It's @Life411

Yep

M12x1.5x40mm I bought these titanium ones. Titanium is not necessary but I figured if I'm going to add the weight of spacers I should reduce the weight of the lug bolts. https://www.acerracing.com/collections/titanium-lug-bolts/products/bmw-titanium-lug-bolts?variant=31641839566883

I call BS When has a Lotus dealer ever known anything before we found out here on the forum?

Waaay off topic here folks. Let's not hijack @Eagle7 thread.

Very easy. There are step by step instructions on Eventuri's website https://www.eventuri.net/wp-content/uploads/Emira-V6-Installation.pdf Lug bolts are torqued to 105nm (77.4 ft-lbs)

Those engine covers feel and look pretty cheap. Not sure what purpose they actually serve. If we're "adding lightness" I may just put them in storage.

I've been considering an ERay. That's a really compelling package.

🤔 That's concerning!

No idea. It's just the feedback I received from other users when I asked about them. Half said they were great, half said they were troublesome. I'm assuming without the lip it may be difficult to get them exactly centered on the hub or the wheel center on the spacer. That's just a guess though.

You probably have a 50/50 shot of those spacers without the lip causing a vibration. On the advice of several forum members that tried that style and had problems I went with the 12mm with lip from PCD Parts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126093879482

@SONOFEMERY Are they GRPs style spacers without the lip?

Yes. I did all three at the same time. Technically you can do the controller with just pulling the rear diffuser and not mess with the under tray. But, I figured it'd be easier to do at the same time. No point in pulling all those bolts twice.

I have all three. But I can't fully answer your question as I have the valves open all the time and always in sport mode. With the valve controller, sport vs tour makes no difference sound wise. Sport changes throttle response significantly. It's definitely loud. It's very "busy" sounding in...

She definitely has more bark. I dig it!

I've never been able to figure out Homelink on any of my cars. I got Tailwind. It knows which doors to open and close automatically via each cars Bluetooth. Pretty slick 👍

I wonder how difficult it will be to replace the air filter in these 🤔

Greg, will you be testing your titanium exhaust too? I'm thinking about adding that to my setup. I'm really curious to see how much that adds to power in addition to weight loss.

Now I need to find out how much hp gains are added from the 3rd cat delete.

That's a fantastic result for such a simple mod. Glad to see my experience was real and not just perceived gains. Thanks @Eagle7

A lot of early delivery car owners were complaining about the brake dust. This is the only reason I got the black calipers and diamond cut wheels instead of yellow and silver. I ceramic coated the wheels and for the most part just give a quick wipe down on the face of each wheel after a drive.

Cheaper and easier to replace brakes than a clutch.

I feel there is a lack of low end torque for sure. 3rd cat delete and Eventuri's Intake helped with that. Going to add titanium exhaust at some point. I definitely feel that surge of power higher in the rpms as well.

Yeah, but ...Lotus 🤔

The ERay is certainly a compelling package. I contemplated one of those while awaiting the Emira.

I wonder if you could do that procedure without getting out of the car. Doesn't solve the issue but at least might make a little bit less of a hassle.

I use an air cannon. It moves significantly more air than my leaf blower. It does a really good job of getting water out of all the crevices. https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-air-cannon-dryer

Well that was disappointing 😕 Hopefully you do better with Manheim https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2024-lotus-emira-15/

Hard water makes sense. I have one of these "spotless" filters on my hose line. https://crspotless.com/products/di-120-med-output Works really well. For the most part I try to use water-less wash or a quick detailer to keep the dust and light dirt off. But sometimes you just can't avoid using a...

I too had a bit of trouble with the battery cable. What I did was to remove the airbox bolts (yes they are 10mm, not 13 as in the directions) and coolant lines first. Then slid the airbox away from the cable instead of trying to pry the cable away from the slot. Working my way through the...

@Barcino2012 Did you need to install longer bolts for these?

Does anyone have @GRP 10mm spacers? Do you experience any vibration? I'm concerned about them not having a lip.

Yep. Push L & R at the same time. Lifesaver for getting between the posts of the lift.

Eventuri's hose isn't drastically different from the OE hose. I suppose you could just use the original hose instead with Eventuri's airbox.

I have the 3rd Cat Delete and Milltek's valve controller. Thinking of doing @GRP titanium exhaust next.

Nope. Easy access from above.

Installed Eventuri's Intake today. Super simple install. Less than an hour with basic tools. The induction sound is intoxicating!
