    US warranty

    Does anyone have updated information from Lotus on the extended Factory warranty? I spoke with a salesperson at my dealer yesterday and they are going to provide a 5-year 60,000 mile and 7-year 70,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty quote. Has anyone purchased one of these in the US?

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I washed the Emira today and spent a good deal of time inspecting the car while drying it. Everything looks pretty good except a few minor PPF touch ups that will be taken care of shortly by my installer. That being said, the trunk lid on my car has been uneven since day one. I didn’t trouble...

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    Yep. For full transparency, I jacked one wheel onto a shorter block first, then the other wheel onto one of these jacks, then went back to the first wheel to replace the shorter block with the second jack. This method felt the easiest and safest. I was concerned that lifting the car fully all at...

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    I included one photo of the Emira on the jacks… you can barely see it under the wheel. These worked very well and I’d highly recommend making some if you have scrap lumber lying around.

    Seats?

    Please keep me in the loop on this. I would be willing to drive to KOP to have this done if you’re happy with the results. My wife is always squirming in her seat and I can tell she finds them very uncomfortable.

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    I had the same experience. My 18 year old had the opportunity to flex his muscles (literally) and separate the cartridge plug and the housing. I couldn’t break it loose. I was about to put it on a vice, but the boy was able to have a moment to brag about all his time spent at the gym (and I now...

    Manual shift not going into 1st, 2nd, reverse

    So sorry to see this. Thank you for sharing your experience with the dealer network. I have the same concerns with the newer dealers. Do they have enough techs? Do the techs have enough experience? Can they complete repairs/service in a timely manner?

    "Take me home, country roads" run. ( Virginia/West Virginia) (Overnighter @ Canaan Resort)

    I cannot attend if June 7-9. Kiddo graduates from high school that weekend. So… I’d prefer the later date.

    Hill Hold?

    I had to search for this thread, but I’m glad I found it. I am experiencing the exact same thing. 2 seconds feels like an eternity when everyone is staring at your “Ferrari“ at the red light. My wife was driving behind me last night and asked me, “what happened at the traffic light?” I can’t...

    "Take me home, country roads" run. ( Virginia/West Virginia) (Overnighter @ Canaan Resort)

    Please keep me posted on the dates. 3 hours to get to start of trip. 3.5 hours home from Canaan Resort… so this could work.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I’m on Front Street a lot returning from North Harrisburg. Beautiful drive long the Susquehanna… although prone to speed traps!

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I slapped the film on very temporarily. I had no intention of keeping it on for long. I smoothed it over with my hand and it tacked well. Bubbles everwhere... it was comical! That being said, it comes with an applicator squeege/burnisher if you want to take your time and make it look nice.
