    Anyone bleed their own brakes on their Emira?

    Honestly I wouldn’t bother if you’ve never done it before. The car is new and the brakes by AP I think you’ll struggle to boil the fluid on a regular track day. Also how do you know that whatever you will replace it with is better than factory spec? At best a marginal gain, at worst you’ll end...

    Lotus Emira Service Notes

    If you want to know book time on engine remove and clutch replacement it’s 23 hours. I know because my clutch release bearing needs doing under warranty!!

    Gets in the way of a 3-4 shift.. First euro trip complete! Emira is a worthy GT. Biggest downside is the seats I think I’ll swap them out at some point for some Tilletts. Had similar complaints with all the non -bucketed 911s I’ve owned…

    Off to Bruges for a few days with luggage for two humans, dog crate, stair guard and dog luggage all just about fitted in still with space for humans! Wipers work, air con works, apple car play works, even the cold start stutter has disappeared and not returned in months, all paint intact and a...

    Lightweight battery

    Those prices are ridiculous. For context, I bought an 84aH LiFePO4 leisure battery (similar to their 110 model) for my camper for under £400 earlier in the year. They’re even less now. Indeed much lighter and smaller than the equivalent AGM or lead acid battery.

    Cold start stalling

    An update on this from me. My car was doing the stall start consistently, but it’s stopped since I started being more careful around how I washed it - being more careful with the jet wash around the intakes. Hasn’t done it for a couple of months. Might also be related to the drop in temps...

    How bad will the Emira depreciation be?

    No worse than any other 2 seat sports car. I don’t think it will be quite 50% after three years but it won’t be that far off.

    Number27 Emira V6 vs Evora 410

    I see it differently. If you want hardcore, Exige. If you want a road car, Emira. Evora is in the middle and this doesn’t make sense to me…

    Number27 Emira V6 vs Evora 410

    Here's Number27 comparing my Emira to an Evora 410... Was fun to compare the cars and do some of the driving in the film! I think Jack liked it, and the obvious conclusion is the Emira is a dialed back, but more usable version of the Evora. Shocker!
