IIRC, the Connect ones have some gizmo in them to connect to an app on your phone. For pressures and temps, I assume.

Michelin Pilot Alpin are listed in the handbook but they’re not on Black Circles yet. We won’t be needing them this winter anyway, the way Emira delivery times are slipping. 😡

The LTS marked Goodyear Eagle F1s have popped up on Black Circles. Rears £267, Fronts £230. Seems a reasonable price to me. If we ever get a car to wear them out! For comparison, Michelin PS4S in correct size (but Porsche fitment) are £317 rear, £252 front.

Yup. BOE. 19mm drop. Looked pretty good but verging on being too low for my everyday use.

Just like an Evora… Ask me how I know.

She looks under 50kg so she’s allowed in the boot.

You sure you haven’t just missed it? This was the show car that I saw in September ‘21.

In V1 of the manual it said “1000 miles (1500km)” Did someone mis-read that? And 1500km is 932 miles, so that’s the number I’ll be using!

This. While it’s good to know there’s someone alive in LCC, this just smacks of laziness.

Is that comparing apples and pears though? Wasn’t the Evora 400 before the new WLTP testing regime.

I had a Exige 350 with the louvred tailgate. Found this one winter’s morning when the wind was from the right direction… The Emira’s engine will be just fine.

Looking at the maintenance guide, there appears to be no mention of a 1000 mile run-in service. Lots of other modern cars seem to have done away with this. Wonder if Lotus have too?

Pigeons flying at touring height have been confirmed by Lotus Customer Care to be soaring at precisely 5mm higher than sports pigeons.

Good spot. That’s what I was hoping it came with. My Evora came with items 5 to 9 from this: Something similar would be enough for me.

Something we need to find out is what the car will come with as standard. Every Lotus since forever has had some protection in front of the rear wheels (”shark fin”). My previous Evora had this and also some on the vulnerable areas of the sill and bottom of the door. Anywhere that a stone...

Unfortunately (for me) it’s only The September Eight. I was only September build for a fleeting moment. Last update was I’m part of the October Massive.

My Evora lived outside 10m away from the power point (too far for the cTek extension cable). My method was: Fly leads to the battery. Connect charger but put it on top of the supercharger so you can see the state of charge through the glass without having to unlock the car. (Hope you didn’t...

Wow! WTF. WT actual F. If that turns out to be true, it’s pretty nuclear. Everything that’s been said about LCC would be true. With knobs on.

I posted this one back last July. Didn’t get a laugh for some reason…

My last email says “October production“. No mention of November delivery. So I’m clinging to the hope of the implied October delivery. Fully prepared for that hope to be cruelly dashed, like all the hopes before. 🥲 (June ‘21 deposit, although not sure how relevant that is anymore)

Emira battery, from the now-vanished handbook: Type. Platinum AGM096E Voltage (V). 12 CCA (EN). 760 Ah Capacity (C20). 70 Size, L×B×H. 278 x 175 x 190 mm £95 aftermarket...

This is the VIN decoder for the Evora. The Emira should be very similar (with a new model code at #5/6)

Um. I think it might be more complicated than the Evora. That has a simple open/closed vacuum valve but the Emira has a more complicated, continuously variable, electrically operated valve.

eVora? They had to make it different from Evora when they went to the Series 2. Maybe the new car (that’s not an Evora Series 3! No, it’s not! Don’t dare suggest such a thing! ☝️) will be eMira.

Cheers Tom. So Emira Tour will be a bit softer than my old Evora 400, which re-confirms my choice of Sport for the Emira will suit me as I found the 400 a bit too soft. Btw, do any other pedants like me think ELSR is a typo? 👨‍🎓 Should be ERSR - Evora Rear S(port) Right to fit with the code.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I’ve posted this before to help with understanding the hierarchy of Evora suspension. The Emira Tour setup should be like the VFB in the above, the Sport like the VFS

I’ve said before on this thread that full payment 30 days in advance cannot work. What if you have a trade-in? Do you hand over your V5 at 30 days? What about finance? Deposit at 30 days then start monthly payments immediately? But if you’re a cash buyer you hand over £80k and wait?

It’s still “lying” though, isn’t it. Giving the impression that it’s a car about to be presented to customer #1 but it obviously wasn’t. We’re all getting a bit fed up with the bullshit, and are clinging on to the hope that we will still love the car. Unfortunatley it will be despite the...

Nope. That’s not how ved works nowadays. Only costs extra at new car purchase. After that you’re into the fixed rate with the +£40k luxury tax surcharge.

🎼 We know Major Tom(E)’s a junkie. 🎶 (Well, he does have E in his name) 🤪
