    Any Ice Grey regrets?

    Ice grey here, absolutely no regrets. Wouldn't have it any other way. Currently at 8000 miles and the interior is mint. Time will tell how it will maintain, but the leather lotus used seems of good quality - I believe this is an important factor in how it will wear. I have had 2 recent cars...

    Emira weight distribution

    LEFT: References the left weight percentage - with a 50% value it means that right and left sides of the vehicle weight percentage is exactly the same (50/50); 1628 is the actual left weight in LBS. FRONT: References the front weight percentage - with 38.9% front weight distribution; 1269 is...

    GiroDisc Emira Slotted Rotors Initial Orders Sale

    Man, that does seem convenient. I agree, that's rather petty if that's the case. Greg's offer is a much better deal anyway and he went out of his way to get us a discount initially. You have my support!

    Nitron Suspension Development

    For those on Nitrons, are you able to acheive OE ride heights or is it still lowered maxed out? Curious about the height adjustment ranges.

    Transmission Mount Bushing Insert Kit

    Damn, I was afraid of that. How much more work after the rear clam is off?

    Transmission Mount Bushing Insert Kit

    Did you install them yourself? I took a peek back there and it looks like the rear trunk box has to come out for one to get to the rear transmission bracket? Front bracket looked even more difficult since the bolts look like they interefere with other sub components?

    VF Tuner for the Lotus Emira

    Great update and looking forward to seeing more progress. Have you been able to write to the ECU successfully? Also, do you see if the exhaust valve has a table of it's own?

    Thank you for confirming. Looks like I'll move fwd with the Solo then. I swear this forum just bleeds my wallet dry :cry:

    Emira track impressions

    Is boost pressure, afr, or ign timing available? I have a lot of hours on the AIM PDM32, but new and ignorant to the Solo line. I suspect it's all in the RS3 config like the PDM32?

    Emira track impressions

    You have AIM hooked up to your car? What protocol are you using and do you get majority of the channels available? I see the Evora as an available protocol in RS3, but curious what protocol gets you the most data. My data from an ELM OBD2 dongle and racechrono backs up your observation about...

    Recommendations for clutch fluid replacement interval

    Brake and clutch slave fluid shares the same reservoir, but they're divided internally. So they are not technically shared between the two. A few Evora owners have provided feedback to performing semi-annual clutch fluid exchanges.

    Emira track impressions

    Your additional feedback is a good data point. Just to add on this point about suspension stiffness, it's challenging to compare chassis to chassis unless we know the wheel motion ratios. I suspect you're already aware, but for those that aren't, they dictate the relationship/ratio between...

    Streetable track tires

    Agreed. I came to a similar conclusion. I'll continue my pressure sweep test the next time I'm back out there for more data.

    Streetable track tires

    Wouldn't be a bad idea! After I go through these ECF's, I'll give the Vitour P1 tire a try.

    Streetable track tires

    Sorry, I was mistaken. They do not offer the RE71RS in OE Emira sizes. I also only see the 285/35/20 offered on Tirerack.

    Streetable track tires

    I tracked the car on Continental ECF tires this Saturday and I was happy with the grip and heat tolerance available. Aside from R7's (I won't be running these on the Emira), all the other tires I'm used to running are not available for the OE wheel. It's considered an enduro 200TW tire so it's...

    That's awesome! He's so under recognized, because he doesn't do any marketing. Seems like it's all word of mouth. Very happy to hear there's someone here that knows him!

    Lustrious Gold is the color. It looks a bit flat/darker in the pics, but in the sunlight it's brighter and metallic.

    Removing factory seat and installing Tillet B10-tips and tricks

    If anyone is on the fence about these seats, I seriously urge you to try them if your body type allows. It has really transformed my engagement with the car. 1) I actually fit in the seat and it gives me all the necessary support, statically and while driving. 2) I no longer have to fight with...

    Removing factory seat and installing Tillet B10-tips and tricks

    Thank you! I'm pleased with how it turned out, especially being ignorant to upholstery/leather work. I bought EVA foam for the seat pads and sourced leather that was 8/10 match for ice white. I cut, shaped, and heat molded the EVA to the desired shape then took it, along with the leather...

    Removing factory seat and installing Tillet B10-tips and tricks

    I just installed my seat in today and decided to do some weigh ins. OEM - 58lbs Tillett B10 * Tillett rails - Seat pads are EVA foam and upholstered from a local shop = 23 lbs Can't wait until GRP can figure out a solution for the passenger side!
