Naah they tend to escape overnight

I wonder if the gearbox mounting significantly improves shifting quality, the current 1-2 shift at speed is really foxtrot umbrella....

Hi SaudiStig Which short shifter did you get?

oh no 😱

that's probably the adapter Lotus used to attach the transmission to the engine... its not just the Emira, the earlier Lotuses were like this as well. Annoying, but it's not broken, they all do it

when in Tour, cabin is pretty quiet and you can have a conversation. Once the valves are open, the volume in the cabin definitely goes up and listening to the infortainment/ having a conversation will not be ideal

Whatever the underlying mechanical reason, it is definitely ECU related. There was a group which purchased JUBU ECUs a while ago, and while that caused its own problems, one thing that stopped was stalling when cold. It's probably related to some emissions tuning which aftermarket ECUs won't...

I took the below photo, the pins fit into the gray circles. Just use hand pressure at those points.

looks like its not just in the US - dealer here just told me he can only order i4's going forward. Even the configurator only shows the i4 in the video splash screen....

Keep us up to date, once this becomes a seamless replacement of the stock seats this will be a must have upgrade!

Yes, Yes, each of the ECUs is tied to a specific VIN. Maybe they can recode it to suit a different VIN when you plan to sell it?

Some people have had issues with cars not starting smoothly after not being driven for a while. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/cold-start-stalling.2715/post-119779 The latest Lotus software update fixed this for some people.

I'm in whichever timeline gets to 10, not in a rush

Yes, and from what I understand it takes around 15 minutes to swap the ECUs.
