    Intake difference between FE and 2025 V6

    Well if its prone to sucking up leaves isnt that more reason to have it so they arent clogging your filter.

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    A couple Qs to figure out how this would go down. When they sold you one did you have to get any initial programming done to lock it to the car? Did you ever get that new ECU installed before the lemoning? If someone bought one from a dealer can they send it directly to you for bench tuning...

    Los Angeles Canyon Meet

    Be careful. Even though they wont be working its highly likely that there will be cones, tape and people driving and biking slow around all of that work.

    New special order color: Racing Green

    Agreed that should have been the launch green. I was expecting more pop for the orange though. Especially given the price they want for it. They should have just done Chrome orange again. I guess the autumn bronze will remain mysterious for now.

    Emira V6 - Bolt-ons, Catalytic Converters, and Passing Emissions

    I think the best solution would be to remove the 3 factory cats, relocate your sensors to the 3rd cat location and make a flange attached cat at the 3rd cat location that you can swap in and out as needed. In the 3rd cat location you only have to remove the diffuser and if its a flanged...

    Limited Telematics

    I got the error on Monday ironically starting it up to go to the dealer for a different service. They have me scheduled for the latest update as well. Ill report back when I get the car back hopefully next week.

    So Lotus Emira has real hood now!

    Screws are cheap and easy to engineer. Latches are fiddly and more money. Plus theres nothing in there to do if you arent planning on busting out tools anyways.

    Anyone considering replacing their current Emira with the updated 2026 model?

    The price differential is too big for what amounts to new paint and wheel choices. I would love a purple one but I'm not paying 20k + depreciation for it.

    Icon Rocklear better than PPF?

    The point of ppf is that its sacrificial and can be reapplied if damaged. This doesn't have that. There's no way this is completely impervious to damage so it sounds like its going to add extra pita when that damage happens.

    Question for those with V6 manual and floating console mod...

    I'm still happy with the floating console. I've never dropped anything in there or anything. I made sure to tell my kids not to stick their fingers in there.

    SportAuto: Alpine vs Emira SE Turbo

    Says its the SE so its 400. I dont read German so no idea what they say in the article but its on goodyears in the chart part. No idea if that means its a tour spec as well or sport with the F1s.

    Android Auto / Torque OBD users - add some useful extra info to your centre screen! (custom dashboard)

    Im in a Pixel 9 ProXL. I have the app functionally working on my phone but I cant seem to get it to be recognized by android Auto. What did you use to install the aatorque app? I was using kinginstall but the Pixel seems on to that and its not showing.

    Does anyone have this running with an android 16 device or are we all digging up older stuff?

    Shmee and the Evija…

    I found it. He shows it around 54:36. It actually has the same styling as the emira key (metal and gloss black) on the back. Still doesn't look cool enough for that car though.

    Shmee and the Evija…

    Is that really the keyfob in the thumbnail. Come on. For 2.5M Id want something better than black plastic. That should be milled titanium or something. Heck the Emira key looks better and you could by 25 of them for one of those.

    Is leasing an Emira a good idea?

    I don't know if I share that opinion. I think either car in stock form is more than capable on the street or twisty roads. Both versions need some stuff for extended track duty. I think the biggest decision is really just how you want to interact with the car from a transmission standpoint.

    What is this sticker?

    Its likely inventory tracking given the location and the little car in the gps pin icon. The cars are scanned a bunch as they arrive at different locations. You can just remove it.

    Washing considerations - what to watch out for?

    I dont think theres anywhere where you will beak something by spraying but if you spray into that glass vent at the rear you will soak your engine bay. Otherwise just make sure you are using a wide enough tip and low enough pressure where its safe for your paint. My general procedure for...

    Full body wrapping cost

    Full body ppf in clear for me was 6500. I imagine a colored film would be a little more than that. If you get it wrapped make sure its with a ppf film. vinyls do not last long and are a pita to remove if they arent replaced often enough.

    Smoked tail lights

    Those are pretty dark. If you can, take one off and have someone take a night shot with the brakes on so we can see the difference in output.

    US Lotus portal updated with 2026 models, Raceline is now available

    I just inquired with my sales guy if there is a price sheet from Lotus yet on the 2026s. For 2025s the pricing list existed months before they put it on the configurator and I assume it must exist now if they are taking orders.

    You can pop off that panel its on. The hazard just attaches from the underside. Check this thread and the early disassembly for the boot removal. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/diy-floating-console-modification.5422/

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    Maybe but there are plenty of people with no ticking so there's a way to do it right.

    Tint Percentage with Privacy glass?

    I have 50% windshield tint and when its sunny enough to need sunglasses its no issue with light. If you are wearing polarized glasses you will get a rainbow sky effect though.
