My two cents having purchase a '24 FE new - only the second new car I've ever purchased. Just can't stand wasting so much on depreciation, but I'd had an Elise for 10 years and the Emira looked amazing. How is your age, physical ability to drive one of these amazing cars? I still have my...

Personally, I haven't noticed any more bugs on my HY Emira than any other color car I've owned...except perhaps they're more noticeable against the yellow background. I was concerned about this too prior to purchasing, but super happy with HY!

Nicely done.

Yup, I actually installed something like this at the dealership while picking up my Emira...I had a long trip home and didn't want to start off by damaging the seat permanently. I've had the car 18mos now and this has worked like a charm. Mentioned in this documentary...

Hey All, we have a group based in NC that has been growing and having some great events the past couple years. For some of our events we often get folks joining us from adjacent states like Virginia, DC, Tennessee, etc. So if you'd like to learn more about our group and what we do, check out...

Hey All, I'm in Raleigh and maintain some lists of Lotus owners in NC and surrounding states. We get together for various events, drives, etc., so please reach out if you're not already on my lists. This video about our group just went live today, so I hope you'll check it out. Pete

If you're in the Mid-Atlantic states area, we should connect. If you're not, you might still find this video about our local car club interesting or entertaining :)

Wow, it's been a while since I shared anything. This video covers my exhaust mods and a recent meet of Lotus enthusiasts!

Update: Got a lot of recommendations for Discount Tire, so had it patched there this morning - for FREE! They were able to do a proper patch job which included a plug and a patch on the inside of the tire. Turns out this wasn't a small nail (brad) but was a good-sized screw shaft where the...

When I test it, it appears to be leaking ever so slightly. This may be because when I took it to a shop to have them look at it, they pried the nail out slightly.

If you delete the boot, what happens if you drop something in there? Something you need, debris/sand?

I experience that audio system Boom on power up (opening door) periodically too. Don't really like it - seems like something that should have been caught and rectified before cars were being delivered to customers. :) But it doesn't really bother me either. Good to know it's at least a...

For anyone contemplating one or both of these upgrades, we made these upgrades on my Emira last weekend and I LOVE the new sound. I've added our Lessons Learned to the body of knowledge in this video.

I installed the cat delete and V1 Milltek valve controller last weekend. I LOVE the new sound! As far as the valve controller, I either use it to keep the Valve open all the time (button #1) or revert to OEM control (button #3). I can't imagine that I'd ever want to force it closed all the...

There have been times when I've wished for a softer ride than my Sport suspension offers...times like now when I have a herniated disc causing a lot of pain in my neck especially when going over a harsh bump. But I'm not sure the Touring suspension would help much with this. Sucks getting old!
