    Selling my Emira...maybe

    This is the data for all first editions (V6 manual + auto + i4). Very hard to say what would be the right price for yours because no data is available for a V6 auto with high mileage. A low 80s would probably be fair?

    DIY: V6 Burger Motorsports JB4 Installation

    (y)Mixing 100 gas with 91 or 92 gas to achieve 93 AKI is actually a good idea. This gave me hope to run map 2 where 93 gas is not available.

    V8 Emira being considered to replace V6

    I don't think this would come to reality because it would require a major overhaul of the overall structure and rear subframe. Doesn't look like Lotus has the cash to burn. Emira with a V8 would be a proper super car, but that would also require super car prices like $200k or more.

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    I wished there could a simple software tune that unlocks the 7200 redline. The JUBU ECU replacement is too expensive.

    Ontario Personalized Plate Denial - "Emira" is considered offensive by Service Ontario

    A quick search returned the following results: The word Emira has different interpretations depending on the cultural and linguistic context. In Slavic languages, it means "Princess", symbolizing grace, nobility, and elegance. In Arabic, it is derived from "Amira" and can mean "Commander" or...

    GRP decat pipe and Milltek Valve Controller

    Agreed. I went on a road trip with the VC off one way and VC on the other way back. Barely any difference in noise level. Majority of the noise came from the road and wind.

    The Break-In Period No One Talks About (V6 Manual, Sports Suspension, Cup 2)

    I was planning to do that but still procrastinating... It felt like the transmission had worked itself out with more miles driven lol

    The Break-In Period No One Talks About (V6 Manual, Sports Suspension, Cup 2)

    The shifter was a bit to clunky after I fitted the short shifter and was difficult to get into 1st gear. I was a bit disappointed but after 1800 miles the transmission felt much smoother. I think the break-in really did make a difference.

    Speedometer, Off?

    In my experience the speedometer is pretty accurate, difference only up to 1 mph compared to the GPS speed at cruising.

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    I checked with my dealer again, no fix from Lotus yet. But they think Lotus may provide some fixes to the complains from the customer regarding issues like this later this year.

    Love the peculiarities..

    Even with an OBD scanner you won't get oil temperature readings because there is no such sensor

    GRP decat pipe and Milltek Valve Controller

    The tone is a bit deeper and more bassy through the lower revs, and it opens up more in the higher revs. You would only get more howling sound at high revs.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Steering wheel center mark sticker and seat carbon fiber inserts installed. Really like the matte carbon fiber finish here.

    GRP decat pipe and Milltek Valve Controller

    I did the VC first and then the decat pipe. The decat pipe install was a PITA for me, since I struggled with the pipe expander. I think the VC made a bigger difference in volume than the decat pipe. But the decat pipe changed the tone and made it throatier. I can also hear more pops. Overall I...

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    Emira is still lighter than Supra. Manual cars are not the most consistent to launch. I wouldn't be surprised if the Supra wins in another go.

    Lightest weight track wheels

    I know some Chinese manufactures have magnesium wheels for a relatively low price. But they are not widely available on the market.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    JB4 seems like a very good option. But I would still prefer a ECU flash that can increase the redline, which unfortunately is not available yet.

    Anyone bleed their own brakes on their Emira?

    Wait, there are 2 bleed screws on each caliper? I didn't even notice another screw after I bled the brakes.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    93 gas is very hard to find around here. Would it be ok to run a 93 tune with 92 gas? Though I would probably stick with 91 tune just to be safe.

    911T vs Emira

    I thought about getting a 911 T instead of Emira before, but nowadays Porsche is going for crazy high prices, which I don't think is really worth it. 130k for a base Carrera and 140k for a T without any options? No thank you.

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    Most V8s on the market have gone turbo hybrid due to the latest emission standards or even downsized to V6 or i4. I don't think there is any chance that a NA V8 + manual can pass the tests these days.

    Increased cabin noise with 3rd cat straight pipe?

    I had VC installed prior to the 3rd cat delete. I think VC actually increased the volume much more than the cat delete if you have it always open. The cat delete makes the exhaust sounds deeper and throatier. You can also hear more pops.
