I want to do that, but my Lotus dealer won't cover the installation of those pads or warranty the brakes if anything else comes up if I go that route. I only have 500 miles on the car, so I want to run it in and ensure everything is working correctly. Lotus has been very picky about warranty...

FYI - brake pads are on backorder with no ETA. So, my Emira is just sitting at the dealership waiting for who knows how long on one silly brake pad. :cry:

This is great to know! It will be interesting to see what combination of parts it takes to get under a weight to power ratio of 8.

My Emira is stuck at the dealer for a fractured front brake pad because these pads are now on back order with no ETA. Is there another good option that cross-references with the OEM pads that I can suggest to the dealer? I would like to go with the EBC YellowStuff pads, but Lotus won't cover the...

That sounds like a good plan! You've got some great mods planned, and I'm anxious to see how it all turns out. That reminds me that I need to weigh my car before modifying it so I can have a baseline number before the mods begin.

I would have guessed you would do the cat delete just to shed the excess weight. Aren't the performance gains with just the cat delete comparable to the intake? Also, I don't think the sound changes much if you stick with the factory valve control. My understanding is that the cat delete really...

Are you planning on adding the cat delete pipe after you get the intake installed and dynoed?

Interesting! It looks like it's still making power up to redline, so raising the rev limiter would probably be beneficial.

That's a solid baseline number! I thought the Emira redline was closer to 7,000 rpms, but it looks like it actually cuts out at about 6,720 rpms. I assume the car was in track mode for this dyno run? Would Sport or Track mode give any more revs over the standard Tour mode, or is it the same no...

Launch Control not being covered by warranty reminds me of when the Nissan R35 GT-R first came out.

I love the license plate holder! It looks very well thought out and executed well.

Unfortunately, it seems as though the trend has continued over here.

Is anyone considering getting the new Bugatti Tourbillon? It seems like a proper car for a watch enthusiast. https://www.bugatti.com/the-bugatti-models/tourbillon/

Does anyone else occasionally see a cool blue-teal color at certain angles? It's hard to capture with a camera. I can see it at the edges of the green when a bright light is shining directly on it.

I've only had it for a few weeks. It showed up after my 100-mile drive home from the dealership. I have 500 miles on the car now.

My Emira is at Austin Lotus for the AC recall, so I had them check out what I thought was a minor brake pad fracture. They sent me a picture of the brake pad, which was in much worse condition than it showed on the brake rotor.

Good stuff! It sounds like I'll have to add an Antigravity battery and Bluetooth tracker to my list of things to do.

Here's a video showing the final form of RZR-X1 that I raced in the Unlimited class in 2013.

The best thing to do is attend the Fan Fest held in downtown Colorado Springs on Friday night before the race. They block the roads and spread out all the race cars for everyone to walk around. It's a cool way to see everything up close and meet the drivers. https://ppihc.org/fan-fest/ I...

I started a thread so that this one can stay on topic. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/2024-pikes-peak-international-hill-climb.4800/

Unfortunately, there isn't a Lotus racing the hill this year, but there are still some amazing machines that are entered! https://ppihc.org/competitor-list/ One that I'm watching closely is the new Ford F150 Lightning Supertruck! There is also a competitive GT4 class that includes several...

That stuff is Pikes Peak International Hill Climb tested and approved! I had it all over my race car since heat soak up there in that thin air is a major issue.

The competition is tight! Please "Like" the photo you think should win to help us determine a winner!

I haven't, but it's a nice looking watch!

I received an email from my dealer stating that there are two recalls for my Emira. One is for a shield for the AC, and the other is for a software update for the AC module. I haven't noticed any AC issues with mine, but I'm glad they are being proactive and getting out in front of the issue.

Welcome to the forum! I lived in Cedar Park, but now we are out in Fredericksburg. If you haven't seen it yet, you should consider going to this year's Lotus Owners Group 43 meetup! https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/lotus-ltd-meet-log-43-austin-tx-2024.4705/

It looks like it's as good as new! PPF FTW!

Dark Verdant with full STEK DYNOshield PPF.

I went with the legal limit here in Texas, which is 25%. I didn't do any windshield film at this time.

Thanks! Yes, they had to do some creative cuts above the side scoops. Dark Verdant hides them well, making them hard to see even if you are looking for them. They removed the badges, and I think were able to wrap the lights without removing them.

Full STEK PPF and window tint is done!
