I do Sir. My car is a long term ownership thing for me. Other than the O2 sensor failures, my car has been bulletproof (knock on wood). I love my Emira and although I don’t drive it as much as I would like it does bring a smile to my face when I get behind the wheel.

Nope. I don’t know anybody in BMW circles.🤪 I personally had O2 sensor failures early in the life of my Emira, which was a known problem. The injector thing didn’t come from me, but I’ll ask the service writer about it next week when I take the car to the dealer. See if there is any concern.

Understood Porter. I trust your knowledge 👍

I have my Emira scheduled for 1,000 mile service week and I will certainly inquire about the injector issue. News to me😳 I was told by a very reliable source that part/component quality in some areas of the Emira are not as good vs, the Evora. O2 sensors being one example. Maybe injectors as...

If using Octanium Unleaded in vehicles with Emission Control Devices (ECD), dosage should be limited to 11 oz per 10 gallons of gasoline. Non-ECD vehicles can utilize up to 23 oz per 10 gallons of gasoline for long-term use or 32 oz per 10 gallons for short-term use but will require more...

Now that is funny. Thankfully, 93 octane is readily available in Missouri. In the past, I could buy VP Racing 5 gal. pails for $60 that I ran in a Mustang GT that was highly modified. Not anymore 😳

This is good to know. I wonder if running the OBD setup for a few months would be beneficial and then disconnect? The routing of the cable would be a temporary scenario (if that’s possible). I will have the GRP CAI, 3rd Cat delete, Milltek controller and exhaust. So I’m thinking the ECU will...

Confusing to say the least. My scheduled install is early July, so maybe the easier OBD set up will be available 🙏

Appreciate the detailed first impression. My JB4 and Darkworks bracket ships next week, looking forward to getting everything installed.

It’s all good Greg. Guys on the forum know you are solid and support the community.

You Sir are underestimating your mechanical skills. I hope I do not find myself in a similar predicament. It would probably be cheaper to pay for all of expenses if I had a snapped axle to help me with the install vs. me taking at shot at this solo. Can you say Sh**show🤪

I’m following this thread with keen interest. I have multiple upgrades lined up for install (including the JB4) when my Emira gets fired up for the summer car rotation. Obviously, a broken axle is a painful experience that all of us would like to avoid. Maybe it comes down to driving style...

While I have not purchased Aerie wheels, I did buy a lot of Aerie CF pieces. It took some time for everything to arrive, but Jason delivered. He responds much better via WhatsApp, I would give that a try.

Excellent work Sir!!! I’ll share this video with my shop to help with the installation. The tips you have outlined will certainly reduce frustration and save time.

I will add, no CEL after running for a month with OEM parts. Just my bad luck I guess.

I found it odd as well, but It’s me vs. the dealer. I have probably close to $5K invested my cool parts and labor to install and un-install the parts. The Milltek, GRP parts are sitting in my basement 😡

I did not do the headers, but otherwise had your setup. My car threw a CEL about a week after getting everything installed. I took the car to my Lotus dealer and they scanned the car for codes. They claim the codes go to Lotus automatically??? My dealer/Lotus said the modification ruined the...

I’m not tempting fate with any mods based on my exhaust fiasco. With my luck, I’d get a CEL with an aftermarket intake system and the whole cycle would start over again with my dealer. Good luck to you brave and lucky souls that don’t have issues with your mods.

Based on my experience, I would agree with this assessment. I‘m waiting to get my car back after all the OEM exhaust bits were reinstalled and new Cats/O2 sensors fitted. If I ever put the 3rd Cat delete, Milltek exhaust/controller back on the car, probably won’t install the non-OEM mid pipe...

News to me. I like the subtle effect and appearance. My Evora400 flaps caught a lot of junk. Seems like a simple install. I’ll ponder a purchase😉

I’m in.

I can confirm the $1149 number was quoted to me as well. Hard to wrap your head around that price.

My Emira got very positive feedback back at a recent Cars&Coffee. The Aerie CF pieces drew lots of attention and smiles.

Happy to help out, but my concern is that I’m really not sure when the installation of the Eventuri system will take place. Greg @GRP might be able to get the dyno done easier and faster than me as he will be installing the Eventuri on the shop’s project car.

I would certainly think so, but in talking to Greg today he is confident in the track record of Eventuri and their development success. I orderd the kit, but will wait until GRP installs one on their project car for the mere purpose of a good installation write up.

I had the Milltek 3rd cat delete, Milltek exhaust, and Milltek controller installed last Thursday. Also had a GRP mid pipe installed (non insulated version). I plan on running valve open 100% of the time. A truly transformative upgrade. Zero code issues.

2450/2750 Euros for the side/rear vents is insane. Aerie is close to releasing the side and rear vents at a much more reasonable price point (I hope). I have the front vents, but want to do all of the vents at the same time.

Lotus is a rudderless mess right now. I‘m not optimistic about the long term health of the company😔

Some photos of the Aerie Carbon Fiber pieces installed on my Emira. Very high quality carbon and an easy installation. Everything matched up to OEM fitment and existing hardware.

I plan on leaving the valve open 100% of the time. My wife’s hearing isn’t the best, so I’ve got that going for me.🤣

Some of the UK Emira customers have been running the Milltek exhaust for quite awhile and I’m not aware of any widespread issues with the valve not functioning properly. I’ve contacted Milltek in the U.S. asking specifically about this issue and I feel they would be honest if a problem did...

I have the the rear diffuser, front splitter, and side skirts installed. Fitment was seamless. IMO, very high quality Carbon Fiber. Unfortunately, I’m on vacation right now. I’ll get photos uploaded when I get home over the weekend

It’s interesting - Porsche takes a different approach (at least in my experience). They know many of their customers want to do mods for the track or a more aggressive street set up. I have a ‘23 GT4 with Fabspeed exhaust and a M-Engineering tune. Not a mention of voiding the warranty from...

Exploring re-entry into F1😳 I’d love to see it, but talk about a huge financial commitment-serious $$$ required.

That is certainly unfortunate 😔 Milltek has established a few U.S. Lotus dealerships as authorized distributors/installers. Lotus Detroit, Lotus of DC, and Lotus Jacksonville so far. Maybe this info will help your cause🙏

This would be really good to know. I haven’t had the “discussion“:with my Lotus dealer about installing the exhaust 😳

That’s the way I understand it as well after communication with Milltek in the U.S. I’m waiting on the GRP Midpipe and then I will have the Milltek 3rd cat delete, Milltek exhaust, and valve controller (using OEM valve) installed.

Zero issues and 250 miles on the odometer. From my Evora400 ownership, I know things can change very quickly - for the worse😳
