    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    The scrubbing sensation is the Ackerman effect due to geometry, the clunk is something different

    Now $105k in the USA. I’m not seeing the value

    Evora is lovely in isolation but the emira is 😍

    Come on, eye of the beholder and all that but that's 25k of extra fine ass right there Like comparing jLo to Lizzo!

    I'm assured by both my dealer and lotus themselves that this is normal 😳🤷🏻

    Just talking to my exhaust mod guy, obviously he's never done one, I'm right in saying there no opf/gpf ?

    i4 power

    It was on the test track so I guess there's a chance its not the finished article but wasn't good at all, just a strained 4cyl noise with a slight whumpf on gear shift.

    i4 power

    It's only ½ tank of petrol lighter due to the heavier gear box. Tbh though it's all becoming a mute point since I heard an i4 at Hethel 🤣😬😬

    Has the waiting list pretty much evaporated?

    Absolutely no fault of your own but you can imagine how bat shit this drives people that have had a near 2year roller coaster of being promised cars, over and over

    Another option is to just order Maclaren blade silver, they're not just close they're identical. I work in printing (on metal) and I'd love to test the two colours on the xrite, pretty sure they'd pass manufacturer standards

    PPF or Ceramic

    The paints incredibly soft, you'll need minimum front end ppf, ceramic won't help for anything other than cleaning. Never know anything like it for chips. Mines going in on Monday

    I've ordered some mixed to the reg number but it hasn't turned up annoyingly as I wanted to just touch them in before ppf

    📓 Journals @ nimbus_emira_v6

    Let's talk about the paint, specifically nimbus, the finish I can't fault and the colour I adore, but, if you're thinking of running one without ppf you'll be repainting it every year if not 6mths. It's incredibly soft. Mines in for ppf next week, knowing this I've been really careful, following...

    Has the waiting list pretty much evaporated?

    Seems to be a huge amount of people on face book groups that have only recently put deposits down, some as recent as a few weeks ago, and are being asked to lock their spec in for build in the next few months. So there's no real waiting list for a v6 fe now it appears.

    I had no problem dailying the porsche buckets tbh. I'm pretty flexible though 😁

    Baggy seat base

    Sat in these in my mates m3 touring last week, really nice seat from bmw.

    Baggy seat base

    I'm not so sure, the carbon buckets in my porsche had Alcantara and that was a little creased and saggy tbh, had 16k mls on it

    Baggy seat base

    I wouldn't say there's much in it tbh, the base if those ferrari buckets is quite well padded, really comfortable seat.

    Baggy seat base

    I imagine the diamond stitch might help a little, my rs5 had the same pattern

    Baggy seat base

    OK so more of a direct comparison, my last two porsches have had Alcantara so not relevant ( although i could reference the half a doozen new porsches with leather ive bought over the years) but in recent years I've had a brand new M4 and rs5 and neither of their seats have looked anything but...

    Baggy seat base

    Bit of wear nothing much to say they're a deep sided bucket and 12yrs old. I'm going to guess at that age the emira seats will look worse

    Baggy seat base

    Well the seat base on my Ferrari carbon buckets was fine after 20k mls but maybe I need to go more high end 🤔🤣

    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    No it's definitely not I can feel that as well, this is more a definite one off clunk than the akerman juddering

    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    Any one had it? Not the Akerman effect from the tyres, this is an audible clunk slow maneuvering with full or near full lock on. You feel it through the wheel as well.
