    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Cool idea, but yeah... I'd also want to see it more louvered so rain wouldn't fall right in.

    Received good news from my dealer

    Right!? That's a ~$24k increase over a fully loaded FE 1.0. 🤯

    Delaware Area Spotted Thread

    Went out for a quick ride today and spotted 2 Emira!! Pretty wild since I normally see 1 or 2 a year.. then today there's 2 in one short trip! One was Magma with silver wheels on 141 and the other was this Seneca reveal spec on 95 in Wilmington. Looked amazing. 👌🏽

    How did you get/choose your forum name?

    Mine is just ALEX but forum fancy. 🤷‍♂️ I'm that or Verde Ithaca on most places now. Previous forums I was usually Alx+whatever car I had (AlxSTi, Alx300ZTT, AlxGTI, etc.).

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    Press release only mentions UK and Euro (Germany) prices.. I'm sure these updates will be coming to North America too.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    My stage 2 (downpipe and flash) '06 STi ran 12 flat in the 1/4 mile with street tires and that trans could take 6k clutch dumps all day long. I know the Lotus platform isn't built for drag racing, but it's a hard pill to swallow considering it was a $30k 4 door Subaru and these are $100k+ exotic...

    Calipers matched to Isotope green

    Hell yeah! Looks amazing @yk793. Who did the calipers? And you bought from RDS/Philly? Gotta be the same one I took these shots with:

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Bro, go inside and rest! Thanks for doing this though. Let the tune smooth out after a bit of driving and do these runs again next week or whenever you're feeling better.

    Matt Windle promoted, says he wants to build more cars at Hethel

    Exactly. I can only imagine how many angry letters they received during the long and painful Emira rollout. Most companies now just have a social media marketing team manage customer communications.

    Anyone moved away from 'LTS' bespoke tyres?

    PS4S is the popular choice, for good reason, but I opted for the Conti ECS02s on my GT. They are on par with PS4S, but have a stiffer sidewall and usually a few hundred bucks cheaper. TireRack frequently has Continental rebate offers. I run PS4S on my daily driven GTI, but wanted to try...

    Insurance quote: 4.8x the price of my 2007 Exige S

    Bumping this thread with an update on my end... I'm currently paying $1907/yr with State Farm for my Evora GT with no agreed value (so market value only and this is added to my existing policy with daily drivers and home). So after Progressive said they wouldn't insure a GT, I ended up getting...

    Jokerz Performance Supercharger porting

    Olympic Motorsports has tuned a few Evora GTs with the Jokerz ported blowers, as well as smaller pulleys, larger throttle bodies, etc.. You can call and speak directly with the owner, Luiggi, and I'm sure he'll give you all the info needed. They've been posting some impressive dyno charts with...

    Jokerz Performance Supercharger porting

    I've heard Jokerz does good work, but actual performance gains are minimal. Money is spent better elsewhere.. Like seat time and brake pads. 😉

    Introducing the Clark edition Emira

    Same V6 powertrain but special livery and interior bits. I like the wooden shift knob. Unsure about the single red seat. Either way, it's a very cool tribute to one of the greatest drivers ever. Limited to 60 worldwide. More details on the Clark Edition Emira here.

    Lotus introduces ‘Lotus Chapman Bespoke’

    Sounds about right. The special metallics will likely be a $4-5k premium and the fancy tri-coats $8-10k.

    Lotus introduces ‘Lotus Chapman Bespoke’

    Yeah, a fully loaded V6 MT first edition was $93k when I ordered mine. I realize they're a lot more now.

    Insurance quote: 4.8x the price of my 2007 Exige S

    And they just said they won't cover my car. They just straight up won't insure a Lotus Evora. When I asked why and told her I had friends with their Emira insured through Progressive, she said something about it having to be +/- 2 years old.. Wtf?
