    An Owner's Review (1500 Miles on the clock)

    Concur with you on the tires. I went through two sets of the 4s last year (different car obviously) and overall is a great tire in many conditions. While I would prefer to have Cup2 for the track, I'm ok with loosing 1-2s to save $500 :-) It helps that I get a decent discount through my...

    Punchy and Loud

    I did not use the pipe extender. I measured before hand and the delta was less than 1/32nd. After install, on one side there was a very very slight gap ... enough to slip a piece of paper into part way. I left it as is for now. The hardest part for the VC was fitting it into the recessed...

    Punchy and Loud

    Just completed three mods ... have to say the car sounds SOOOOO much better and is more punchy (I think that is the best way to describe). It might be a placebo effect but it definitely seems to just hit a bit harder. Pulled out the stock CAI and replaced it. While I like the 'looks' of...

    Insurance Options for US Market

    I have 7 so does help provide discounts for multi. Am super happy with the rate on the Lotus looking at some of the 2-3x that others are paying .... feel very fortunate.

    GRP Titanium Exhaust Coming In HOT!

    Chev did the same thing as you have to remove the bumper to remove the tips on the C8s. Not terrible but definitely a hassle

    Seats and Footwell

    I've been going out every day or so trying to make small adjustments each time to see how it goes. I can tell you after LOTS of 30-60m drives I think I've experienced most possible configs :-) I cannot get 100% comfortable like I can in all my other cars, it is really bizarre to me. At this...

    Temp on dashboard - 200F ALWAYS

    Funny as I was thinking the same thing. I'm still in the break-in period so easy driving in tour mode but it's always 200F. Today was sub 50F outside and it dropped down to 197 for a couple secs but then right back to 200. I realize it's normal but I would have thought it would have a lower...

    Emira Car Covers

    Thanks @Time2Fly for this as it is still valid. Ordering from the UK and even with shipping + whatever small import tax (if there is one) will still be less than the big US brands. I have several from Coverking/covercraft and even their BF sales are $400+

    Importing Question into US

    Well I'm lucky, I have to setup a brokerage account and pay all the extra fees associated with it. So, if anyone is interested in buying anything from Jubu that needs to ship via Freight (i.e. larger carbon fiber parts) then I now have an account to use :-0

    Importing Question into US

    No I didn't but thanks for providing a reference. They sent me a document to setup a power of attorney and setup a broker account to process the shipment.

    Importing Question into US

    I wanted to ask those of you who have ordered from Jubu and was shipped via UPS. I've talked to a couple people who told me they paid a fee to customs and that was it. I'm asking for anyone to give me great details on the process as UPS has my order and want me to setup a broker account with...

    Seats and Footwell

    probably not as there isn't much room :-( I wear size 11 shoes so I can't wear my normal shoes as it's just too crowded down there but I do wear my minimalist running shoes which is similar to a driving shoe (thin soles, fits the foot closely). This still doesn't help though I got a silly...

    Alcantara Steering Wheels?

    It's a personal preference and I like how it looks/feels. I have three cars with it and three cars with leather. I make sure my hands are clean to maintain the alcantara. No problem keeping it clean and if/when I need to, I can use the kit from colourlock. I like both options and happy we...

    📓 Journals Track Journal- JDK's DV Emira in PNW

    nice job, even with the hiccup in the carousel you had a 52. You'll be at 50 in no time. My best is 48 in a C8 on 4Ss so a 45 is impressive!!

    Wow, I can't believe of all the cars I've been in during my life, these are the worst seats 'for me'. For reference, I'm 5'10.5 (yes the .5 matters :-)) and 160lbs. Fit guy normal build. Did a 6hr drive this weekend and two things really stood out that made it very uncomfortable for me...

    📓 Journals Track Journal- JDK's DV Emira in PNW

    ORP is one of my favorite tracks, like it better than the ridge ... like you said, very technical, off cambers, elevation change, good run offs, so much fun. Headed there soon but still waiting on Emira so will be another car. Will keep an eye out at those tracks for you

    Lotus Dealer Meeting in Austin, TX?

    I was just at COTA for an event where we got to do 'laps' but since it wasn't an HPDE, the track wouldn't going over 50. So maybe something similar with this. It is painful wanting to drop the hammer and you are just putzing around the track

    2025 Model Year Emira?

    I have a friend getting the auto and he also has the email stating MY25. He was told the car has been built and I think has shipped so arriving soon like others have stated. He asked the dealer about the year and was told it is MY24 and Lotus will not provide any response about why the change...

    Two bad things

    Auto Racing Helmets

    I have a '23 Z06 that is my primary. I have another 350Hp manual that I track also but it doesn't give me the 'thrill' that the Z06 does. I will definitely take the Emira out also and see how it performs ..... It can get addictive If you're looking at Simpson or Hans and certain helmets, I...

    Track Night in America - Fun or Crazy?

    It depends on what you want to get out of the event ... if just cheap track time then is ok. I've done alot of SCCA TNIA and here are my comments - if you run intermediate, then it can get crowded because many people don't want to run novice. But is a safe env as you are limited to certain...

    Exhaust upgrade on v6? You need to know this (real life experience and Lotus dealership input)

    only if the manufacturer can prove the mod caused whatever issue you are trying to cover under warranty. Magnuson act protects us here in the US. They can't deny just because you put something aftermarket on. Believe me that they will try and I've seen some crazy examples where they tried to...
