    Emira Service Manual cannot Download?

    Just logged into the aftersales portal (US) and everything is still there for me but correct, it doesn't allow you to download and print the entire manual. You could do it page by page though or I'm sure some computer savvy person could find a way to have a program do it.

    New Video of Lotus Emira On Track at Barber Motorsports Park

    Great video and love Barber! Just wish there were a few pictures of the museum there too :-)

    Emira in Nurburgring (7:39)

    The straights are where you make up time on track though, so if you care about lap times then those straights matter. Even if mid corner speed is relatively slower in a 911, if it gets the power down better coming out of a turn and onto the straight it should drop lap time more than just having...

    Slack/Loose Shifter

    I asked about this when at the dealer for my first yearly service. They said it was all within spec. It is more than I expected (especially fore-aft) in a new sports car. The shifter in my 220,000 mile BMW and 120,000 mile Nissan is tighter, though neither are cable linkage.

    WTB | Stock Wheels (V6)

    I've been looking for silver ones for a while too, keep your eyes open and a set will eventually come along. Most I've seen seem to be advertised in Western states.

    Centre Console display

    I normally show Tire Pressure in the main screen in front of me. I find the "performance" stuff pretty useless from Lotus. I don't care about my horsepower or torque. Instead I use Apple Car play to display PIDs/OBDII information. (a lot of data can be shown, more than the below pic). Or, more...

    3rd cat delete

    It shouldn't affect what the car's computer sees as the 3rd cat is after all the oxygen sensors, so the car will not register any difference in emissions. (Though, it will in reality probably pollute a bit more). It is difficult to see anything has been done with visual inspection since the...

    How to disconnect the battery ?

    I've just unhooked the negative terminal in the past, one nut and it slips off like any old car.

    Wide angle driver's side mirror (US market)

    I do this on my E36 M3, its super helpful to run a UK mirror on the driver's side. However, as of this year prices for the mirrors have gone from ~$30 shipped to ~$130 shipped, which sucks since I broke mine in the last race :-D

    Can I safely patch tire with nail near shoulder?

    From your photo I'd feel comfortable patching it for road use. I personally would not run a patched tire on track (I also run my track tires down to the cords though)

    Black Forest Industries Shift Knob

    The radially symmetrical base screws on, but the leather portion with the seam can be clocked before tightening down a screw that is hidden once the "coin" is placed on top.

    Black Forest Industries Shift Knob

    Unsure, when they reached out to me to use my car to test fit one (for the pictures) they offered heavy or light, though they might have just stuck with one for production.
