Agreed 100%!

I think there’s a sense of nostalgia for the Evora 400 and GT (2017+ Evora) here in the United States. There was appreciation for both cars when new in the automotive press, but it seems they are now being held out as “the last of the analog sportscars”. I think in reality there’s not that much...

Understandable. But I don’t think you’re going to get an answer with any degree of certainty from forum members. It’s probably going to vary a lot from dealership to dealership, what problem you want to resolve, etc. I have read horror stories online of people getting warranty blacklisted for...

By law they have to. Paint and power steering have nothing to do with the mods you listed. I guess they could try to deny warranty, but I don’t think Lotus USA customer service would be very happy with a dealership that did that. Also, it behooves a dealership to do warranty work- they get...

3rd cat delete- unmonitored cat, should make absolutely no difference in how the car runs, requires no tuning JUBU ecu- I don’t know enough about this to comment, but I doubt they’re going to want to mess with a non-stock ecu if you have engine issues Eventuri- no tuning required to run, but...

Great job on the design! Your wheels manage to look unique and at the same time like they were designed specifically for the Emira (as they were)! Most aftermarket wheels look exactly like what they are- wheels designed to look cool but not to compliment the design of any specific car. Y’all...

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Very enjoyable reading! Would you mind doing a write up for either or both of the GT350R / GT350? I feel like that car is a kindred spirit to the Emira in a strange way.

Sure looks purrty.

If I had the wherewithal, or if I were even more financially irresponsible, I’d love to have a Boxster Spyder next to my Emira in the garage. Not even necessarily the newest one. Top down, NA engine response, I think it’d be a fantastic companion to the Emira.

Cool! No muffler? How loud is it?

The upside is that the service manager at Lotus of Dallas, Gio Ortiz, had been great and is being very thorough with what’s going on with my car. Also, Myrna, customer service from Lotus USA, was an absolute rockstar helping me set up the tow to the dealership. If anyone from Lotus USA reads...

My car is currently at the dealer getting a similar issue resolved as I’m typing. Briefly (there’s a long, long saga I will probably write up someday for the forum), I was driving my car on a Sunday afternoon when everything except the engine went “dead”. Instrument display, ICE display, door...

I reject your facts and double down on my ill-informed opinion. The 911 is an enormous boat of a car and a shadow of what it used to be. The Emira, despite weighting around 3,200 lbs., is a razor sharp featherweight!

The 911 (which I have admittedly never driven) is a big car now. There's just no way to hide size when it comes to cars. The wheelbase has increased 7 inches since the 993. Amazing!

When I was a kid reading Road & Track, and all the other car magazines, all I focused on was power numbers and performance stats. Now that I can actually drive a car, I completely understand how those numbers are largely irrelevant. It's about how the car makes you feel. I haven't had the...

…and nimbus is exactly the color everyone wanted until the “FE2” colors were released and then everyone wished they could have picked Osmium Silver. #3xEOTMwinningColor #doPeopleStill#?Imusually10-15yearsbehindTrends.

It probably won’t, but I think it’s harder for a car to achieve that level of admiration today. There’s much less cultural interest in and awareness of automotive hobbies in general, than there used to be. I have seen it change even in my short 40 years here. In American any way, it may be...

Interesting! Tells us more about the intercooler you installed.

Dude? Where are you buying your clothes from? How sweaty are you? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHILE YOU DRIVE? All black clothes- are you an undertaker? Steve Jobs’ ghost? Maybe it’s not the best car for you. Just kidding! That does look horrible! Maybe the leather didn’t get some finishing chemical...

NOOOOOOOOOOO! That looks like Osmium with Ice Grey! Too close to home!

I have ice grey, and I did Gyeon about 1000 miles in. No problems with dye transfer, but I haven’t worn brand new jeans or other clothes with bright dyes either. No problem keeping it clean, just wipe it down if something makes a mark. I’m glad I went with the light interior. It makes the...

Frustrating, but I’m glad you weren’t stranded.

Man, ain't no denying! And it's one of the less-popular color choices...

Nice. If that were full PPF, that’s a great deal.

I don’t know whether or not this is still policy, but for a good long while Dallas, Texas would not prosecute those who stole "necessary items" up to $750. I certainly have sympathy for someone who feels they have to steal food or baby formula to feed their family; I have no sympathy for...

I don’t get angry at someone who wants to test the law, as long as they don’t crow about it when a court finds them guilty. Figure out a way to save tax money legally as the law is written? Cool! Don’t blame the guy that figured it out, blame the people that wrote the tax law. Doing something...

Fantastic! Cal-en-dar, cal-en-dar, cal-en-dar!

Thank you very much!

Good morning y’all. I have to get my car towed to the dealership, and long story short, I need the front tow hook/eyelet. Problem is that it is in the trunk, which I cannot open because the battery is dead. I will save the long story of what went wrong with the car for another day, I am just...

Meridian blue gets my vote for best dark color. Black looks cool too, but I haven’t seen enough photos to say if I like it better or not, so Meridian it is!

It certainly wouldn’t make that space any hotter.

Do I hear re-designed diffuser and lower balance with center exit exhaust?

Interesting design. I wonder how much difference in power it will make. Going back to my Mustang days, an X pipe on a V8 would typically make a bit more power, but an H pipe sounded "better", meaning more throat and less rasp.

Second vote for 3rd cat delete and valve controller! I don’t think it’s easy to compare exhausts based on YouTube clips of different systems on different days in different condition on different cars. The Valvetronic video does sound great, though! I think if we Emira owners knew who the...

Somehow that makes it way cooler than a $375k Italian sportscar. It manages to be more accessible and rarer at the same time.

I refuse to mount a front plate. That’s committing a crime against style, and the victim is everyone on the road passing by my car. I won’t have that on my conscious.

I’m loving mine! Sometimes I think it’s silly to spend what I did on a car. Then I drive my Emira, and any doubt disappears!

If I could choose any color, or paint to sample, I would pay it. The cost of a true OEM/factory level custom paint job is just beyond what I’d ever be willing to pay. Plus, I trust virtually nobody to take the car apart and put it back together again correctly, which would be necessary to get a...

$10 says it’s the spacers. Your car looks awesome!

You know how I know you’re a car enthusiast? This. Existential crisis over the authenticity of exhaust sounds. I didn’t give thought to this before, but now I do, thanks to you, and it haunts me. Then again, doesn’t everyone suspect they’re a phony, on some level, deep down inside? Can’t we...
