    Houston we have a Problem!

    Any downside to just using gold heat reflective tape do you think?

    Emira GRP Third Cat Delete Pipe and Milltek Active Valve Exhaust Control Install Video

    The material you used, was it from one of those flexible accordion-style connecting tubes or straight galvanized steel/aluminum pieces? I'm guessing it was the later.

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    I don't think it's fair to generalize the entirety of Emira owners or even this just this forum based on the few critical comments you've received (most from just a few repeat users or the hardcore JUBU supporters). Most people seem to just be asking honest questions about your offerings...

    Unofficial GRP Lowering Kit Installation Guide

    How are you feeling about your set up after a few more weeks of driving it? Any issues rubbing against the CV boot?

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    Will you be able to code out CELs on the new ECU for cars that have aftermarket catless headers? If so I'm guessing that will be one of the options when choosing a tune/map.

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    Definitely interested. Piggyback tunes make me nervous despite most users having solid results from the jb4. Would love a true bench flash with the increased redline and fuel optimization. Agree with me73 though, some more specific details would be very welcome.

    What kind of paint did you use? Nail polish?

    FS: Touring Cupholder

    Gonna wait for info on the blank variant but wanted to see if anyone has used this alongside KitKats open shifter mod with the cage/mesh delete? Wondering if the lack of cage will cause issues with the mount moving.

    Shift Knob Replacement

    Just got mine today. Shift knobs are mostly personal preference but I'm really really happy with this design. The larger size feels great in the hand and the small amount of added weight makes a big difference when engaging gears. Shifts feel a ton smoother. Also love that it maintains the OEM...

    Unofficial GRP Lowering Kit Installation Guide

    It's a shame you didn't film the process. I am planning on installing these sleeves soon and would love to have a video as a guide. I watched obsessed garages install of the nitrons so at least some of the initial removal steps are included there.

    Ok as much as I love the shift boot delete and full open shifter look, and I really really love it.... This would be totally next level. Gonna be stalking the forum for this update now.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    This is great insight and thanks for the pictures. I'm not planing on maxing out the drop on the GRP sleeves (maybe 15mm) and I'm going to keep the stock rake so hopefully I don't have any rubbing issues.
  15. Mr. Sparkle

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Planning on doing the same soon. Did you lower it the same amount on all four corners? Just wondering why you'd want to raise the rear back up when the car already has some forward rake as stock.

    Personally even if price wasn't a factor I'd still choose the enlarged OEM version that mr.suntorytime is working on.

    Bag World Bespoke bags

    These match my spec perfectly (magma red with yellow calipers). Unfortunately I don't think I'm ready to spend upwards of $1500 US after shipping/tariffs/etc for luggage when I already have workable baggage setup. Maybe in a year or two I'll splurge on a set of these 😅

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    If that's just the 96,500 British pounds converted into US dollars then I think it includes VAT. The US price should be lower, though obviously then gets our own taxes + tariffs on top.

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    Yea pretty much. Basically your dealer needs to have been given an allocation from Lotus. My dealer announced when they got them and it was first come first served to snag it. After that he sent me a build sheet which was identical to the regular base one but has the deep green metallic option...

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    I had an order in for the deep green metallic with my dealer. Then all the tariff drama started and I opted to swap to a build (also mine from before the announcement of the limited edition colors) that arrived to the US just 1 week prior to the tariff implementation in April. According to my...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Finished up the shift boot and shifter cage delete mod. Looks even better than I thought now that I'm able to see it in person. Love it.

    Shift Knob Replacement

    New owner and member here but I'd be in for one of these as well depending on pricing. Also agree with crestima, I'd personally prefer it in aluminum to match the OEM finish.

    DIY: Floating Console Modification

    Hey Cilantro. Killer work adapting the auto tray for this mod. Quick question: the new bolts you list, are those required for install of the new tray or did you just provide that in case anyone wanted to also swap to the nicer style? Wondering if I can just use the existing hardware for initial...
