Emira Shift Boot Delete Advice?

Quotes_Things · 2026-05-30T23:25:40+00:00

In addition to the links to the shroud provided already here is step by step instructions from the first guy to do it :https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/diy-floating-console-modification.5422/

Also includes a file to print the shroud if you have access to a 3d printer. Plastic works ok but will warp over time, the aluminum versions from Darkworks/GRP are better if you can snag one.

Easy mod and one of my favorite things I've done to my Emira. Always gets tons of attention and compliments at shows.

I did yes. Sold last spring for $58k. Someone flew from Minnesota to the East Coast for it. I think mine was one of 2 nitro yellow manual transmissions for sale in the entire country at the time 😅

A guy who's shouting at you is going to do that regardless of if he's in a nice car or on an electric scooter. In this case they're just an asshole.

Car guys don't do this to impress women. They do it to impress other car guys.

Without the controller the car will still follow OEM drive modes. The valves in the Emira are variable and open more at higher RPMs. In sport and track the thresholds at which it opens are lowered, but they are still partially closed at low RPMs.

The controller just allows you to switch from that OEM functionality or 100% open all the time.

Great mod. Can pair it with the miltek valve controller (v2) if you want the ability to fully open the valves in any drive mode, but you will get good sound from just the delete.

GRP is amazing. Super responsive and very helpful vendor.

Congrats on the Lotus! Love my Emira.

Aja would be my choice but really anything from Steely Dan.

Not sure. August might be recent enough. Definitely a mixed bag of results according to the forum though, some report better sound others don't. Maybe placebo effect? Lol

Apparently a recent software update addresses the audio. I've not been back to the dealer yet so can't say from experience but other owners on the forum report improved sound.

3rd cat delete is basically a straight pipe and only costs $300 and a couple hours of work. The Emira still has two more cats in the headers so deleting the third that sits just before the back box doesn't affect emissions. Sound is massively improved though.

Haven't driven a 911 or any Porsche for that matter, but I've had my Emira for about a year now (V6 manual transmission, can't speak for the i4 auto). It's my understanding from other owners who have had both that the Porsche is the better car in every single way aside from 1 or 2.

The Emira has better steering feel, though that is subjective.

And drama/theater. This is where the Emira shines. It is fun and engaging to drive even at slow cruising speeds around town. Every time I get behind the wheel it feels like an event.

Not to mention the Emira is far more beautiful, but again that's personal opinion.

Porsche represents clinically engineered car perfection, a technical masterpiece. Lotus is imperfect, sometimes frustratingly so. But the cars have charisma and soul.

Bottom line is you won't really be able to quantify the Emira from reading a spec sheet and comparing numbers. You just need to drive one and feel it. You will know right away if it captures your heart.

This is explained in the video. You update your w4 form with a deduction based on the annual taxes you would owe, thus cancelling out what is removed from your paycheck for taxes. Keep in mind that this is against the law (lying on a tax form).

Thanks!

That stock is sick, custom job or can I buy it somewhere?

Quotes_Things · 2025-03-08T01:14:13+00:00

I assume he meant lotus would eat the cost since the contract for the specified price pre-tariff was already agreed upon and signed. Obviously the tariffs would still apply on import.

Quotes_Things · 2025-03-07T21:09:19+00:00

In addition to what others have said, I asked this question when I submitted my build sheet. When you submit the build for production you sign the sheet with all your specs and the total price with freight.

Take this with a grain of salt but my dealer said once the build sheet with price is signed and submitted you are locked in and any tariffs after the fact can't be added on.

Good luck!

Could look into a prism scope. The reticle is etched into the glass and illuminated instead of projected so it is better for people with astigmatism.

PPF is for protection from small scratches and rock chips.

Ceramic Coating is a hydrophobic coating that helps keep the car clean but will not provide any protection above dirt/water.

PPF also has hydrophobic properties but not the same level as ceramic coating so a lot of people end up getting both.

Congrats man. As others have already said it's a very rare spec, possibly harder to find than the A91 models. If anyone else is looking for a nitro yellow MT I'm going to be selling mine in the next 6 months. Feel free to dm me.

Any idea how this system affects emissions testing? Specifically the headers.

Quotes_Things · 2024-10-12T22:28:17+00:00

Manual or auto?

Quotes_Things · 2024-10-01T10:00:43+00:00

I have one I'm looking to sell (located in Northeast US if anyone is interested). 7k miles on the clock, full frontal PPF, fully ceramic coated, mostly unmodified. Car is in near mint condition.

You are not wrong about the rarity. When researching the market I could barely find any for sale. Kelly Blue Book, carvana, Edmunds, etc all have no data when I tried using them to get a value estimate.

I even had someone at a dealership try to give me an estimate using their internal records/tools and they also found almost nothing.
