    Emira Exhaust Upgrade?

    Awesome job! How do you like it in comparison to just the 3rd cat delete and milltek? Worth the money? Can you share your thoughts?

    Emira 3.5 V6 manual vs Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 Spyder

    Is the GT4 that much faster than an Emira? Don’t they have similar numbers? Albeit the GT4 costs ~40-50k more after options

    Lotus Emira DIY jacking points / under body view

    I ran into the issues of trying to use a floor jack to lift the car but then not having the space to squeeze a jack in there. If you look under the car, the car has frames all along the side of the car that you can use to jack up the car and squeeze the jack at the jacking point

    Anyone planning on driving their Emira through winter?

    Yep that’s exactly what I do. I don’t go out when snow is on the ground but after a nice rain the roads are clear. I usually am OK with ~30 degree weather but below that I try to stay in

    Anyone planning on driving their Emira through winter?

    And just like that I woke up this morning in NJ and it was a chilly 45 degrees which reminded me winter is right around the corner. Around this time I often contemplate do I tuck away my fun car for the summer or do I put on all season tires and drive it like it’s meant to be driven?? Life is...

    Emira V6 Rev Out

    I owned a GT for about 2 years and it’s the same thing. Just as it’s getting exciting it’s cuts off abruptly. With time (and mods like the 3rd cat delete) you’ll learn to get better at shifting right before cutoff. Not to mention you can do so purely based off of the sound

    My Emira $hit itself again…

    What does the obd2 say the issue is?

    Check Engine with P2099 Code

    Put an obd2 on it to see the why. Likely bad o2 sensors

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    That’s what I’m saying. I live in NJ and am about and about in my emira every weekend and yet to run into another one! I don’t really do cars and coffee but I am sure another 1 or 2 will pop up there

    Removing factory seat and installing Tillet B10-tips and tricks

    Nice write up. Did you only have the driver side by pass kit from GRP? What happens with the passenger side if there is no kit connected? I am assuming it’s just the warning light at startup

    P2098 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean

    I’ve driven like 500 miles on bad o2 sensors on my Emira before they were changed out by the LOL. The dealer said it was fine to do that until the new sensors showed up

    Emira Exhaust Upgrade?

    Dang, in addition tot he weight savings, i would think that TI exhaust would make things sounder louder and better?

    Dang! 94k steal at a dealership is a steal.

    SOS Function?

    When I first got my car I got that message all the time even if I drove it every few days. Was told by the dealer it’s due to a small SOS battery that goes dead even the car is on a tender and there was no fix. After a few dealer visits for other issues I THINK that there was a software update...

    RB Performance Brakes is a Supporting Vendor!

    Awesome! Thanks much. One question for the street/spirited pads, would these be OK to use on the track once or twice? Of course not having the same stopping power as the track pads but wanted to see if they were OK for an occasional track day.

    RB Performance Brakes is a Supporting Vendor!

    Sweet! Are the street/spirted pads available yet? I noticed on their website you can add them to cart but I recall them saying they were about 6 weeks away from releasing them

    New Emira SE announced

    Huh? So basically saying you have the option of going base 360hp or get the SE that has 400 hp?

    Wet weather

    Cup 2s are teribbleeee in the rain. I’ve read about horror stories with any rain so when I had them on my Evora GT and it rained, I chose not to drive the car that day

    Instant weight loss and no strict diet with Tillett Seats!

    The resistor from GRP is only for the drivers side, correct? I don’t believe they have released the passenger side bypass kit.

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    Nice! I know there are a few vendors that are trying to make some pads for the Emira as there is not really a market for them right now

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    Who else has tracked their Emira on a stock setup? Debating on whether one should change ‘almost new’ brake fluid.

    Water running into drivers footwell after washing the car

    How are you washing your car? Pressure washer? You need to be very careful around the window seals. Normally I’ll take a step back when washing around that area and very quickly pass it with the pressure washer to clean it. I don’t aim it directly at the area where the window meets the roof...

    Emira Exhaust Upgrade?

    It allows you full control of the valves. You can rode around with the valves 100% open all the time. Current setup even in sport the valves only open at 4k but with the controller it’ll be open even below that

    So disappointed with Zinc grey ...

    Color is super subjective. I think chalk on a p car or zinc on the lotus looks great and wouldn’t mind getting that color. But it’s whatever floats your boat. I had a dark gray on my Evora GT and really liked it. I switched to Seneca blue with the Emira for something vastly different. Some...

    Lotus Emira Appreciation Thread

    A lot of times we log onto car forums and complain and complain about the things that are going wrong with our Emiras. But what about the awesomeness that the Emira brings to your face when you drive it? Tell us about what makes it great! I’m closing in on 7k in a few months of ownership and...

    Goodyear or Michelin durability ???

    I believe you’re supposed to run the rears at least 3 psi more than the fronts according to the door jam. I wonder if this accounted for the crappy behavior

    What tire pressure are you running hot? seems unusual to me

    Goodyear or Michelin durability ???

    Get out of town! I know the Goodyears are not pilot 4s tires but are they really that bad on track? What temp were you running at and were you pushing 10/10?? This is the first time I’ve heard of this as this is a summer tire and they recommend not running them below 40 degrees Fahrenheit like...
