Thanks for the review! Always interesting to see different takes on the car. These reviews make it easy to just send it to people who are interested about my car and the modifications. Since your review I've upped the front spring rates to 600 lbs to up the mid corner support. I've also upped the front and rear damping in general, and I'm still able to retain some street comfort when not on track. Car is a blast on track now, we'll need to sync up on a track day so you can test it there.
where can i find that touchscreen valve controller?? it looks awesome! and how was it mounted to the side like that?
Looks really good
What are the wheel offset and alignment settings???
There is only one problem with this car, it is too fat! Compare it to the V6 400+kW Exige, same engine, but heaps faster. I get you didn't get this car in the USA, but the Emira is just to heavy, to comfy, to be a real Lotus.
I just wonder why they don't drive manual gearboxes in the F1 anymore, since it's so much better than a gearbox shifting in under 0.1 seconds without loss of power transmission and both hands glued to the wheel? First thing I did was to remove my leather steering wheel replacing it with an 1898 iron broomstick steering crank.
This is interesting. I’m about to install modal triple adjustable coilovers to mine. The stock suspension is fine, but with the right set up you can improve both street comfort and performance. I’m also interested in those seats because the stock ones while comfortable, really do not provide adequate adequate lateral support

What about the engine?
Why do you dipsh1t manufacturers keep pulling these GD gimmicks?
"The 60 degree V6 is mechanically compromised for a pure sports car like the Emira because it lacks inherent primary balance.
Because a V6 is essentially two 3-cylinder engines sharing a crankshaft, it suffers from an unavoidable diagonal 'rocking couple.' The pistons at opposite ends of the engine are constantly moving in reverse directions. This creates an end-to-end rocking vibration that tries to physically twist the engine block back and forth.
To fix this, manufacturers have to add heavy internal balance shafts and heavy split-crankpins just to smooth out the forces. Those heavy counterweights kill throttle response.
There is a reason Toyota kept an I6 in the Supra.
There is a reason that Porsche uses HORIZONTALLY OPPOSED sixes.
There is a reason that the Corvette doesn't have a GD V6 when GM makes very robust V6 engines.
I had Ohlin triples on my Exige and they were magic. I was able to use the same settings for street and track!!! They really are a great investment.
I love the way it looks. My Elise was fun but just painful to be in. I understand lightweight but damn, zero padding in the seat . I loved it though. Im not thrilled with the way the Emiras shifter looks.
watching this video I felt that almost any next moment the driver would go directly into a truck or car head-on . Glad he choose not to commit suicide this day .
So, what exactly did he do to make the steering feel tighter? I don’t be believe changing wheels will do that
Finished the engine & body mods to mine. Valvetronic race exhaust, Eventuri intake, JUBU plug & play ECM and pulley. Dyno’d at 430rwhp. Sounds epic and runs like a scalded ape.
Vorsteiner splitter, side skirts, diffuser, spoiler and BBS rims will round it out.
Too much horsepower for a street car.
Did you sell your emira?
Are you selling that valve controller screen?
Nice video! I noticed you compared the brakes of the Emira and Porsche.
Could you also compare the brakes between the Emira and ND Miata, especially in terms of heel-and-toe?
