    Disconnect Battery for Storage?

    Mine sat for a month and started up just fine. When coming back make sure you actually drive the car and don't just start it to see if it'll go, also don't charge the battery by idling. If you want to go the safe way, disconnect and trickle charge where it's safe to do so (please don't do it...

    Intake difference between FE and 2025 V6

    I was wondering about this on the exhaust side. Somehow leaves manage to get stuck behind the rear bumper mesh near the exhaust. I guess it gets pretty hot in there after a while. Not fun to clean if you have to remove the under-tray to reach them.

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    It is however dynamic on cold start (reduced redline), and limb mode so there is a chance I'd say.

    Door Handle Failure

    My drivers side went after 36.000km. I've warranty till Dec., but won't be driving after October, so the passenger side gonna be paid by me. Bonkers there is no active recall for a known factory defect, but I guess money is tight

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    I guess a new ECU would have to be initialized to the car by the dealer first, or can you handle that too?

    New Source for Tactile Steering Wheel Buttons - ships to U.S.

    These don't look new and I wouldn't expect any new ones from that source. They seem to be sourced from decommissioned Lynk&Co cars

    Highest mileage Emira’s?

    Check again with iOS 26, to be released on the 15th. At least for me the combination of latest car updates + iOS 26 Beta solved the connection problems

    OEM Lotus Emira Red Brake Caliper Set – Excellent Condition, Low Mileage

    While I agree on the overall paint job, my calipers (yellow) are actually fine after 5 track days and 36.000km. Got a 11/2022 build. What color were yours?

    Rotating or swapping Cup 2s left to right all arond

    As far as I know they are asymmetrical not directional. So you can switch them, but you have to flip the tyre on the rim instead of just swapping the wheels. Meaning inside stays inside, outside stays outside. I guess you could do this if you run a lot on a track in the same direction...

    Urgent Help Needed: 2024 Lotus Emira A/C Issues (Air Distribution & No Cooling) - Grey Import

    Both problems are originating from the same problem source: The HVAC box in the front of the car. Water ingress will destroy at least the resistor in there and cause all of your problems. There is a new water shield you probably don't have fitted and a new improved HVAC box. I don't think you...

    Intermittent delay when pressing start button to car actually starting

    I’m pretty sure there’s nothing wrong. As far as I remember, the start failures were caused by communication problems between control units, possibly related to communication order. From my software dev perspective, the startup delay could simply be extra time to ensure everything is ready...

    The Alpin PA4s are definitely a solid choice. I ran them and they did great. Available in stock sizes too.
