Doesn't surprise me. Lotus is terrible at communications with the North American dealers. Us forum members usually know things before the dealers.

I got it (and you should know me). 😉

Here are a couple comparison shots with my Verde Ithaca Evora GT. Got a couple close up to show the metallic flake too! 💚👌🏽

I moved just my Lotus. I have 2 other vehicles and home owners with SF still.

Yup, exactly this. I also switched to Grundy (from State Farm) because it saved me ~$550/yr, but more importantly, Grundy provided an agreed value for my Evora GT. My premium spec GT with bespoke paint, carbon pack, and 3 pedals would fetch a lot more than your average Evora and State Farm...

Agreed.. Not loving the new designs at all. And how are they going to make a new Testarossa and leave out the iconic side strakes!?

I had a pretty crappy Nissan Micra in Ireland for a week. It got the job done, but one of the tires had a slow leak and it was annoying to fill up often on our vacation. The other crappy car we had was a poverty spec Elantra last time I went out to Sedona. I booked a small SUV and they gave me...

Nice! Did you upgrade fluid too? What's the RS on your fender?

Welcome @Iluvitar!

This weight is for a front rotor? 9.21kg = 20.3lbs, so these Girodiscs save 2 tenths of a pound each (according to the 20.1lb weight shown in the first post)?

Actually I take it back. The mockup on the first page looks alright. What's the red one I'm thinking of? I can't keep up 😂

This is the way. And use the correct font. From a graphic designer standpoint, the current font used on the red lid looks childish/cheap.

Interesting! Cool car.. but imagine paying $400k for the same powertrain Lotus uses. o_O

The Verde Ithaca paint on my Evora GT was an $8100 option! It's excellent quality though. 3 stage paint job and they actually used Lambo paint. I am curious to see if the Emira paint has gotten any better. Many detailers reported it being extra soft and I'm hoping it was due to them rushing to...

No problem. Those ramps are sketchy, especially when working 3 pedals! Also, the front jack points can be hard to reach with most floor jacks. If you have 2 jacks you can jack up the rear just a little and then have more clearance up front to slide in your second jack to the front point.

Pro tip: Jack up the rear of the car and just slide the ramps under the wheels one at a time. It's much easier and safer. I have the Rhino ramps and they'd slide all over the place after I had my floor done. I ended up cutting up an old yoga mat to keep them in place. After a few close calls, I...

Welcome to the forum! There have been over 3k Emira sold on North America. Plenty available both new and pre-owned.

Nice! Another Hawk pad option I recommend trying is the HPS 5.0. They aren't as low dust as these ceramic pads, but they are MUCH less dusty than the stock AP (or Ferodo DS2500) and will brake better and resist fade more than the ceramics. Can't really go wrong with either.. Just depends on your...

Welcome to the club! Great color choice. 😎

Lookin good! I recommend this black EZ pass skin to help hide the floating white rectangle. :cool:

Emira is a close 2nd for me though! ;)

There is. I posted some pics and video of their testing rig on my Instagram a couple years ago. I've been waiting (hoping) for someone to crack it and customize the digital display. I'd like to see analog look gauges as well as the increased redline after a tune.

Haha, just wait until you pull the under tray panel in the rear and see what dumps out of the rear bump covers behind the wheels.

Good luck with the lemon law fight. The PS pump issue was pretty common on early Emira builds. Lotus is pretty strict about mods and can easily tell when the ECU has been flashed.

Happy to have you @shinoo! 🥳

Welcome to the party @MissedApex!

Great review! Amazing fuel economy too. Guess that's another perk of the i4. Sorry about the curbed wheel. Maybe a good excuse to buy an aftermarket set? 😉

Cool idea, but yeah... I'd also want to see it more louvered so rain wouldn't fall right in.

Right!? That's a ~$24k increase over a fully loaded FE 1.0. 🤯

Went out for a quick ride today and spotted 2 Emira!! Pretty wild since I normally see 1 or 2 a year.. then today there's 2 in one short trip! One was Magma with silver wheels on 141 and the other was this Seneca reveal spec on 95 in Wilmington. Looked amazing. 👌🏽

Mine is just ALEX but forum fancy. 🤷‍♂️ I'm that or Verde Ithaca on most places now. Previous forums I was usually Alx+whatever car I had (AlxSTi, Alx300ZTT, AlxGTI, etc.).

That's a big deal in the Lotus world. 😜

The Racing Line updates are interesting.. Still waiting on the carbon bits though.. 🤔 Racing Line Finally, Lotus launches the Racing Line. For enthusiasts who want to give their Emira an extra sporty look, Lotus introduces the Racing Line design option, available on the Turbo SE and V6 SE...

Press release only mentions UK and Euro (Germany) prices.. I'm sure these updates will be coming to North America too.

My stage 2 (downpipe and flash) '06 STi ran 12 flat in the 1/4 mile with street tires and that trans could take 6k clutch dumps all day long. I know the Lotus platform isn't built for drag racing, but it's a hard pill to swallow considering it was a $30k 4 door Subaru and these are $100k+ exotic...

Hell yeah! Looks amazing @yk793. Who did the calipers? And you bought from RDS/Philly? Gotta be the same one I took these shots with:

Oh no!! Man, I told you to go inside. @Six Speed Stephen knows a thing or two about broken Emira axles.
