That would be a dope campaign for lotus! What a miss. “Worth the wait” #lotus

To me, 3rd cat delete is where it’s at. Completely changes the sound of the car and it’s how it should have come from the factory. The valve controller is just the icing on the cake. Gives you the flexibility to put it on a setting (eg valve open) and forget about it regardless of the speed or...

Anyone here track their Emira? If so, did you track the car 100% stock or did you upgrade parts? Particularly interested if you changed out the brake fluid, pads, tires, etc.

Yeah you should always lock your car. Even in good neighborhoods you can get robbed! By the way, as long as the cars are not inside in the car, the Emira will automatically lock its door

I have sport suspension with Goodyears, but, on my Evora GT I had the cup 2s. The cup 2s are really only worth it if you track the car and are looking to get the best lap time. If this isn’t what you’re into, you’re better off getting the Goodyears. The cup 2s will literally wear out in 7500...

Just taking out some cones during autocross 😂

I wouldn’t worry much about it. You would literally be getting 98% of the old oil out and replacing it with clean oil.

It may be different in California, but does the DMV inspect your car before titling it? In NJ, as long as you have the paperwork, it’s good to go. When you go to inspect it, they’ll check emissions etc but it fails it only fails inspection, not titling. If the DMV office is giving you a...

2 hours!? I thought it was more like 30 min

It’s super simple to just disconnect the old battery, disconnect the old battery and slide in the new one. The hardest part for me was to trim down that black cover piece to fit the pig tails of the new charging cable

My lotus dealer that is part of a local subaru dealership always gives me a subaru loaner.

Wow what is the f1 noise!

Take a look at other polls with a similar poll. I’ve had my Emira for 3 months and Nataly had a few minor issues, but none that stopped me driving. I currently have over 5,700 miles on it and it’s perfect now. My dealer in NJ is only 30 min from me so it works out nicely for me.

Nah, it’s not difficult at all. I used to change my Evora oil all the time.

Don’t need one bud! A set of ramps are all you need.

I used to have a 996 which is not as good as the 997 but gives you 90% of the experience of a 997 and can absolutely say the Porsche is MUCH more muted than the Emira (especially with the 3rd cat delete). The Porsche was refined. From the speed, to the shifter, the exhaust, it did those things...

What do you mean held the starter?

Interesting results. When I compare the results to Greg’s for the Emira (https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/grp-intake-shootout-dyno-testing.4979/) HP is for the Emira is much higher. Is that par for the course given dynos are not all the same? The torque being a bit higher for the Evora GT...

Not me. I press it every time I go for a drive as it improves gas mileage.

I agree with this. My mind immediately goes to some sort of software issue that affects the car during the start up process. Fuel cannot be the issue.

How many miles you guys have in yours? Has this been a reoccurring issue since you got the car? I have over 5500 miles and haven’t come across this yet. I usually fill up at BP, 93 octane

Like other commenters suggest check the settings to see if for some reason they reverted back to factory settings. Mine randomly went back to bar (instead of PSI) for the tire pressure lol.

How much water are we talking here? I’ve washed my Emira dozens of time now and when it open the trunk to clean/dry it, there’s only a little water ends up on the engine. Most of it ends up in the channels

Track mode does not turn off ESC. When you enter track mode, in the bottom right corner of the screen you will see an option to turn off ESC completely. By holding the button down for 2 seconds it will turn off ESC completely

What are you considering for mostly street and occasional track use?

Yeah dropping gears is what I meant. Logically it makes sense to blip the throttle but I don’t see too many people talking about it

Lots of good info here. One question on downshifts, I know you blip the throttle when downshifting to match the rpms to the engine speed so it’s less wear on the clutch, but, do you guys blip the throttle when you want to accelerate and pass someone as well?

The milltek controller controls the valves to open and close them. When put into track mode, the car idles louder due to the engine mapping. The milltek doesn’t control the engine idling so I don’t think it’s possible

Gentleman… I crossed the 5600 mile mark since I got it 3 months ago. Ahh!

Took her to the first autocross. So much fun!

1000% I have a Shepard and he sheds like crazy. The 5 packs from Costco are clutch

So cute! How are you getting the air bag light to not go off? Plugging on the seatbelt?

It’s entirely new software. The Evora barely had a radio. The Emira is trying something new with trying to come into the 21st century and is not doing too well 😂

My car didn’t through the 2099 codes but it threw the below. Interesting your dealer said it was o2 sensors. My dealer replaced all o2 sensors and all cats and the car had been good ever since. It’s been 1500 miles since.

instead of “Tillet” being on the seats, is it possible to have lotus embroidered instead? That would really make them look OEM

Why did you not like the good year tires?
