    Lotus Emira 3.5L V6 Oil Change How-to Video

    Hell yeah it can be done on ramps. I’ve done 2 oil changes on the Emira thus far. Make sure you get that angled funnel too. Makes it so much easier to pour in the new oil

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    Generally you should do a brake fluid flush every 2 years or so but most folks are doing it earlier if you track the car

    Is it weird I like driving it a lot more than modern 911's?

    Nice write up! Would you recommend the Porsche experience? I’ve considered it in the last

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    Did you do tires first then clutch? So it would be RR, LR, RF, LF then clutch?

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    Gotcha. Did you access the clutch nipple from above like other members? Btw do you have flared wrenches did you’d recommend?

    emira steering wheel button group buy

    They do the same exact things but the hard buttons are sooo much better. No more accidentally pausing songs or pressing an unintended button

    Lightweight battery

    Yeah that’s right. To be clear too, it was tight fit on my Evora GT. No idea if the battery tray is exactly the same for the Emira. Assuming yes given the rest of the car though

    Lightweight battery

    Not impossible just very tight. The most annoying part was when I had to do work on the car, you can’t just disconnect the negative terminal as it’s too tight. You need to unbolt the tray the battery it sits on etc

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    How did this work out for you, did you bleed the clutch first before the brakes? I’ve been reading up on this and it looks like in earlier Evoras you needed to access the nipple from underneath and was a complete pain. Seems like this is as easy as reaching into the engine compartment...

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Installed these pads a few hundred miles ago and they are legit. They have a progressive brake feel, definitely less grabby and much less dust than the OEM pads.
