How much was the diffuser with the race light?

I was going to suggest plastic screws, then cut the tops off before screwing them all the way in so there's a flush surface that matches the area around it. That would fill the holes with a hard surface, then you could use touch-up paint on them and buff it out.

Any chance you can weigh it before you install it, then weigh the factory diffuser? Looks really nice, and I like the center brake light.

Does it sound like it's coming from inside the cabin, or from the engine bay? That sounds like something is loose and vibrating.

If it's like what happened after I installed the Eventuri, the ECU will begin adjusting to it over the next 100 miles or so. If you're going to run it in Map1, I'd suggest leaving it in that map for the next 100 miles and see if it gradually gets stronger.

Here's a picture of what was in the oil drain pan when I did mine right after the break-in period. Those flecks aren't gold.

Depends on the design and style of the wheel. The more metal there is in the design, the heavier it will be. They list the weights on their website for the styles they offer, which seems to be around 3+ lbs lighter each for the fronts, and 6+ lbs lighter for the rears. The factory "Ultra...

Yes on a brand new engine that's normal. That's the wear-in particulate, and demonstrates why it's a great idea to change the oil and filter after the first 500-1000 miles. The filter only catches some of it.

These are the two essential tools every mechanic needs: This one is magnetic for screws, nuts, bolts, etc. https://www.harborfreight.com/flexible-magnetic-pickup-tool-94614.html This one has a retractable claw for everything else...

'bout time. The rest of the country has been held captive by that loony toon state for too long. This should be a big help to the aftermarket developers.

Did you install the OBDII cable, or just go with it as-is?

You didn't use lock washers on it??

The Emira is pretty, but the Evija just has that next level look to it. Yes, they REALLY need to modify it to have an ICE powerplant in it.

Those driveshafts are expensive! With the conversion to U.S., and I believe there's a 25% tariff on this? Including shipping, that would be an almost $8,000 cost. So if you get these, what does that do to the transaxle? Adding power always tends to be expensive because it often requires...

No, I didn't get their y pipe, nor did I use the 3rd cat delete. Their exhaust is connected to the factory 3rd cat on mine, and I haven't had any problems so far. I don't track mine either, so it doesn't get extreme use.

I've had mine for a year now and it's been fantastic. No problems. My only recommendation to anyone buying a new one, is to put the battery on a charger when you first get it to make sure it has a full charge. I replaced mine with an Antigravity battery from GRP which I'd purchased just...

More torque is exactly what the car needs and what I've wanted. Now I'm just watching and waiting to see how it goes with everyone who's ordering this.

Have you noticed a big hit on gas mileage? Especially with the more expensive gas? Has the car's sound changed, as in louder?

Or if you're married, and your wife puts her purse with the floppy handle next to the center console, and her handle flops over into the mechanism. To me, opening everything up like this is just inviting Murphy to pay you a visit.

How does it feel on the street? Any driving impressions?

Yeah that's what I was wondering, if sending them data logs would help to fine tune it for the Eventuri.

Actually I would expect the Eventuri to get more performance, as it increased the power and torque on mine after I installed it. I dynoed mine before and after, and I gained 16.5 hp and 15 ftlbs of torque. I drove with it installed for a couple of weeks before getting the dyno so the ECU had...

I'm wondering how they're routing the cable from the TMAP to the MAF that the instructions show just hanging across the engine for the V6. Also this is obviously tuned for the factory airbox. I would like to know if the Eventuri airbox would require a custom tune map, since it's airflow and...

Went to the Grand Opening today. Nice facility. Met my sales guy who I bought my car from when he was in Bellevue, Washington. Quite a few employees and one of the owner/partners from Bellevue were there today. One of the employees drove his own Emira down all the way from Bellevue. His and...

You're assuming he actually got them. My experience writing to people at his level, and even our political representatives here in the U.S., is that their staffers intercept all incoming correspondence and decide which ones they're going to pass through to the person you wrote to... or not...

I did charge it, and the light was on when it was charging. I had the app open and there was no response from the unit. I figured there must be a press switch or something on the unit. It wasn't until customer support got back to me that I discovered the unit itself has settings you access...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your car!

Problem is, we don't know how much of what happened was the result of his decisions, or following plans he was given from upstairs. There's also the unbelievable mess of what was taking place in the world at that time, and to his credit, he didn't give up on the Emira but persisted and got it...

Between whacky weather, out-of-town visitors dropping in, and trying to find a place to do some runs, I still haven't been able to do anything. I had one day where the weather had warmed up, so I went out to find a place for a Dragy run, and I couldn't get it to work. After contacting them, it...

Actually that's not bad at all. Look at the red factory line below it. The JB tune has improved that area quite a bit.

I did my own oil change after the 1,000 mile break-in which was back in June of last year (I've had my car one year now this month!). I just checked it, and it's exactly at the full mark just like it was then. It hasn't burned any oil at all.

I seem to remember reading somewhere awhile ago that Lotus increased the strength of the internals on the V6 manual trans for the Emira. They didn't just use the same gears that the Evora had. The Evora trans could handle up to 368 ft lb (500 nm) of torque, so if you stay within that limit it...

Here's some nice footage of Mario Andretti's championship Lotus 79 at Goodwood.

It would be interesting to see what results they would get if the car had the Eventuri intake on it. I'm guessing his tuning was with the factory intake.

There's an adjustment access hole on the inner fenders inside the front. You have to lift up the front hood. There's one on each side of the car. I did it when I first got my car, because the left headlamp was lower than the right. You adjust it with a hex wrench. I can't remember exactly...
