    Larini exhaust users?

    I you don't care about the weight savings, the valve and 3rd cat delete are the way to go. Power gains with the cat back exhausts are minimal. I wouldn't bother with anything other than a ti exhaust if you do buy one for these reasons.

    JUBU Group Buy 15% discount

    These dyno results were posted from a JUBU ECU installation by a forum member earlier in this thread. JUBU limits torque (Below 500nm) to preserve the pistons based upon their extensive experience with the motor but there is some risk any time you tune. It certainly appears that they delver...

    Lotus Evora vs Emira $ per car

    There's very little difference in weight between the Evora and the Emira but there are signifiant updates to chassis refinement, comfort and styling both inside and out. It would have been nice if the Emira came out of the box with 430 horsepower and a 7200 rpm redline like the uber limited...

    Their heavy duty valve springs would be a nice complement to the higher redline that’s enabled with the ECU.

    That's an impressive result! Even considering that results can vary between dynos and other environmental factors, JUBU appears to conservatively represent their packages. It also shows that the 6800 redline is holding the car back. It is tricky to compare to other dyno results that have been...

    Two New Faults Today - Reversing Camera and Parking Brake

    My back up camera and tilted mirrors stopped working at 2200 miles. It turned out to be a loose position sensor cable. Easy fix under warranty during my first oil change.

    Exhaust Options Index

    That's good advice and what I'm doing as well. The Milltek exhaust is stainless steel so the GRP exhaust will be considerably lighter. Roughly 18 lbs.

    GRP Intake Shootout Dyno Testing!

    Yeah, the gains are pretty modest and favor the intake based upon the charts we've seen and I don't know how much of an adjustment the factory ECU could make over time. My take is that a tune would be required to take full advantage of the bolt-ons and that would open up a lot of additional...

    GRP Intake Shootout Dyno Testing!

    While we wait for the more detailed results from Greg on his follow up dyno testing, the chart below shows his dyno results with the exhaust and decat with both the stock intake and the new GRP intake. The exhaust and decat alone appear to add about 5 hp and 6 ft lbs of torque. This comes from...

    Just locked my build - Canada

    It's a solid spec and you'll love the car. I would change to the Alcantara headliner because I think the technical fabric will be a downgrade but wouldn't change anything else based upon the needs you shared.

    Emira Criticisms vs. My Experience

    Porsche has had its share of problems too. The M96 and M97 flat six-cylinder engines used in 911s, Boxsters, and Caymans between 1997 and 2008 frequently experience IMS bearing failure. I sold my 2014 GT3 because I didn't want to own it out of warranty after the well documented engine failures...

    Battery chargers

    The charger was listed on the sticker as an included item in the US. Mine was shipped about a month after I picked up the car. Check your original sticker and see if it's there. It does seem to vary by geography.

    Emira Headers/ Tuning

    I'm on the same page. I think Jubu will get everything sorted but I'm waiting for validation that the tune is truly plug and play. There's huge performance upside with the V6 but it depends how far you want to go while under warranty, how much you want to spend, etc. A built bottom end with...

    To stripe or not to stripe?

    Are the paint issues fixed yet?

    I haven't had any quality control issues with my car but it was a recent build. Based upon the polls I've seen on the Lotus various forums, the problems cars are in the minority although there have been issues. I think it's a good time to buy an Emira.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Nice, I like that there's no branding on the carbon fiber. Which manufacturer is this?

    Exhaust Options Index

    You’ll get a different tone if you add the full GRP exhaust and reduce weight as well. The 3rd cat delete with valve controller makes a huge difference at a minimal cost. Both good alternatives.

    Exhaust Options Index

    That's all you need to get the sound. Jury is still out on whether there are any power gains to be had with a full cat back exhaust but I doubt it. If there were gains to be had, the manufacturers wouldn't be keeping the good news a secret. If you want power gains, you'd likely need headers...

    Porsche ends combustion engine in 718 Cayman/Boxster in 2025.

    No one can say what the future may hold and everything is subject to change. The fact that Porsche has limited production to the GT3RS for 2025 when they previously offered base and touring alternatives with manuals is a significant development for those who want a new manual GT car. At the...
