If they brought out an AMG 4.0 Bi Turbo edition I would probably be tempted back into buying one. I sold my Emira V6 due to the issues and bought a 2018 1 owner AMG GTC Roadster with 5k miles. I have never owned a V8 before and what a great exhaust sound they make. I did go 200 cell cats and OPF...

All the parts were sold except the carbon mirror covers which are still available. Shame they don't fit on my new car which is crying out for a set.

One thing to consider is most manufacturers when stated from a weight that is for the smallest width on that size. When I was looking for wheels one stated from 18 pounds for the 19s but in our width it was 21.3. I would get them to show the wheel on a scale and commit to a weight in writing...

The last items I have left are the carbon mirror cover at £75 and the full Miltek exhaust with cat bypass and valve controller unit. The exhaust costs £2274.48 at their reduced price (perfect condition used for less than 1000 miles). I would sell the whole exhaust for £1000 and if someone...

Hi John, Do you want to chat about the exhaust? Stu

Now I have sold my Emira I don't want to come over as an Emira basher because I loved the car. Certainly in the UK Toyota has a very high reliability history and great dealer back up. If Lotus can't get the back up right in the UK for parts availability, customer support and build quality it is...

I had supertech valves and springs on my previous built engine RS3 running 650-700hp. They were perfect and the recommended product by several engine builders for that platform running inn excess of 1000hp. Different product but shows they are capable of producing quality products. I thought...

Personally I think the proportions are nowhere near as nice as the Emira. Either it is too high or too short. The real threat if people like the shape is reliability and dealer network standards.

This has been commented on a few times on car reviews that the gearbox doesn't like first to second high rpm changes. Mine also had that issue. Apparently the gearbox didn't come from a high revving sporty car. I wonder if the gear ratio change kit JUBU sell would make a difference?

Yes I would for £950

The only item still for sale is the exhaust system. I am waiting on a reply for shipping to the States but first person to agree a deal will have it reserved for them. This is a dirt cheap price for a full system, bypass pipe, and controller in perfect condition, especially if you are in the UK.

The wheels and tyres have now gone.

If someone in the UK is interested in the wheels and tyres I would reduce the price to £1750 if the collector them. If some outside of the UK wants to arrange shipping I’d do the same.

I also have a set of gloss black Aerie V2 lightweight alloys with Michelin Cup 2 tyres. They were only on the car for about 250 miles and are as new. I even had them ceramic coated and had new oem spec TPMS sensors fitted. Fitted and balanced using minimal amount of black weights on the inside...

As you may know I decided to sell my Emira and having hardly driven it I have all of the parts I bought for sale. 1. £1250 - Full Miltek exhaust with cat bypass and valve controller unit. These cost £2274.48 at their reduced price (perfect condition used for less than 1000 miles). 2. £1250 -...

Will an intercooler upgrade be enough to to reduce the build of heat in the engine bay? Lotus had heat issues they needed to overcome just getting to 400hp. You are never going to have the air flow of a front engines car and many AMG A45s have gone pop at 500+ without having built engines...

The Emira is being replaced with a 1 owner 2018 Mercedes AMG GT C (4.0 V8 twin turbo 560hp). 4000 miles, full details history and looks like new. Out of my price range new but the price of a new Emira now. It isn't the stunning looker of the Emira but it has so much optioned by it's owner. Rear...

That's a nice daily and especially being AWD.

I have put a deposit on a Mercedes AMG GTC. Not quite the same but it should be very reliable. Its a 4.0 V8 with 560hp, DCT, CCBs, rear wheel steering, dry sump and virtually all available options. I know I will miss the Emira but I think to get it to what I want will be expensive and easier to...

Finally everything is sorted on the car and it is running correctly but I have decided to say good bye to it. It is a really hard decision but I don't think after 12 months of ownership I can say that Lotus is not the brand for me. Yes it is the best looking car I have ever had, yes it's a great...

Great calculator. The only think I could think that would make it better is manual or auto option because I still think 3.0 is a hard target without launch.

Sadly I have to agree with you on this one. My RS3 was AWD and did 3.8 with 400hp. to drop to 2.8 took and extra 250hp, serious chassis mods, diff etc and costs a fortune without even costing the built engine. With a manual box 3 seconds will not be possible at 500hp on a RWD Emira and that is...

I totally agree and suggest you record every call and email you send regarding any issue regardless of how trivial. Welcome to the forum and hope you get some good sting in now you have ran it in. Personally I’d change the oil and filter at this point.

I’m a bit confused here because one post says 20hp increase and the above is clearly more. I’d be happy with 53 ft torque and 468hp. I understand each mod such as an exhaust will not give an accumulation of increases if used with many others. For example 20hp with a system and car delete won’t...

A mate of mine has a 2023 manual Cayman GTS and using a Draggy meter said the average 0-100 kph he gets is 4.4. I checked on the Porsche site and that says 4.5. I have no doubt there are variables like being run in, tyres, whether etc., but he said he has never gone below 4.38...

Finally I managed to get it back with all the faults fixed. The head technician is convinced it was the ECU all along which was making it miss fire on cylinder 2 which quickly destroys the plug and causes problems with the lambda sensors due to over fuelling. I always thought it was a bit...

because they assume we will be loyal enough to buy them whatever the offerings are. :ROFLMAO: Where are the carbon exclusive parts or performance upgrades? :cautious:

All done, checked for faults, test driven and clear to be given back. That was a long old 5 weeks after it having just been away for 7 weeks for the doors, wing, spraying, PPF and air con fix. Lets see if it drives like new and what difference the GRP quick shift makes.

Well apparently all parts are fitted and tomorrow they will add the latest software, clear all faults and do an extended test drive. If all goes well they will fit the quick shift and I will have it back on Friday latest. meanwhile the BMW 2.0 3 series loan car is still the fastest car on the...

I can't see any on their website either. Looks nice but I would like to see what it like fitted in case it has a raised look.

I agree, I didn't think I would ever say that about a wooded gear knob but it does work with the interior colour. Pity Lotus don't sell a range of these including a carbon fibre version.

A set of 18s would be nice for a GT4 look, and especially if someone had a replica body kit.

I think the 21s look really good, but I already have one set of wheels spare and now I would love some 21s and 18s if someone ever got some that would fit.

I thought we can't get 18s to fit due to the electric brake?

The main 2 tuning products out there are JUBU and Komotek. What up with your 440 tune because from what I have read owners have been getting the teething problems fixed.

Has anyone ever considered 21 inch wheels? It would be good to see a render of them. Front OEM 255/35/20 = 686.5mm Front 255/30/21 = 686.0mm Rear OEM 295/30/20 = 685.0mm rear 305/25/21 = 685.9mm This has got to be the closest I have ever got changing wheel sizes with...

A week goes by and at last the parts have arrived. I have been told they will start in it this week but no guarantees it will be finished until next week. At least I still have a hire car paid for but likely this next issue goes into the fifth week for sure. Now does anyone care to take bets on...

I don't blame them because it must be a nightmare being a dealer compared to a mainstream manufacturer like VW or Ford. There is so much conflicting information and the dealers state that is what they have been told. One dealer said the V6 is coming back to the UK, another said it will never...
