    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Just washed the car by myself for the first time and took some photos with my camera. Thou it's park in the garage with very limited angles for shots.

    Carplay volume glitches with driving directions

    Haven't had this issue so far. Maybe resetting the infotainment would help?

    Lightweight battery

    I was thinking about the same battery from Amazon. Looks like it's reasonably well built.

    DIY: Manual Clutch Slave & Brake Fluid Replacement/Bleeding

    Yeah good call but I poured all the new brake fluids into the pressure bleeder so I cannot top it off anymore if it went too low. 😂

    Track talk modifications

    Just took my Emira to the track first time yesterday. Here are some of my impressions so far: - The car drives super well on track. As a track novice I did not push it too hard. Very balanced chassis overall. It did tend to understeer but not too bad. - I tried both Sport and Track mode. The TC...

    Emira GRP Third Cat Delete Pipe and Milltek Active Valve Exhaust Control Install Video

    I just finished installing the 3rd delete last week and had a very hard time with the installation. My GRP pipe is smaller than the cat pipe, so I need to follow the expansion process. First, I had difficulties expanding the GRP pipe. It was about 2.95 inch wide while the OEM cat pipe is around...

    DIY: Manual Clutch Slave & Brake Fluid Replacement/Bleeding

    I just replaced the brake fluid myself last week too with basically the same tool, but I skipped the clutch cylinder because it was very difficult to reach. One thing that confused me was I cannot tell the brake fluid level in the reservoir with the cap on. At the final step when all the new...

    Clucking sound interior over bumps

    I noticed some squeaking noises when going over bumps. Sounds like it comes from the seat but still could be exact of where it's coming from.

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    I'm about to bleed my brake fluid before I head to the track this weekend. Good to know that I have to bleed the clutch slave as well.

    Diamond Cut - Curbed Wheel

    I curbed diamond cut wheels on my RS6 before. The wheel shop had it repaired, but they can only paint over the machined surfaces. The cost is $200 - 240 for each wheel.

    Damage to PPF

    My RS6 had a damage on the front quarter panel and I had a shop replaced the ppf. It was $1400 for the removal and installation. £100 seems like a super good deal.

    I wished the 3D printed rock guards had come out sooner. I already have carbon fiber ones installed :(

    Exotic Car Owner's Code of Conduct

    R8 is essentially Lamborghini Huracan/Gallardo without fancy pants. I don't see any reasons it can't be a supercar. I'd say only V10.

    Exotic Car Owner's Code of Conduct

    Emira doesn't qualify as a super car. I think the entry-level super car is Audi R8.

    Track talk modifications

    As a track novice I'm having my first track day in my Emira in less than 2 weeks. Some mods I've done: - GRP dry intake filter - Milltek valve controller - GRP short shifter - ZL1 Addons tow hook Mods to be done before track day: - Castrol SRF brake fluid - GRP 3rd cat delete - GRP 12mm hub...

    Planted seat brackets

    Does this work with OEM seats? How much lower can it go compared to the stock bracket?

    Lightweight battery

    I'm considering a lightweight lithium battery from Amazon too. Seem like they have good reviews in general and less than half the price of antigravity.

    Nice spec! I have silver wheel and caliper too, which is a rare combination.

    Time for new tyres/tires - What are the new options?

    I have cup2's on my Emira - very slippery in the rain, but I haven't experienced hydroplaning much. Need to be careful with that.

    Paint issues? Does Your Car Live in a Garage or Outside?

    I saw people say that Lotus had fixed this problem, but apparently not. 🤦‍♂️

    Paint issues? Does Your Car Live in a Garage or Outside?

    I think the paint bubbling issue is only seen on early production cars

    Lotus Emira "Accent Highlight Pack" complete

    I think the rendering looks like gloss black accents but in real life it's more like satin dark gray.

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    Status update: I thought the rattling noise was fixed by the short shifter but it's not. The noise is still there but behaves slightly different from before.

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    Thanks! My car has only done 1200 miles so no need for brake pad replacement yet. I just don't like the weird transition from weak to strong initial bite of the OEM DS2500 pads. The brake dust is also crazy. I would prefer harder pedal feedback and liner progression. Btw the EBC pads go from...

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    I'm a track novice and will only do a couple of track days per year. 90% street and 10% track. I'm hoping to get better pedal feel and less brake dust. I've been looking at EBC YellowStuff and Rotara H6. My friend also recommended Ferrodo DS1.11. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    DNA Tuning Stage 1 Obd Tune?

    Haven't seen anyone done that yet. Based on the specifications I can find it doesn't seem like the GT4 has built engine internals, but it does have a dry sump.

    2025 Pricing

    My car as spec'd increased from 110k to 114k which is not a huge difference. But I'm already paying a FE2 price premium 🙃

    Make some changes on the steering wheel and the Mirror!

    I've been contemplating the carbon fiber mirrors too. Where did you get these? How do you like them so far?

    Puddle lights in door

    I removed the door card for the installation. You don't have to do that but it's easier to access with the door card detached.

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    I came from a GR Supra 3.0 manual with 382bhp, and I felt the Emira is slower than the Supra despite being lighter and more powerful (at least on paper). Turbo charged cars have peak torque at very low rpm, so it feels the engine is pulling harder through the usable rev range. From the dyno...
