    Transportation Freedom Act and its ramifications for Lotus/Emira

    Sorry,I should have been more specific: I meant compared to the Evora which it directly replaced. Same engine, and there were 400HP variants but the later variants had 416 and even 430HP @7000 RPM. That's another thing, our redline sits at 6800 RPM stock and I've seen talk about these numbers...

    Transportation Freedom Act and its ramifications for Lotus/Emira

    Pertaining specifically to US Emira owners: As I'm sure some of you know, the bill was introduced back in February and will shake up the trajectory of the car industry if it eventually passes. There's many facets to this new piece of legislation but I'm mostly specifically interested in the...

    UK configurator has updated

    That half-Union Jack on the front center grille looks so good. I'd love that on my Emira.

    Carbon fiber engine surround choices

    I've finally got around to installing my matte fishbone GRP set. The fitment left a little to be desired and there were small cosmetic blemishes but overall I'm pretty satisfied with it. I lost one of the plastic bolts that fit into the rubber grommets because it wasn't threaded into the OEM...

    RacingBrake Carbon Ceramic Rotor Install

    Thanks for this. I've got a V6 auto and I have a set myself still in boxes. Life circumstances, including a lot of home repairs/renovations have prevented me from finding time to get these installed, and this thread definitely helps.

    2k km service and software updates

    I have the V6 version and just got my car back a few days ago after having my break-in oil changed plus the software updates. I can definitely feel the same changes. If I need a burst of acceleration, I can still get it, but it just takes slightly longer to kick in. Very subtle but noticeable.

    Carbon fiber engine surround choices

    I bought a matte fishbone set from GRP, which I received already, but my car's still being serviced by my dealer so I'll post pics once I get the car back soon.

    California drivers - sports or touring suspension?

    Touring here with the Goodyears. Here in the East LA / OC area there's lots of roads with cracks and the setup I chose handles them well.

    GRP Customized Emira Steering Wheels!

    Oh my apologies, I just meant that I bought a set of the press-only type buttons to go along with the custom steering wheel. It'd be cool if Jogon made a set of the CF surrounds.

    📓 Journals A sad day.. any help would be welcomed

    So sorry to see this happen to you. Hit and runs make my blood boil, especially since my mom had an incident 2 years ago. This is why I always advocate for having a dashcam as one of the first things to install in a new car. It looks fixable to me, but I suppose it's up to your insurance...

    Insurance Options for US Market

    Just to add another data point, I'm in SoCal and I went with Geico. $2,598 a year, $1000 deductible. All the other quotes, particularly from Nationwide and Progressive were ridiculously high.

    Brand New Black & Red Witamats for sale

    Brand new,never installed, with locking tabs and original box. The only reason I'm selling these is because since the time I bought them, my Emira was sitting in a shop for 2 months having some work done on it, and in that time, I noticed that they have a new version with the embroidered...

    10 Year/ 100,000 limited warranty from Galpin

    Picked my Emira up from Galpin in the beginning of October and was given this warranty. Interesting to see that they're extending the offer.

    Fog lights for front

    Good example. Personally I'm also a fan of the current generation Camry (before the 2025 MY redesign) accent lighting: There's also an aftermarket version that makes the entire trim pieces light up in that similar curved shape. The trim pieces on the Emira that have the far L and far R...

    Fog lights for front

    I'd certainly be interested in adding front fog lights to my Emira if anything aftermarket ever pops up. I can attest that the headlights already do a great job, I just think it'd add to the cool factor.

    GRP Customized Emira Steering Wheels!

    Cool! I have a set on order from GRP as well, along with the custom steering wheel I ordered. I always wondered what they looked like on the steering wheel since they don't have any stock photos of them mounted, so thanks for that. 🙏

    GRP Customized Emira Steering Wheels!

    Nice, where did you get the carbon fiber trim for the button surround from? I saw some from eBay and was thinking about buying that. I also inquired with Jogon and I think they're making more CF parts in addition to what they already offer. Also, are the CF paddles the JQ Werks Madtrace?

    Eventuri development

    Anyone here definitively know if the Eventuri intake is CARB compliant? I inquired with Galpin Auto Sports here in SoCal if they could help me install one and they couldn't under the assumption that it wasn't. Yet when you look at the installation PDF, it does mention a CARB sticker: The...

    Aerie sold me USED Steering wheel buttons

    Bummer, sorry to see this happened to you. I ordered a set from GRP along with some other stuff, hope they don't source from the same manufacturer. Will update to see if my set come with blemishes or not. But GRP's been extremely good to me across a few orders already so I'm hopeful.

    Recommendation Windshield Protection

    My Emira is currently still in the shop getting PPF, CC, and tint done, but I'm having them add windshield protection on and they chose Exoshield GT3+ windshield protection film. Will update my thoughts/review on it once I get my Emira back and spend some time with it.

    Wide-Angle Side Mirrors?

    I was watching this video from Bros Fourr Speed about replacing the stock side-view mirrors on his '24 Civic Type-R with polarized, wide-angle convex mirrors. Since we don't have blind-spot monitoring for our Emira mirrors, I think this would be a great potential mod. I'm curious what others...

    Sent you a DM, I'd like to buy a US/LHD manual.

    What feature from your current car that Emira doesn't have will you miss the most

    If you care about preserving the highest audio quality, I'd recommend using EAC (Exact Audio Copy) for audio conversion to FLAC files. I've done that personally for my CD collection and now play it via Bluetooth to my current car.
