    New Owner in South Jersey

    Welcome! I’m in Philly, twinzy spec. Curious did the dealer say anything about the cup 2s being driven on at the temps we’ve been seeing? Michelin says they shouldn’t be stored or driven near freezing. I took mine off as a precaution. Although mine don’t have much life left after a few...

    FYI brake pad replacement…….

    I use an upholstery tack hammer and a small hex bit the hex bit is big enough to hold with two fingers and short enough to leave some room to swing the hammer. The hammer is small enough to maneuver and has enough mass to get things where they need to be with a few well placed taps.

    Latest Lotus all electric Emira just released

    Sadly I don’t think it’s available on Amazon any more. I went back to my orders and when I click the link it takes me to a general cheerful toys “cheerful toys” brand power wheel type cars listing for other models but not the lotus. Good luck in your search. I’ll post again if I find it...

    Latest Lotus all electric Emira just released

    I have one. It’s neat, my daughter is still a bit little to use it and she’s currently scared of it. But it’s not bad. Bought it on Amazon. The wire for one wheel broke at the soldering joint so I need to redo it. But my little one doesn’t even want to sit on it at the moment so I’m in no...

    Nice steering wheel I saw online

    I wonder if I can wire this to work on my racing sim?

    Is anyone running 19" track wheels?

    Good to know about the limited tire availability, I was actually saying no spacers, just a wider wheel with the right offset to allow for a similar flush fitment and the wider width tires. But if there’s not a lot of tire options then it’s potentially moot.

    Is anyone running 19" track wheels?

    With the right offset I also wonder about 255 in the front and 305s in the rear for a max grip track setup. Feels possible if people are adding ~10mm spacers to the stockers but I’m far from an expert on this sort of thing.

    Is anyone running 19" track wheels?

    I might try it. Ill Have a look next time I have the tires off. I already swap wheels and pads, and change fluids, it’s prob two more bolts to remove it. I’d love lighter wheels and cheaper 200tw track tire options.

    Is anyone running 19" track wheels?

    Why not remove the parking brake for track use when you swap wheels and pads? You shouldn’t use a parking brake at the track anyway on a hot rotor. It really would open up a lot of options for 200tw tires. For manual cars just leave it in gear. Would that work?

    Anybody purchase wheels from Aerie?

    I just thought of something funny…perhaps somewhat true. Most Lotus Emira owners are probably a lot more patient than the me, or the average Joe. Considering how long most of you waited for your cars 😂. I lucked into mine this summer and gave it a home after it was orphaned by whoever...

    Anybody purchase wheels from Aerie?

    It’s Good to hear some positive experiences from others. The delay wouldn’t have been the end of the world, It sounds like most of you experienced that, although it’s silly, why not just post a more realistic timeframe on your website? But anyway, the thing that put me over was the attempt...

    Anybody purchase wheels from Aerie?

    I agree. You should communicate clearly to all customers. What you have stated above is not the case for my order and I have the email transcripts and order confirmation as evidence. Aerie quotes 21 working days from production to shipment. It took several weeks longer. No proactive...
