Haven't logged onto the forum in awhile but I'm here to report that the EBC red stuff low dust pads are 100% worth the installation. Substantially less dust than the OEM pads, I would say 75%+ less dust. The install was relatively easy but regarding comments mentioning a tight/uneasy fit of the...

When the car is locked, the gas cap is locked. I'm guessing someone tried to pop it open as to vandalize your car, saw it was locked shut, so decided to just pry it off completely. If you are really in NYC, that's an area I see a lot of vandalism on the Civic Type R groups that I come from as...

Does anyone recommend a shop to install the 3rd cat delete in North FL/Jacksonville area? I can handle my own oil change, and the exhaust valve controller from Milltek, but I'm a bit intimidated by the 3rd cat delete job.

a couple photos from this week

From what I can see, this brand does not make pads for the Lotus Emira

The PPF at the cut seams on mine were not folded around the fenders and hood well enough to where they are now coming undone. Also, the PPF on my mirror caps wasn't done properly as well, so inspect your mirror caps closely.

GRP has had low dust EBC pads on back order, but told me yesterday they should be shipping out this week. My wheels are ceramic coated with G Techniq, while they clean easier than without a coating, they do nothing in terms of preventing dust build up. After a good cleaning, only 50-100 miles...

It definitely does. You can kind of see it in one of my videos here:

I'm wondering this as well. I know it's not apples to apples, but look at the Fisker debacle. Folks who bough $60k+ E-SUVs are stuck with near worthless bricks when they quit working. Rich Rebuilds recently bought a basically brand new one for super cheap that was not working. Last I checked he...

Yikes. They are bleeding with these numbers. I really love my Emira and I am rooting for the Lotus business to thrive, but these numbers are alarming for sure.

Yes I did get the red/low dust spec...Other members in the forum in the past have installed them as well. I am not aware of fitment issues but will report back

I just ordered the EBC pads from GRP. I've had it with the OEM pads, I can't drive 100 miles without my ceramic coated wheels looking like shit. I always used Akebono low dust pads on my Civic Type Rs of the past, but Akebono confirmed with me over email they will not be producing pads on the...

Only 700 FE 1.0 were produced for an MSRP of $93,900. I was lucky enough to get one of the 1.0. For me, that's the biggest exclusivity selling point, a decent chunk of change less on the MSRP for the same car as the 2.0

Where do they plug in? The website isn't clear. The photo looks like it maybes goes into the fuse box?

What problems are you having that is requiring the Emira to be in the shop? I'm guessing you're in Pasco county, is your dealer Lotus of Orlando? I had my deposit through them and test drove their mule, but ultimately was able to buy from an orphaned Emira in NC and got my deposit back from...

I went with State Farm for my 2011 Civic Si (daily driver), 2020 RDX A Spec (wife's car) and my Emira FE. My premium is ~1800 per 6 months, 100k/200k limits, 2k deductible. Perfect driving record/no accidents/no tickets. It's worth noting that I got an extra discount on my auto insurance because...

I sold my 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition, number 367/600, for purposes of picking up the Emira. For the price point, the Civic Type R is in a league of its own. For $50k you get incredible reliability, comfort, sportiness, and rareness. I NEVER see a Type R in the wild, lead alone a Phoenix...

I too had your numbers 2, 3 and 5. Number 2 went away with an ODB tool where I reset the error in reference to the gas cap not being shut properly causing a vacuum leak/error. CEL never came back after this reset. Number 3 happens occasionally for me, so on my iPhone I go to settings >...

Perhaps I've missed it, but is there any difference between Milltek Cat Bypass Pipe for Emira and the GRP Emira Cat Delete/Race Exhaust Pipe? Is the only main difference just brand? Thanks

This was my exact thought. I think both cars will get a lot of clicks, so they just went with it. It's so hard for me to get excited for 2 pedal sports cars. I could win the lotto and probably still wouldn't buy one

At 1200 miles, I'm getting comfortable launching from a start and going to redline. Still pinching myself that I own this car on every drive.

Jeopardy Q/A on YouTube for reference 😆

As far as the Emira trade in for the McLaren, I'll say what I've always said. If it doesn't have 3 pedals...I just can't help but think "boring". I guess I'm old school in that way.

I'm in Florida and drove through my first rain storm at 1100 miles. My wiper blades were stuttering a bit too, but they squeegeed the window well and did the job. I don't think the stuttering was drastic enough on my Emira to cause concern, but seeing your post, I did just notice this this past...

I put 15k miles on my 2019 Civic Type R and had a dozen or so rock chips found between the mirror caps, hood and bumper. Ever since then, I always get PPF, you can't even tell it's there and you will never have a rock chip. I personally love PPF

I'm okay with that, I only weekend drive/street drive my Emira and mine will never be tracked. I had Akebono pads on my Civic Type R and with my ceramic coated wheels, they virtually never needed washed. With only 1,100 miles on my Emira, and with my Emira wheels ceramic coated, I need to wash...

Can you let us know once you've had some time on them how the brake dust is? I am definitely looking to swap out my pads for low dust pads.

If I'm not mistaken, only 700 FE 1.0 units were sold/shipped to USA. Every First Edition beyond that is the 2.0 at the 2.0 increased price

As far as the bumper edges sticking out, I also have similar fitment like your photos but I think that's perfectly normal. My prior 2019 and 2021 Civic Type Rs also had fitment discrepancies on the front and rear bumper. For me, this is not a problem enough to raise it with the dealer or Lotus...

I'm noticing a decent amount of brake dust on my new Emira, and in the past while owning Civic Type Rs, I've swapped the OEM pads out for Akebono ceramic low dust pads which were insanely low dust...virtually no dust at all. I emailed Akebono directly who told me they will not be making pads for...

I followed the photo here to tuck the rubber guard into the cap hole, now I have no problems at all. I'm kind of an idiot for not thinking of that the first time 🤣

Got it, thanks all for the advice. Glad to know I'm not the only one wondering this. I'll use cheap microfiber towels moving forward.

I filled up my first tank of gas. The angle that the pump has to go into the tank is really difficult to do without allowing the pump handle's circular rubber guard from touching the finished paint. I started to look for like a pump extension adapter to fill up with to completely avoid the...
