Anybody interested in checking this out: https://www.carscopterscoast.org I have no affiliation. Just sharing for potential interest. It's a very well attended charity event. I've never been personally but see a bunch of the Socal YT hypercar owners attend. You can enter your car to be part...

I purchased mine at Galpin and have taken it there twice now in the year I have owned it. Once for a repair and once for 1 year maintenance and software updates. Each time I had a different service advisor. One was horrible with zero to little communication being provided on the status of the...

I was a newbie at buttonwillow in May. If I may suggest, sign up with the club, with the novice group obviously, and hire a coach. He/she will take you out in their car (in my case, it was a C7) who owned an Exige at one point. Next, we took my Emira with him driving it (hang on for your dear...

Once you are a member, you get emails from the Socal guys. I don't have Instagram but I get all of the comms nonetheless via email and/or FB

Interested as well If you guys are not a member of Golden Gate/Socal Lotus club yet, highly recommend you join. I did Buttonwillow track day with them in May and it was really nicely organized. A month later, did Willow Springs with Speedventures. Also well organized however probably twice the...

Welcome! Get ready for all the attention. Like you, I came from the M3 F80 and Porsche 992 911 world. Both way faster and animalistic in nature. But neither will put a smile on your face every single time you drive than the Emira. And neither got more picture and rev requests than the Emira.

Along with a Tacoma TRD Pro, F80 M3 Comp, and of course a Lotus FE V6 Manual, I would love to add that E46 Comp to the stable. Is that an Interlagos? What do you you think you might ask for it? Taco satisfies the off roading and rock crawling itch. The F80 is like a bull in a china shop. The...

Great car show, thanks Rob for letting us know about this hidden gem. I couldn't believe the quality of cars that showed up. Awesome rid up and down the Malibu hills afterwards!

I saw your seneca blue all over the Pre-Monterey week YT car enthusiasts channels yesterday. You held your own IMHO although some of those rides are unimaginable to see in person I bet. Schmee certainly making the rounds last week. In Death Valley one day followed by OC the next.

Yes, that was the scenario I was describing in my original post. 100/91 mixed at a ratio I had looked up to come close to 93 for map 2.

Funny you ask as I was wondering about that too. Maybe a question for Burger? Given Map 2 is at 93 octane, not sure if results would be negligible if you put 100 at map 2.

count me in as well (vivid red)

Sat or Sun?

Galpin Auto Sports installed my air intake, exhaust and valve controller. Jaime was my P.O.C. there. You will be paying dealer shop rates but you also get the satisfaction of them knowing how to work on these cars. You can take your car for a service and ask Jaime to bring the car over to GAS...

Thank you @mr.suntorytime for the exceptionally well designed bracket AND for doing the install on my car. Class act gentleman! If there is anybody local that is interested, a drive to Venice while a haul for some... may well be worth your time! 45 min of install time of the module followed by...

I certainly hope Yiannmize is driving the Lotus. Dude is hilarious.

Mine is from the same batch most likely as I just received it. I am installing it next week and will report back any issues.

While I appreciate any Emira, Vivid Red is the ONLY color to be as an Emira

No JB 4 you and no JB 4 me (June 3 order date)

Similar crowd/cars as Supercar Sunday?

You just have to request it and if available, they will not hesitate to give it you.

Just paid the $750 for the 1 year service with 4500 miles on the odometer at Galpin (Vanessa is my service writer). Yes, I can definitely can get it cheaper somewhere else but the service usually takes at minimum 2 days and they take care of all software updates and/or recalls. Plus they gave...

Where did you buy the gloss carbon tips? I don't think GRP has those.

Welcome! and get ready to have folks come up to you asking if they can take pictures

Explains why I couldn't put magnetic numbers on the doors at my most recent track outing:eek:

EGO Leaf blower

Can you make the seat badge in CF to read "Lotus" instead of the OEM that reads "Emira"?

Do you have spacers?

28 days and counting for me. Something seems amiss here. If none were shipped last week, wondering if Burger hit the pause button to make some updates/improvements before sending out additional batches? Perhaps our friends here from Burger can provide some transparency? With the irony being I...

I have been tracking this also, haven't seen any. I had the HRE FF11 on my 911 and they were show stoppers. It's too bad they don't make the FlowForm's for the Emira's. Believe me, I have asked.

These can''t be real HREs. These go for $3850 USD for each wheel

June 7 Track day at Willow Springs. With a hundred+ cars running in the various groups, being the token Lotus definitely garnered some attention with other drivers doing double takes seeing an Emira on this legendary track.

Just curious, how easy/hard is it to switch from the different maps?

I was told by InoKinetic just this week they are also working on a tune. They were not able to provide an ETA.

By the way 100 octane does indeed exist in Socal. My recon netted results today. Chevron at the corner of Sherman Way and Woodley Ave in the "beautiful" city of Van Nuys $9/gl

I don't recall ever seeing him this happy reviewing a vehicle. I do agree though that shifter is a PITA and the rear engine cover is ugly. I will stick to my V6 Manual Supercharged.

One of my favorite cars in one of my favorite part of the country. Stunning on both counts.

There used to be a shell station, off the 5 freeway in Burbank at the alameda exit. I will have to swing by there tomorrow to see if they still have it. Where in Brentwood? I work at UCLA and can swing by and check.
