    Did lotus rob us on horsepower?

    Keep in mind that chart shows the power to the rear wheels, which also shows how much drivetrain loss there is. The factory power rating is always what the engine is delivering at the crank, before going through everything in between the crank and the rear wheels. The amount of power that's...

    Emira Titanium exhaust interest...

    Yours certainly looks fancier. It may be that the single piece of metal that wraps around the muffler body on mine, is lighter than the combination of the two pieces that wrap around each half on yours, plus the connecting brace pieces, plus the extra y-tubing. Yours definitely looks like it...

    Emira Titanium exhaust interest...

    Did yours come with the valve, like the picture that shows it on your bench? Mine didn't. This is what mine looked like, which was supposed to be V2 (V1 had a different valve mount setup). Mine as you see it in the picture below, weighed 11 lbs 14.6 oz, which converts to 5.05 kg. The muffler...

    Then @Aerie has changed it quite a bit. I wonder why; what were the reasons for changing it? Is this new one lighter? Sounds better? Does it come pre-blued like that? Inquiring minds want to know....

    You sure this is for the V6?? It looks radically different from the one you sent me. Have you changed it?

    Run-in/Break-in Procedure

    You aren't supposed to run it continuously above 4k rpm for the first 1,000 miles. You can moderately rev it above that now and then. Just don't start flooring it until the engine and trans has broken in

    Cold start stalling

    No. I had already purchased the battery before my car was ever delivered, so I never experienced any issues with the factory battery since I swapped it out the day my car arrived. My point was how reliable the battery swap has been. I don't even have to use the battery tender on it overnight...

    Cold start stalling

    I know this isn't something you should have to do, nor is it going to be popular to say this, but I replaced the factory battery with the 40ah Antigravity battery from GRP and I've never had a single issue starting the car. I've gone as long as a couple of weeks without starting it, and it...

    Lightest weight track wheels

    Their front iron rotors are bigger than the OEM factory rotors for more stopping power, which is why they're a couple pounds heavier, but the rear rotors are lighter.

    Lightest weight track wheels

    I just received their CCB rotor and pad kit, literally yesterday. I haven't had the chance to install them yet because of the weather. Today's high was 26°F and it's going down to 17 tonight. I don't have a heated garage, so I'm going to have to wait until closer to spring when things warm up...

    Lightest weight track wheels

    For track use yes. I'm doing a street build; not going to take my car to the track. RacingBrake makes 2 piece iron brakes too.

    Lightest weight track wheels

    Good deal, then you'll understand and appreciate this, which is my working plan for weight reduction. I currently have everything on that list installed except the CCB brakes, which I just received yesterday. I don't have a heated garage so I won't be able to install them until it warms up...

    Lightest weight track wheels

    That was me that posted about litespeed racing. First thing you have to decide is what's your budget. That's going to determine what you get more than anything else. Their Mag+ monoblock would I think be the best ratio of weight savings to expense, unless you have an unlimited budget. If...

    Porsche goes back to ICE?

    This is an interesting video. If Porsche does this, others are soon going to follow.

    8 More Days 'till Pickup!

    Honestly you'd be better off having them deliver it to you by covered carrier, that way it will arrive exactly like you see it in the pictures. It's a long drive from Seattle to Boise, and the weather and road conditions are uncertain right now. That's an 8 hour drive at best, and in a brand...

    The inevitable faster Emira

    I had mine done when it was completely stock, and it showed 369.6 hp and 303 ft lbs of torque to the rear wheels, which is a drivetrain loss of only 7.6% which is quite good actually.

    New colours available in Canada for the 2025 V6, available for a limited time, must be ordered by the end of February.

    I find these images very interesting lol. I did this 3D render on December 26, 2021 It's also interesting to see their choice of setting; car on a concrete slab with mountains in the distance. I did this one a few weeks later in January 2022. Coincidence? Yeah and once again, for some...
