I watched the video when they called you - not sure you believed them at first 😜

I'm not familiar with at competition in the UK. What's the format? That's one hell of a win! Congrats.

Mine randomly started after a year. It was also fixed during my annual service by moving the number plate further away from the sensors. Apparently it's a common issue. Not had a single false trigger since.

Still dreaming of the full ECU unlock one day....

Back in my twenties, the TVR Griffith was always the car I desired but could never afford. Thirty years on and I still can’t quite believe I own the Emira.

Really small numbers. On one hand it's such a shame that so many factors conspired against the launch (not all self inflicted). On the other, its quite nice to own such an exclusive model. They are still a rarity on the road. With the end of the first edition, second hand stock and price rises...

I had no idea the materials were so innovative. Lotus should have made more of this in the Emira promo.

Fantastic write up! I have exactly the same spec as you and would love to do exactly the same trip you did. We took my E90 M3 down to Cannes and Monaco 10 years ago and that got quite a bit of attention but I can imagine the Emira is on another level. I literally never used the satnav. You...

This is a surprise. I knew about all the hate for the C63 hybrid unit but I thought the base M139 was considered to be a marvel of engineering? I wonder what this will mean in the long term for parts availability on I4 units...

That's a really slick install and removable is even better. I'm quite short so there's a fair bit of space behind the seat and the lower part of the bench. I wonder if the sub could be mounted down there? That is pretty much dead space for me currently. As I understand it, placement of subs...

Where did you install this, did you post about it in the sub thread? To my ears the stereo sounds quite bright so I would be interested in a sub before tweeters but I don't want to lose the rear space behind the seats.

I know - I've never seen a speaker package that costs as much as the car! Maybe worth a try nevertheless if their hourly rate isn't too high.

You could try Cambridge Car Audio. They've got a huge range of off-the-shelf upgrade packages but, given their familiarity, they might also consider a smaller install.... https://www.cambridgecar.audio/lotus-emira-audio-upgrade-packages

Also, I wonder if the whole carbon craze has peaked. It's been all about carbon add-ons for the past 10 years but I actually prefer the Emira's gloss black. Plus, the weight savings were always negligible for a few strips here and there.
