    3rd Cat Delete and Valve Controller Opinion

    Too much throttle at the exit of a corner. Rainy day and Cup2. I know it's going to be slippery but didn't expect it. The ESC in the Emira didn't feel like it was doing anything. I tracked my GR Supra in wet before, and the ESC did a pretty good job saving my ass.

    3rd Cat Delete and Valve Controller Opinion

    VC and GRP 3rd cat delete ordered. I dare not switch to Sport mode in wet after spinning the car. Really need the VC to enjoy the sound in Tour mode lol.

    Seats and Footwell

    Yes. I heard from another forum member who has toured the Lotus Hethal factory. The seats are assembled by Lotus, so is the super charger.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I used a shipping transfer service in China. Basically, I bought a bunch of stuff and ship to their address, and they will pack and ship the stuff to me in the US.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Canada in Chinese is 加拿大;) But you will also need to check with the seller if they can ship internationally and the shipping cost.

    10mm hubcentric spacers

    I bought 12mm spacers from GRP. I think 2mm difference would be hardly noticeable by eye

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    @T6061 @RyanGphoto I bought the lights from Taobao (Chinese eBay) for around 30 USD link to the product. I'm not sure if there's any convenient ways to get them in the US. The installation is relatively easy. Just need to remove the door panel, pry the OEM light off and snap the new light in...

    Carwash experience?

    My cars have whole car ppf. During the winter rain season, it's very difficult to keep the car clean for long, so my RS6 goes through the automatic carwash from time to time just to keep it clean for a few days. I'm pondering if I should send the Emira through the carwash, but still worried...

    Carwash experience?

    I think although touchless car wash doesn't scratch the paint, stronger chemicals are being used to clean the car. It might shorten the lifespan of the ppf.

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    Thanks! I did some research into real vs fake oil filter. The ones I got should be good. The counterfeit ones are really poorly made. People should be able to tell the difference very easily.

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    I bought the oil filters from Amazon (too lazy to go to the Toyota dealer). It was mentioned that they could be counterfeit. Does anyone know how to identify if they are counterfeit or authentic? They look pretty good to me. :unsure:

    Very nice photo shots. Is yours lowered? I know you have 12 mm spacers fitted.

    Emira photos with different diameter wheels (20, 19, 18)

    Very interesting comparison. Look wise, I still like the 20/20 setup

    The worst part about the Lotus Emira…

    That would be ideal, but I imagine having a mechanism like that and passing all the safety standards wouldn't be easy.

    I had 15% on the side to match the privacy glass and 50% on the front windshield. But I eventually had the front windshield tint removed since the shop messed up multiple times... You can find more references in another thread: To tint or not to tint?

    Good choice! I pondered the spec for a long time before I finally decide. It was from Lotus Bellevue lol

    Very nice spec! I really loved the euro headlights without the orange reflectors.

    The worst part about the Lotus Emira…

    How about loading and unloading bigger items such as carry-on suitcases? I know the trunk doesn't fit, so for me it has to fit behind the seats. Would you still be able to do that with these seats?

    Lotus trashes fully electric future !!!!!

    But it all depends on what Lotus is able to source from other manufacturers. It will also be a big challenge to fit the hybrid system into the already tight engine bay.

    Thanks! I really loved the RS6. It looks and drives great. Plenty of trunk space. Although not the most reliable being the earliest model year.

    Lotus trashes fully electric future !!!!!

    The thing is Lotus doesn't have its own powertrain. Even if they want to go ICE or hybrid route, what power unit are they gonna use?
