One thing to consider is most manufacturers when stated from a weight that is for the smallest width on that size. When I was looking for wheels one stated from 18 pounds for the 19s but in our width it was 21.3. I would get them to show the wheel on a scale and commit to a weight in writing...

The last items I have left are the carbon mirror cover at £75 and the full Miltek exhaust with cat bypass and valve controller unit. The exhaust costs £2274.48 at their reduced price (perfect condition used for less than 1000 miles). I would sell the whole exhaust for £1000 and if someone...

Hi John, Do you want to chat about the exhaust? Stu

Now I have sold my Emira I don't want to come over as an Emira basher because I loved the car. Certainly in the UK Toyota has a very high reliability history and great dealer back up. If Lotus can't get the back up right in the UK for parts availability, customer support and build quality it is...

I had supertech valves and springs on my previous built engine RS3 running 650-700hp. They were perfect and the recommended product by several engine builders for that platform running inn excess of 1000hp. Different product but shows they are capable of producing quality products. I thought...

Personally I think the proportions are nowhere near as nice as the Emira. Either it is too high or too short. The real threat if people like the shape is reliability and dealer network standards.

This has been commented on a few times on car reviews that the gearbox doesn't like first to second high rpm changes. Mine also had that issue. Apparently the gearbox didn't come from a high revving sporty car. I wonder if the gear ratio change kit JUBU sell would make a difference?

Yes I would for £950

The only item still for sale is the exhaust system. I am waiting on a reply for shipping to the States but first person to agree a deal will have it reserved for them. This is a dirt cheap price for a full system, bypass pipe, and controller in perfect condition, especially if you are in the UK.

The wheels and tyres have now gone.

If someone in the UK is interested in the wheels and tyres I would reduce the price to £1750 if the collector them. If some outside of the UK wants to arrange shipping I’d do the same.

I also have a set of gloss black Aerie V2 lightweight alloys with Michelin Cup 2 tyres. They were only on the car for about 250 miles and are as new. I even had them ceramic coated and had new oem spec TPMS sensors fitted. Fitted and balanced using minimal amount of black weights on the inside...

As you may know I decided to sell my Emira and having hardly driven it I have all of the parts I bought for sale. 1. £1250 - Full Miltek exhaust with cat bypass and valve controller unit. These cost £2274.48 at their reduced price (perfect condition used for less than 1000 miles). 2. £1250 -...

Will an intercooler upgrade be enough to to reduce the build of heat in the engine bay? Lotus had heat issues they needed to overcome just getting to 400hp. You are never going to have the air flow of a front engines car and many AMG A45s have gone pop at 500+ without having built engines...
