Evora folks use the “European” one. Not sure if we have the same.

They both use the same fluid and share the same reservoir. Different purposes but same hydraulic principles, you press a pedal and fluid actuates something at the other end (caliper or CSC) Think of the CSC as an extra caliper. Here’s the procedure for the Evora...

Clutch and brakes share the same reservoir so in theory you should first bleed the clutch when bleeding brakes.

Don't get me wrong, the valve controller fully opens the valve which makes the system louder across all modes and RPMs, so there is value to it. I just think I like to get a little bit of all the noises the car makes, vs drowning them in exhaust noise. I only really open the valve for "rev it!"...

If I were to do it again I would prob do 3rd cat delete only and no valve controller. I feel like intake/supercharger noises are lost to exhaust noise below 4k rpm if the valve is fully opened using the controller. I mostly keep mine in OEM mode.

tons of info in this thread, but yes, @Aerie offers forged options of all their parts

great summary! it seems there is also an added under bumper lip of sorts

I usually don’t like colored accents but man that looks really good! Are you going to paint the calipers to match?

Technically it’s from Aisin but they are part of the Toyota group so I still think you’re in the clear! 😅

I appreciate the shout out! Japanese characters are a nice nod to the Toyota engine and trans so no crime committed!

Awesome, glad you got it sorted!

You can add thinner to the testers enamel paint to thin it out

Correct, plugs to the end of the harness that would normally go to the valve so ECU is happy. All you have to do is figure out how to keep the valve physically opened all the time. Some people tie it with wire, you can also weld open. I confirmed with a friend he used the SOUL controller and it...

Thanks for the feedback! Yours was part of the batch I forgot to add double sided tape I believe. You can try using more tape in the middle of the box instead of or in addition to the side tabs. It is also very important to clean the surface with alcohol before hand and to apply some pressure...

@MrMaru 👀

I had no issues programming my garage door opener but had problems with programming a gate remote. It turns out I was holding the remote too close to the mirror. I held it between 8-12 in away and it recognized it.

thanks, not too bad! Now I just need @Aerie to make a carbon replacement!

I am pretty sure the SOUL Valve delete modules for the GT3 are plug and play for the Emira. They are $355 for 2. Maybe they'll sell just one? Or go in halfsies with someone else.

Congrats! She looks mean! Glad the charger is working out for you! How involved was it removing the OEM side skirt? Did you have to remove fenders?

@Six Speed Stephen The kit is $285 shipped within the US. Check out the first post in this thread for more info and pictures! Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions! 🤙

MVP Greg doing all this legwork!

I appreciate that my friend!

All existing inventory is sold! I can start another batch if there is enough interest. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Just something to consider before using oil additives

It uses a washer but it’s not the same as the engine oil pan https://www.lotuspartsonline.com/p/Lotus_2021_Evora/GASKET-DRAIN-PLUG--------FP/62886457/A132F6170S.html

Drain plug from an Evora: Fill port is at the top: This thread has info on fluid replacement in an Evora, the procedure calls for activation of the trans cooler pump using Lotus software, it’s prob the same for the Emira. Not sure how to do that without it. Maybe just run the car for a...

This is the enamel paint I used. The pack ended up being cheaper than individual bottles of paint and thinner. The brush that comes with it is not thin enough though. Unless you have a minute brush and surgeon hands it will smear but it’s easy to clean with thinner or alcohol using a paper...

I just press with my thumb.

I like it. All the journalists choose the most complicated way to operate it so they have something to complain about. I just slide my thumb under the right side of the cover (LHD car) and press the button. One single motion, no lifting, holding or poking the cover.

you had us all going! haha

If they don't it would be pretty easy to hit them with a coat of clear. Ooor even easier, add gloss PPF!
