I try to go to as many of these as I can so I'm sure we'll meet up there soon but unfortunately tomorrow I'll be traveling up to VA to visit family so I won't make it with the amazing weather. Enjoy and rep the Emira/Lotus crew :)

This happened to me today. Rain sensor failure, SRS failure, no power on homelink buttons, etc. after trying to use larger wiretap connectors since the small ones I had were intermittently causing the radar detector to power off (I suspect there was too much wiggle room inside the connector)...

That's what I had remembered reading but thank you very much for the confirmation. So it's very reasonable to say then that with the added Milltek + Eventuri (vs. drop in) we should be somewhere slightly above the 462whp number which would put us around the 525-530bhp mark. It definitely feels...

To be honest I'm really not sure. I'm mostly basing this on the following (although I do know that mods are not purely additive and hence this is more of an educated guess): GRP 3rd cat delete (+5-10 bhp?) Milltek Valve Controller (in full open we've seen a few HP gain in some dyno testing)...

I for one really appreciate it. With work/life responsibilities and a 1 and a 3 year old, it would be really difficult for me to find the time to go do this so thank you for your service :)

Pretty much same setup here and I'm curious: GRP 3rd cat delete Milltek Valve Controller Eventuri Intake JB4 Map2 (We have 93 octane everywhere in NC) Based on dyno evidence from the various mods (mostly the JB4 addition), I'm guessing somewhere around 510-520bhp and around 470 to the...

I followed both the towel and bolt recommendations and the actual JB4 install was really smooth (routing the OBD cable was more effort). Map1 didn't have a major noticeable impact but Map 2 is definitely a significant step forward in terms of power. As others have mentioned, 1st gear redline...

Thanks for this. I spent the small amount of time I had to work on this today routing the OBD connector into the engine bay. I couldn't bring myself to install without it as I want the max performance, smoothness, and safety and I want to be able see all the data. I tried the grommet method...

Disregard, I saw your post in Kitkat's install thread. Very cool. I might install mine today :)

Did you have a chance to test the JB4 yet? I've been following your posts and am eager to hear your feedback. I've had my JB4 sitting on a shelf for many weeks now and just haven't had the time to install and test it. I also installed the Eventuri a few weeks ago and LOVE the difference in...

I have had the same experiences as most of what you said except the following: The steering wheel doesn't really bother me...maybe I've just gotten used to it. Reliability for me has been fine with just a few transient CELs and a couple limp modes during break-in. From miles 4-5K, nothing...

How are you liking the Eventuri a few months later? I just received mine in the mail today from @GRP and am looking forward to installing it. Of course, the improved sound is really my #1 concern closely followed by the associated power gains.

Man sorry to hear that. I don't really launch the Emira from a dig just out of an abundance of caution but it's a bit concerning that a 4K launch killed it. I guess we'll all have to be even a little extra careful if we're running it hotter than stock. Hope you get it sorted out quickly.

Thanks @Coreyalert3. It's fantastic to have some data with a common setup (Milltek VC, 3rd Cat Delete, + Intake). Those numbers looks like what I'd expect without an all out launch from my experience. With a JB4 Map2 tune (assuming it's really pushing another ~90whp), I would expect that 1/4...

While I'd love to have a big ole' V8 in the Emira, if there is no frunk OR trunk, it makes it borderline impossible for any real road trips with another person. I'd rather keep it the way it is if the JB4 lives up to the hype. With the added ~100whp it should be much closer to the GT3 in terms...

Sick news. I too am very interested in feedback from people after hooking this up.

This genuinely made me laugh out loud. I feel exactly the same and nice add with the Emira jacket =p

Every day....multiple times.

I would also love more information on this. Thanks!

We had a great time meeting up and hitting some of the northern Wake Country roads this morning. The weather turned out to be perfect and we had a good showing. Here are a few photos of the beauties:

I did the 3rd cat delete and MiIltek VC at the same time. In touring mode with VC on OEM, it's still quiet to me and sounds similar to stock. With the VC in full open, the car takes on an entirely new personality sound-wise and that's how I tend to drive it exclusively unless I'm entering or...

I go to C&C Morrisville almost every month but I'll be traveling to VA tomorrow and will miss this one. Happy to meet up in the future though!

This was a couple weeks ago but I forgot to post it. We had a great time at lunch meeting up in Raleigh for lunch. As usual, the Emiras drew quite a bit of attention in just the few minutes we hung around before going in to eat. The only thing that looks better than an Emira parked in a lot...

In general, I would recommend shopping around. This time last year when I bought my Emira, my main insurance provider (National General - a subsidiary of Allstate) wouldn't insure the Emira at all. I went with Hagerty which was around $2K per year (max 7,500 miles/year). This year, when I...

That 55% does look pretty good. I might have to consider that.

I was almost certain I'd be tinting my car to the max legal NC limit (35%) but once I received my NG Emira, I decided not to do so. I think a lot of it has to do with all the smiles and thumbs up I get from people on the roads and that would largely disappear if people were just looking at...

The more I drive this car the less I car about a few tenths of a second to 60. The V6 manual is just a blast. Wouldn't trade it for a 3.3sec 0-60 i4 autobox.

I have the same setup and yeah, hearing that drive-by with valves open is just epic. I rarely get to hear it from the outside :) Thanks for sharing. Such a crazy awesome mod for under a grand USD.

I'm planning to have my ticking noise addressed during my first service visit if at all possible but yes, a confirmed resolution or two would be nice if anyone has had this successfully eliminated.

Eagerly awaiting the news. Mine seems to be getting louder and more annoying at 3,100 miles. I would like to have this addressed on my next service visit but I don't want them messing with the interior bits unless we have a confirmed fix.

Wow you're flying...I just cracked 3K today but I got mine on March 8th so you're going to eclipse me soon!

Interesting experience with Nimbus. I haven't regretted it once and get so many compliments on it virtually non-stop at C&C events. Nimbus is such a deep and dynamic color. It really stands apart from almost all other silver-esque cars on the road. I get that color is a personal choice so...

Overall, it was a huge endorsement of the Emira. Thomas said the Z06 is more fun to drive "at the limit" but I'm sure that in a canyon or on regular roads where you aren't "at the limit", the Emira is WAY more fun (and it has a 3rd pedal). I think the Z06 looks great (much better than the...
