bravo :)

Ah, ok, thanks for the info 👍

The 440 kit looks good, and potentially 445 with decat pipe. Looks like they’re listening to customer questions, as all of that relates to what I’ve been asking for. Maybe similar with a sportcat 200 replacement. I will go to 460 at some point, 500, cant afford or justify

As I understand it, the manifold cats are set close to the ports, and designed to warm up very quickly on startup so its clean from virtually cold. Once warm, the main (3rd) cat does it all. There is no GPF on Emira. Well not the v6 anyway, Dunno about the 4 banger.

I think the cats in the std manifolds are just warm up cats, no sensors either side. The replacement of the main cat with the 200 cell sport cat should, I think be ok for emissions

I'm on a flight to Portugal 1st thing tomorrow morning, if it can wait till thursday when I am back, I can do it then.

Not in a position to measure, but have had them out a dozen times, and would say 40mm long, and yes, M12 x 1.5

460 all the way, yes, but the pull will be declining, as the twisting force actually getting to the wheels is reducing with every extra rpm. It is what is I guess. I see that if you have the wonga, they will now build you a 600hp. But that must require an altogether stronger gearbox as well.

Shame, it won't be pulling quite as hard in those latter stages. I guess they must have their reasons. A cynic might think that if the torque stayed flat @ 500ish nm, the HP produced at 7.2k might be a bit too close to the very costly 500hp upgrade. Or am I just a grumpy old bugger?

This is how a rev limiter should work / sound!

Tyres turned up :) Complete with the 'LTS' specific markings. When you look these tyres up, there are 7 versions that I can see of the Eagle F1, all with differing economy, noise, and wet performance figures. So it really aint just about choosing a generic make/model/size, the vehicle specific...

A Leaf sprung Army lightweight LR? You're clinically insane! Sorry, but anything you say moving forward, will have to be ignored.

I wouldn’t be so concerned about the gearbox, if it wasn’t for the Quaife LSD. These are quite metal-to-metal mechanical things, and I feel sure that they’ll produce some level of metalic contamination of the oil, especially during the early bedding in period. A magnetic drain plug is really...

I’m not an Additives person, but frequent (at the very least, twice the frequency of factory schedule) oil changes are I believe priceless. Factory says 1st lube service at 10k miles! Bugger that. Did my first oil/filter @ 1300. Had intended to do 1st gearbox oil then also, but on getting all...

:) Very good. And I always thought German humour was no laughing matter!

Well I can only report my own findings. The car has started, and run faultlessly every turn of the key, cold, hot, whatever. I'm 1800 miles in, so far.

Update. OK, so still trading emails, as it's quite confusing to me, the various options from JUBU. I got this from Martin, but again, it would require some physical mods, which at this stage (of my factory Lotus Warranty) I don't want to do: Hi Jon, yes we will send the kit by post and you...

Only just picked up on these lyrics :) Very good (y)

I run mine on Shell V-Power all the time. it's never missed a beat.

It's all in the thread, you only had to read through it. This firm was found originally by Cayman09 on here. https://tzxinmai.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-930921914/Forged_Wheels.html?spm=a2700.shop_index.88.19.4fe45af0mTxtvi They do literally hundreds of styles and sizes, but those 458...

I meant manual rev matching

Yeah, and that would take some fancy sensing. * May have to continue doing it myself!

That's exactly what Emira does. It doesn't display selected gear, until you let the clutch fully out, including neutral. As soon as you dip the clutch, the indicated gear display disappears. So just some clever maths going on.

No one wants Chav gun shots! (except for Chavs I guess. ..for the merkins here, a Chav is a bit of a redneck) Jubu say that the ECU supports automated rev-matching, but I'm not sure how that would work with emira. Surely it would require the gearbox to inform the ecu what gear you're in /...

You mean a bit like how the jap bikes used have 'Kickstarter' cast into the casing around the kickstart shaft? :) Showing my age. Another one I love, are those millions of chinese (covid) acrylic face masks, with 'FACE MASK' embossed across the front, just in case you didn't know what it was.

Here you go...

Me neither. Other than in a collision with a kurb or some similar impact, I've never seen a wheel fail under normal use/dynamic loads, however spirited the driving. It's a road car, I aint Mario Andretti, and have no delusions about my skill, I just wanna enjoy my car, and how it looks /...
