On my f- Goodyear eagle tires I run them at 31 front and 33 rear hot and at the top of second gear I feel the rear get a little squirrelly. What tire pressure you guys running at? On my Evora GT I’ve never experienced the rear want to come out but I was in Michelin 4s tires. Perhaps it’s the tire?

Just completed a first time trip to the tail of the dragon. 2k miles round trip from NJ and the car ran perfectly. Past the 5k mile mark already in the first 2 months of ownership, hot damn!!

For the most part it’s boring highway roads (we did midway stop at Pittsburgh which was really nice). I drew up alternate twisty roads on the app calimoto but it ended up adding 3 hours to the route and my wife wasn’t about that life lol

I’ve road-tripped my Emira from Indiana to NJ, then NJ to Vermont, and now NJ to TN. Currently at the tail of the dragon! I think as long as you don’t have tons of stuff it’s a great road trip car

Beautiful! What color is this? Dark verdant with a stealth PPF?

Sure since I got the car opening and closing the trunk was finicky. Sometimes it would open and others times it would get stuck whether I closed it soft or hard. Most times when I would drive and I would accelerate or hit a bump the red warning light would come telling me the trunk was open when...

Ahh, what about the trunk? Have you ever gotten the red warning light that the trunk is open? Might be worth opening and closing it to double check. My trunk latch was faulty and my alarm would go off bc of it

When locking the car, what if you hit the lock button twice and disable the interior motion sensor? I wonder if that can eliminate one potential problem. If it still goes off, at least you know it may not be the interior motion sensor

I use the battery tracker Bluetooth that antigravity sells for like $30. Lets you know the %, the cranking amps etc

Hmm no I’d say not like BMW or Mercedes but still good. REALLY good for a lotus. Doesn’t feel cheap if that is what your worries are.

I’ve used GEICO for my Evora a few years back (2018) when I got into an accident (I was at fault). Submitted claim, adjuster came out, really liked the car and thought it was unique. Not too many questions asked and I was able to fix it at a place of my choosing. It took forever to get parts...

Damn! WTH either that place has no business PPFing cars or that’s terrible bad luck. The way I look at getting PPF at a car dealer is they up charge the crap out the cost for a sub par, pre cut PPF that doesn’t look great since it’s 1/4 an inch away from the edges. Come to think of it, even if...

Im very well familiar with lotus and their battery drain. On my Evora I needed to do a little dance with it so it could start strongly. One of the first things I did was install an antigravity battery. With it, also have the battery tracker to monitor the % of battery left. This morning, after...

For those who have installed the eventuri intake, how is it!? Any issues? @Golden Parrot anyone else install it as well?

Did you do it yourself or how much did a shop charge?

Ahh, not a great review for those getting or wanting to get an automatic.

I’ve actually seen a YouTube video where a Toyota dealer actually does an oil change on an Evora. So it’s possible but highly unlikely they’ve never done one before so your car might be the guinea pig. Might be helpful to call Toyota dealers and ask around

These prices are freaking ridiculous. Can we agree that the average price you should be paying for an oil change in the US is $250-300? (Regardless of location. I live in NJ and it cost $260 from a lotus dealer). Everything above that price is too much and you should really think about doing...

Wouldn’t this be the software glitch that won’t allow it to start unless the car can connect to some server? As another member put it, it needs to connect to the mothership before it can start lol

Do you have a TSB that you can share? I’ve been told US does not have an fix yet so perhaps UK is slight ahead of US with software updates

I’ve hard quite the problems with my latch as well (posted in another thread). No matter how hard or soft I close it, it would set off the yellow or red warning light. And, sometimes I would need to use force to open it since it would get stuck! It even got to the point the alarm would go off in...

Take some pics of the before and after! Didn’t know this was possible to do. Assuming they need to add more leather or alcantara?

This oil thing is always a crazy topic of contention on any forum. In today’s age is there ANY oil that requires you to change it every 1000 miles? (Assuming no track days etc). Most oils say they are good for 7,10k or even more miles! You would think if oil manufacturers want more business...

Is there a way to set what pressure the light goes off? I think there is as mine warning comes on under 25 psi

Ah, ok would be good for someone who has made the swap to confirm if the wheel needs to be removed

You have to remove the rear wheel like the Evora GT? I didn’t see that in the instructions. When I did this for my Evora it was like 3 hours but I needed to remove the wheel and I didn’t think that was needed for the Emira

How do you like the eventuri?

Haha I’d second this!

Oh wow I would send that back for a redo! Seems like it’s not even close to the edge of the vents

What exactly is “lotus branded”? Do you mean that the PPF is being done from the dealership? Outside of a few small areas, I’m not aware of lotus branded PPF

Well I’m glad to hear it’s the subwoofer and there’s no other issue that we need to be aware of

We out there on the streets of Vermont

Where are you seeing posts that suggest that emiras are being sold at FE 1 pricing? (96k). Everything I’ve seen on all forums suggest that it’s FE 2 pricing (105k) and/potentially markup. I don’t think I’ve seen the FE1 pricing.

Amen brother! If you nitpick about every single about a car you’ll drive yourself mad. And, you really don’t want to be that guy that brings his car back to the dealer for every little thing…. That also takes away from dealers helping folks that have actual problems with their cars. This isn’t...

They’ll turn off eventually. If they don’t your trunk isn’t closed all the way!

How do you find the shifting from 2 to 3 not at redline? It took me a long time to perfect that shift. When perfected its butter smooth and not notchy
