    DIY: Floating Console Modification

    I don't have one on hand. but I can tell you, in general it's not very perceivably bright. Maybe it's 'better' on the passenger side for us US folks but my recollection is it is a very soft blue-ish light. It's very subtle and I have to be reminded it's there.

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    I don't think a V8 is too big. Granted, if we just pushed the V6 out to a V8 in size it would only be a 4.6 Liter. So, I'll grant you that your options for V8 Might only be bigger than that and start taking up more room than is present. I think they won't bother with V8 if they can only do it...

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    To the point about a Supercharger and associated additional bits for cooling. I actually do think that if you could cast up a new block of the exact same architecture as the V6 and add 1 cyl per bank and could theoretically achieve similar power (or more) to the V6+ supercharger, you would...

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    8 track days?! Wow. I haven't looked at my pads yet, but I know a couple different people who went through pads in 1 track day. I suspect I'm 3/4's in at this point.

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    I ran track mode. Never had an issue, car stepped out once or twice but I wasn't looking at the dash to see how many lights came on. There's still a full disable button for ESC and Traction even beyond putting into Track.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    The tariff is also targeting "Imported Parts", which is all aside from the Steel and Aluminum tariffs. Which, even if the US starts producing more of its own, will still be more expensive (even if you did it entirely with robots) because no-one is incentivized to sell you 10 dollar block of...
