    How is the V6 Manual doing on the used US market these days?

    I love Nimbus. Personal preference. Mine has black pack, tan interior, and yellow calipers. Yellow calipers plus the yellow Lotus badges (plus my special CA license plat which is black and yellow) really works imo. But it's all subjective.

    That a great resource, thanks @centerpunch! That nimbus on BaT is very properly photographed.

    How is the V6 Manual doing on the used US market these days?

    I have a prestine FE V6 manual and I'm thinking about getting rid of it. Not sure yet, as I'm still kind of in love with it. But a GT3 is calling me, so I'm considering things. I've been trying to assess cars and bids and some other sales online, but it's hard to tell. Prices seem to be decent...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Sports! Still felt pretty soft for track work. But good for general life.

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Some photos from a recent track day at Willow Springs with my Emira. Brake dust is killing me, but otherwise she's looking nice.

    Advice for tire pressures: Eagle F1's on track?

    Track day over now, car felt great and tires felt great. I found the best pressures were actually stock recommended - 29 front 31 rear (cold). Below it felt too soft on corners, above lost grip. Again, this is for the GY Eagle F1's. Will be replacing with Cup 2's soon.

    Advice for tire pressures: Eagle F1's on track?

    I'm tracking my Emira this Friday at Streets of Willow. I have sports suspension but with the Goodyear Eagle F1's. Curious if anyone has experience with this and if you lowered tire pressures at all to increase grip on track? Also here's a good picture of my Emira up in he windy roads of...

    Any way to fix the brake dust?

    This is extremely off topic.. but the thought has crossed my mind and this reminds me of the idea: it would be quite cool to see someone (who's insane) upgrade the Emira to the nines. Carbon body panels, total engine rework, ceramic brakes, etc. Not like a crazy track thing, like a restomod...

    Any way to fix the brake dust?

    Yeah that'll be very hard to move back to. But hey, the Emira is awesome so you'll still love it. Having said that, I've made a promise to myself to never get steel brakes again. My M3 is a nightmare just like the Emira.

    Any way to fix the brake dust?

    Ordered the EBC reds on @kitkat's endorsement. Dying for them to arrive. I have gloss black wheels, they're basically only ever clean immediately after I clean them :/ One other solution to this problem is getting after market carbon ceramic breaks. Obviously, a massive expense. I swear I might...

    Tillet B10 installed

    Nice -I really want to upgrade to these seats. What made you go with the B10 over B10XL? I'm 5'10", athletic build. Curious if the B10XL's would be too large for me.

    Leaky windows

    Good point. I'll experiment more with those tips. My car has been at the dealer for almost two months now.... so I haven't had a chance to wash it again. Miss the damn thing.

    Leaky windows

    This happens with mine too when power washing. I didn't realize it would happen with just a hose though, that's pretty hopeless.

    My next car after the Emira

    Morgan is quite a different direction than the Emira. I don't think anyone can tell you what to do, it's what makes you happy ultimately. Have you driven one? I'd jump on the Morgan forums and read more about it. There's some pretty great reviews on it on youtube. I always thought my next car...

    Digital dashboard - anybody want gauges with more info?

    I could help out with digital design of gauges. I've done a lot of design for the apple watch and pixel watch, has a lot of overlap visually and functionality wise. Could be fun. An off-the-shelf design solution might be easier though, but it would be cool to make something bespoke for the...

    Blendmount for Emira

    My Uniden on my M3 rattles too. Kind of horribly annoying. Put so much effort into having a super clean fitment with the belndmount, and then the unit itself rattles like hell. Anyone know a good fix for this? Or, maybe just another model that doesn't rattle?

    Anyone regretting that they got the Sport suspension and Cup 2s?

    I have sports suspension with the goodyears. Idk if that's considered a bad move, or if the sports camber settings diminish the goodyears purpose, but it's been great as far as I can tell. My thinking was that the cup 2's would be too sticky to have fun with, and don't have as linear a slip...

    Switch on the sideview mirror

    Given the hullabaloo about hot radiator air from the hood vents coming into the cabin when the windows are open, I wonder if having the outside temp sensor there could skew the reading when driving

    How many Emira owners in SoCal?

    Hey ya'll. After seeing outofspec reviews do a full paint correction to an Emira, I want to get mine paint corrected (then will promptly PPF afterwards). Any really top notch paint correction shops around LA anyone is familiar with?

    Looks amazing. How did you order the spacers, direct through PDC?

    Crazy Question, can I modify the Emira have a removable roof?

    I assume the Emira heavily relies on the structural integrity of the roof. Anything less than the absolute best conversion, with all the additional design, support structure, testing, etc would likely just result in a very floppy feeling car. That's my feeling, but I also would LOVE to see you...

    GRP Emira Decat Pipes Now Available!

    Have my Emira in the shop getting some mods done. I'm unfortunately not all that handy myself. Crazy to learn that two shops now have rejected putting the 3rd decat pipe in because of a CA law that states if you remove any emissions related device there's a $100,000 fine. Lovely California.
