Like I said. I wish you well.

Hmm... better read your own posts. I never said I "love" my JB4. I just gave you the reason why they got lots of units out. Your right. I think the way you respond to a bit of nudging give me a clue how you would deal with someone that had a problem with your product. I won`t slam the door on...

Serious? You haven`t even seen me give you a FUD yet. What I was trying to say before you got your di@k in a knot was that most people are not comfortable with sending their ecu to anyone by mail to have it "tampered" with. So I was saying that`s why most seem to be going with the piggy...

Sure. But atleast I don`t have to pull the brains out my car and Fed Ex it to someone to do a flash on it, then reinstall it, then do it all over again when it shits itself and outs my car into limp mode and have to send it back to you for analysis. Until you have a DYO situation, I doubt you...

Yes. You now have plenty of power to pull out of the corners, and power down the long straights, but you now don`t have the suspension, set up, and (*in my case) tp put that down on the road/track. That`s what (embarrassingly) found out on my recent track excursion. I was on the track with a...

So how does it work for a v6 in Australia. Do you just send the data cable and i download the tune you provide and I reflash myself?

I should have re read my post. What ever set up they put in the Emira, the extra width gave the car a less twitchier feel than the 410. I was a bit surprised at how it felt on track. When driving it on the road, the extra size and weight does feel cumbersome when compared to the 410. Once on...

Said I`d get back and note my experience after my first track day. It was more of a "get use to the new car" test rather than putting down hard lap times. I came out of a 410 Exige which did some pretty impressive laps time in it unmodified form. So I wanted to leave the Emira with it`s original...

Sorry. Nitrons or the jubu cage?

This is the answer I got when I asked if they could or need to tune my mods to get the most out of my JB4 stock tune. See if it makes sense to you. It would appear that variations are adapted to by the JB4. It is not typically necessary to make adjustments for bolt on modifications of this type...

Can you provide the vendors detail of this flash tune company please.

Wow. 4 single word posts in a row. That would get you $100k out of a pokie machine.

i agree. But what I am asking, is why only 44whp difference from base to map2 on this particular run. Burger showed base to map2 being 95whp difference. Watch the video. This figure was achieved from base to map 2 on the same dyno, in the same condition, on the same day. Were they bullshitting...

Any explanations why the Burger car got 50 more whp than yours? I’m starting to understand now why so many want to dyno their cars. I even switched my JB4 of on my drive this morning, and then switched back to map2 just to check what I am now use to is still there. And hell yes..it’s still all...

For those that have mods on their car and want to know if the JB4 unit has to be flash tuned for them to be effective. Burgers answe below to my email. It is not typically necessary to make adjustments for bolt on modifications of this type as the vehicle already takes advantage of any added...

It’s still running strong 5 years after I sold it. Lots of Lotus track days and a couple of Targa events.

Probably bugger all. There’s so much protection built into the ecu that the most common problem you might get is limp mode. Besides. I had an oil starvation isssue on the track in a past v6 exige I had, and the best part about that was I had to have the thing rebuild with forged everything. It...

Actually. Thats what my Lotus service guys suggested when I had it serviced a couple of weeks ago.

Simon. I’m sorry that you had a hard time with your car. But that’s the case for at least 20 other owner I personally know here down under. I guess I’d trash the shit out of the brand and try put anyone off buying one if I’ve experience the same. So I do get it.

I wish that were the case in Australia. Whatever math they use here is different to what they use in the UK. I sat opposite the Porsche sales guy whom I’ve bought cars from before, putting a cayman and a 911 together, and couldn’t get within a whiff of an emira for some $48k. Maybe Porsche are...

Think I might drop them an email.

On a different note. One not involving driving our cars on the dyno quite as much. Has anyone sent their logs back to Burger and asked them to “retune” for extra HP then download back to the JB unit. Is that something that can be done? If so, why don’t a few of us start doing this and see what...

Yeah. The doors and wheels are on the option list…as is the paint.

Finally. A real effing owner!

I’m yet to see even the most basic 911 with some basic options such as doors come even close to the price of an Emira. The same with a cayman gts. I had one optioned out here in Aus a few years ago and I couldn’t even get a look in under $269k. The Emira came in at $209. The secondhand caymans...

Yes. They fixed mine. Warranty job.

For a bit of fun, I sometimes drive around in map 0 for a short while, then flick across to map 2 and get that "holy crap" feel back again.

I`m glad that you are willing to do this. And I too will look at your data. I guess in Aus, we just do the mods, and take about how it feel on our buts, or how it pull out of the curves. We are not that use to the dynoplot here.

That`s actually not a bad price.

Reminds me of my 410 Exige

Love the ride hight.

Hi all. As a JB4 user(V6). I find it interesting how many in the US have their cars dynoed after this mod. Here down under, we dyno our cars only to tune in various parameters to mate any major mods to smooth things out any put safety's in pace. Not many of us use it to measure HP or torque...

To be fair EVO have never been that positive about the Emira in all their reviews. At least they are consistent. Theyve always been very German/French phillic.

I stopped reading motoring journals years ago. Opinions and arseholes… we’ve all got one.

Sounds like a future classic.

Lotus has been going broke since the day I bought my first Lotus 25 years ago.

Looks like I’m staying on map 2.

Quick question. On the v6 maps, there a map 3 that says race fuel. Does that mean you dump some octane boost(to get to about 103 to 106 octane), then select map 3 and off you go. Or is it a bit more to it than that

Not worried at all. Was just commenting on all the pretty colours. Car goes like a scalded cat. Did you want the log for your own research?
