Are you all going to Galpin btw? David (tech) is pretty great, really knows the car...is an enthusiast

bump reminder there are two drives coming up this week: Friday in Malibu, Saturday early AM at Angeles - be safe everyone and post if you are going to either

the V6 is using a traditional hydraulic pump driven, the I4 is electro-hydraulic and the unit is actually in the front of the car and is much more assisted than the V6 version

This is common boilerplate language for most modern vehicles and comes from SAE guidance. In terms of seals, pumps, etc. the stuff that can get corroded, simply using normal gas in rotation to basically flush out the system is what you can do to keep everything tidy. It's over a longer period of...

also minor note, when I have my engine water temp showing through the OBD2 port it does not ever correlate with the number on the dash, usually lower around 10-15 degrees

water temps on mine are 185-200...usually 195 when I look down and this hasn't deviated with pretty hard canyon driving, maybe on track the temps go higher? - modern sports cars tend to run a little warmer this helps with efficiency

He has no neighbors, very lucky lives in gigantic property! I also think the car needs to be waaaaay louder, our 4C's were almost a menace to society lol

Normal, probably CAN noises waking up through amp/speakers

yeah it's not rocket science for the codes in region specific cars...either the replacement cat is high enough cell count that it is doing enough to be within range or its not - and the sensor extension is just far enough away to run cleaner without being too far away that the voltage reads too...

I just left dealer service, tech said Lotus is working on a DCT update...probably for this and other stuff

Shop had to install some custom hardware to attach the lap belts to my seat rails but otherwise super simple installation. Retains the normal 3 point easily. I usually run Willans 6 points but, thought I would be safer this time around and use proper 4 points that are street appropriate (I got...

ok let's move to 6/28 then, @mr.suntorytime can you edit to info please?

yes 4:30am Shell

@PatrickJS @F1 SML8R @mr.suntorytime + others: How about Friday, June 27? @cameracarspot can shoot us coming down from Newcombs If not let's do Sat, June 28 4:30am at Shell

OP @mr.suntorytime would you like me to create a separate post for a one off gathering or include here? I do not want to clutter your thread if you want to keep it clean -

Sorry I meant June 28/29 or weekend after that, Im overseas most of July

OT but...whenever I see this engine naked it blows me away the engineering miracle that it is. All that tech rolled up in a little ball of metal. The air/water intercooler blows my mind how compact it is packaged on the side. Crazy stuff

I'd love to get at least 4 or 5 of us out to make it worth everyone's time, and herding us finicky cats is always a challenge because...adulting lol. How about June 28/29 would anyone want to come out early? We'd meet at the Shell at the base of ACH at 4:30-4:45am. See incredible light, take...

I live like 15 min from ACH so there quite often! kaz.kang IG

These are my front rotors at only 3k miles, don't know the metal compound it is but they look more used and abused than I've seen my Girodiscs wear on my other cars

anyone know the cost of one stock seat?

Same

I am using Tarox Corsa pads on my Emira with stock rotors and fluid, and in the canyons I get some noticeable brake fade in about 15 min of hard driving, which is probably akin to a low intensity track session. Pads smell very toasty too when going hard. I have received but not yet installed the...

Remember the rear subframes are different (obviously) since they carry different engines and weights, even the rear wheels and offests are different between the V6 and I4...but we are assuming the delay and extended length in development has some linear relationship to the complexity of solving...

Unless there is some way to record this audio I don't know if anyone can help identify, the car makes all sorts of noises, even when it's off lol. Also which mode, under what situation (idle, light tip in throttle, full throttle, decelerating, etc.). Off top of my head I don't hear ticking...

your GPF is between the turbo and cat? ! I think usually in the US in other cars the GPF is the last in the sequence, and usually does NOT have a sensor on it. All we have here in the states for the I4 is the cat, but it's huge and my shop suspects the unit contains and cat and a GPF...maybe. I...

In my US I4, Miltek valve (open) with an exhaust and hi flow cat - we don't have a separate GPF: the exhaust I agree with both above the exhaust is for sound which is great, deeper, a little louder. However, once I added the sports cat/dp throttle response opened up and even louder. Butt dyno...

Payam we're installing everything in July, shop is busy racing for a few weeks ...but we are all super eager to get everything in and then over for a tune! love that it's all integrated very smart and convenient/safe

Does your cat use all 6 ports? We don't use the two DPS sensors here Can you ask Mach5 if they can send me their cat to test? Only one way to find out if it's really different right? I'll buy it if it works! (doubtful any cat will be any different but can try) And that is laughable that you...

For US I4 owners (may apply elsewhere but I have no idea) FIrst off, the manual is wrong there are not two additional ports on the stock cat which are labelled DPS (differential pressure sensors) we only have two O2 and two temp sensors. Both the GRP and the Aerie cats have 6 ports so you just...

I would love a super loud STUTUTUTUTUTU...but that's compressor surge and not good for the turbo...but sounds so good

you need to cut that green wire

looks cool in action! hrmm might have to do some rolling shots now...what were you in I don't recall seeing another Emira edit: i just noticed these are from Rednote...might not be you lol

The Tillets are not comfortable to me for daily use or long driving, they are just what they seem hard shell carbon fiber seats. They are popular with Lotus drivers because they weigh so little, you can change out your two seats and drop almost a 100lbs...which is a lot of weight. The Brides...

$650 I got this great battery from GRP. Barely used mostly for testing for a few weeks it's working 100% perfectly, showing full charge and stable voltage. Comes with two remotes for the battery. Great way to lose weight off a perfect place in the car...

...nothing surprises me now with this car, I thought my Alfa 4C was quirky but nothing compared to the Emira - mental note never leave keys in car, thank you for sharing hope you get in easily
