    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Admittedly i’ve lost track of all the feedbacks from this thread so i might be wrong, but it seems to me it turned “V6-only JB4 tuning”. Very little info about the i4. I really hope i am wrong and just missed the info.

    Paint/panel problems....never ending problem?

    Also, wouldn’t privately fixing an issue covered under warranty void the warranty on the fixed parts?

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    I feel you, but things don’t have to be all black or white. We can be certain of something that *could*, after all, work differently than what we think if put in another context. Also, we tend to worry too much about what other people think. Manual and dct are both cool if put in the right...

    To PPF or not to PPF

    I wasn’t quoted that price, there i was talking about the yt video. My dealer quoted around 4-4.5k euros for full pre-cut xpel ppf.

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    There’s no need to feel guilty 😉 there’s nothing wrong with a dct gorgeous car as the i4, really. Just don’t keep on thinking “but it’s not manual”, and trust your instinct! Loved it? Go for it.

    To PPF or not to PPF

    Interesting. I was watching a video on yt a couple days ago where a detailer was saying quite the opposite about bugs stains on ppf. Something like they’re hard to clean off or maybe that they still reached the paint somehow…i can’t remember precisely though. Oh btw the same detailer was talking...

    To PPF or not to PPF

    The more i think about ppf, the more i can’t clearly see a point in its function. Ok, PPF is supposed to help protect the paint. I can’t stand having a chipped car paint, but wouldn’t it be as bad looking having a chipped/keyed ppf? Sure the paint would be safe, but the PPF will need a...

    Pricing Thoughts....

    As good as the A110 can be, I would never get one. It's simply not appealing to me. The cayman is so different from the Emira I think they just can't be compared. The Porsche is way more daily than the Emira, has a different feeling to it and gives different vibes. I first got the Emira because...

    Fresh owner and upset

    The dealer next to where I live explained me that every dealer should perform a pre delivery inspection to check and fix all of the issues and updates the car has/needs. The dealer where I got the car definitely did NOT perform such an inspection. I can't do but give credit to your "can't be...

    Fresh owner and upset

    That looks like the evolution of my same issue after 1 year! As bad as it might sound, it kind of relieves my pain, since this must mean something happens at factory level, and not something weird and specific to my car and/or my dealer. Having said that, I'm so sorry to hear you still have the...

    emira steering wheel button group buy

    WOW 😅 respect for the braves. For me, the steering wheel buttons will have to wait until i have nothing left to lose then 😁

    emira steering wheel button group buy

    I've never played around with car stuff so this is going to be the dumbest question of all time, but...i'm so afraid the airbag could explode on my face if i do something not stupidly wrong, but just slighly wrong. Am i too paranoid or does this actually takes some experience to be installed?

    Fresh owner and upset

    Ok guys so it took me 4 working days to get some damn isopropyl alcohol, but today i finally got it and i am super glad to report that all of that white stuff was indeed compound left from polishing. This was a huge relief, so no weird respraying all over the place. Now i'll try to get the rear...

    Well done! 👍🏻

    Fresh owner and upset

    Thanks for your reference, and thank you all for your feedback! I'll look for some isopropyl alchol tomorrow and see if that's just some compound left from an unprofessional polish and let you know. Fingers crossed.

    Fresh owner and upset

    I’m no expert, but if that was the case, why a white base coat? Do they spray a white base coat before respray the original color when there’s bubbling?

    Fresh owner and upset

    Not stupid at all! I thought about it but had nothing with me to test with. Any suggestion? Cloth and water? I really hope that’s the case. Yes, unfortunately that looks very much like someone tried to cover some issue. I got the car as new from an officially licensed Lotus dealer. There are...

    Fresh owner and upset

    Hello everyone, I got my Emira less than 2 months ago, and drove it a total of 5-6 times, 1100km (990 of which back home coming from the Lotus dealer, pretty far from me). I’ve found some paint issues and I’m waiting for the dealer to schedule a fix covered by the warranty. Well, in the meantime...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Hey mate, thank you so much for your feedback! This looks more like a V6 only discussion so far, and you’ve been brave enough to go ahead and try. It sounds like it’s not easy at all to fit this thing into the I4. Looking forward to more feeback!

    I4 with Milltek, hp bump?

    Indeed here in EU is more about fighting restrictions, i agree. And in the meanwhile, i’m fighting against an incoherent evergrowing number of trucks that produce way more CO2 than a small bunch of sports car here and there. That 10% bump sounded so unrealistic to me, everyone would be swapping...

    I4 with Milltek, hp bump?

    I’m sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere in the forums, i did a search but could not find anything. In this video, the youtuber says that the i4 emira equipped with the Milltek exhaust has a power boost of around 10%. I’m no expert so this might sound dumb to some of you but…is...

    KEF - wired vs wireless

    I still have to do some proper testing (same as you - break in period, less than 1000km), but wireless streaming might be compressing data, while cable streaming might not. I’ll be testing this better shortly.

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    You did make me jealous! Now i’ve really got to see Daikoku sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. And the Fuji speedway track day…i can’t wait for it. Sounds like my next trip to Japan will be pretty car-intensive, and i love that. The grapefruit juice might have been there, but more as an...

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    I was having a stroll near Tokyo Tower today, came by a Ferrari showroom, then a Lamborghini and this beautiful Emira showed. Too much in a few seconds for my heart. This was the first Emira i ever saw in the wild!

    Selling my Emira...maybe

    The Emira is just a very nice toy that you can always buy/sell/change. The important things in life are others, and you sir are doing the right thing. Treasure every moment with you dad!

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Hey guys! Me no speak japanese as well 😃 i wish i could! We’re keeping an eye on the forecast, but we (me and my wife) might be in yokohama since the morning, so maybe just a short taxi from the central area (cup noodles museum or somewhere nearby) to Daikoku? If that’s a problem, we can take a...

    Calipers matched to Isotope green

    I don’t know, i still find myself confused about road car wrapping. The car in the video looks nice indeed, but the real thing is a no brainer for me 😉
