The Verde Ithaca paint on my Evora GT was an $8100 option! It's excellent quality though. 3 stage paint job and they actually used Lambo paint. I am curious to see if the Emira paint has gotten any better. Many detailers reported it being extra soft and I'm hoping it was due to them rushing to...

No problem. Those ramps are sketchy, especially when working 3 pedals! Also, the front jack points can be hard to reach with most floor jacks. If you have 2 jacks you can jack up the rear just a little and then have more clearance up front to slide in your second jack to the front point.

Pro tip: Jack up the rear of the car and just slide the ramps under the wheels one at a time. It's much easier and safer. I have the Rhino ramps and they'd slide all over the place after I had my floor done. I ended up cutting up an old yoga mat to keep them in place. After a few close calls, I...

Welcome to the forum! There have been over 3k Emira sold on North America. Plenty available both new and pre-owned.

Nice! Another Hawk pad option I recommend trying is the HPS 5.0. They aren't as low dust as these ceramic pads, but they are MUCH less dusty than the stock AP (or Ferodo DS2500) and will brake better and resist fade more than the ceramics. Can't really go wrong with either.. Just depends on your...

Welcome to the club! Great color choice. 😎

Lookin good! I recommend this black EZ pass skin to help hide the floating white rectangle. :cool:

Emira is a close 2nd for me though! ;)

There is. I posted some pics and video of their testing rig on my Instagram a couple years ago. I've been waiting (hoping) for someone to crack it and customize the digital display. I'd like to see analog look gauges as well as the increased redline after a tune.

Haha, just wait until you pull the under tray panel in the rear and see what dumps out of the rear bump covers behind the wheels.

Good luck with the lemon law fight. The PS pump issue was pretty common on early Emira builds. Lotus is pretty strict about mods and can easily tell when the ECU has been flashed.

Happy to have you @shinoo! 🥳

Welcome to the party @MissedApex!

Great review! Amazing fuel economy too. Guess that's another perk of the i4. Sorry about the curbed wheel. Maybe a good excuse to buy an aftermarket set? 😉

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

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

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. 👌🏽

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.).

That's a big deal in the Lotus world. 😜

The Racing Line updates are interesting.. Still waiting on the carbon bits though.. 🤔 Racing Line Finally, Lotus launches the Racing Line. For enthusiasts who want to give their Emira an extra sporty look, Lotus introduces the Racing Line design option, available on the Turbo SE and V6 SE...

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

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...

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:

Oh no!! Man, I told you to go inside. @Six Speed Stephen knows a thing or two about broken Emira axles.

Badge shot..

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.

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.

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...

Good call. I made sure my Lotus policy had zero deductible windshield coverage.

I have a pinned story on my Instagram that covers the important parts of the install. It's basically the same for the Emira, unless you just want to plug into the usb port in the rearview mirror...

Welcome! Beautiful Emira 💛 I love Oregon. We have quite a few members from the PNW!

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...

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...

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

Nice! I love Sedona!!

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.
