    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    My car is also at the dealer currently to have this addressed 🤞. The noise on my car got louder right after I hit about 1k miles and it really started to drive me nuts

    Way too much hot air with the windows down

    Well…. On the other side of this, when it is cold out I bet that heat will feel great when the windows are down. It’s just a characteristic of the car and design…not a big deal

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    It’s not really 8mm thick. They call it “8mils” but it’s obviously not nearly 1cm thick. It’s probably less than 0.5mm. Not sure what unit of measurement they are actually using

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    So what I found to decrease the annoying sound is an adjustment while driving. The sound is the worse when on the highway in 5th and 6th gears while accelerating. So now, as I shift into 5th or 6th gear, i also pull the shift knob to the left as soon as it enters the gate. It stays there on its...

    Looking for Floor Mats for the Emira

    Thank you for the update! I actually happened to only place an order for the front mats, so good to hear those are working well for you. Once all the experimentation is done on the trunk mat I’ll likely get that too. I completely agree with you. If you are going through all that work they should...

    Lotus Emira Key Fob cases - initial run

    I like the look of alcantara better but got the leather for those exact reasons. Have to touch the fob every time you lock/unlock so may wear the alcantara over time

    V6 Manual - are these sounds normal?

    Hmm... I just watched a video that says adjustments to the cross-gate cable address lateral side to side movement of the shifter. The fact that you can tell the vibrations are coming from the cross gate and LATERAL pressure on the gear shifter is what makes the noise go away, tells me likely the...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Literally just got off to the blue ridge parkway yesterday! Great day of drives to break it in

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    Thanks for the info! Just wasn't sure how much droop was present of the suspension once the car is up and if that jack would be able to lift high enough to get a 10" wheel crib under the wheel in the rear. Sounds like I should be okay. I'm hoping theres enough room to roll underneath with a...

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    So I've read all this discussion about different oils to use. While i'm sure there are many that will work great, I tend to just use whatever is OEM. What exactly is the OEM oil for this car and where can it be purchase online? My plan for getting the car lifted and level for the 1000 mile oil...

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    ive confirmed that my noise goes away when pushing on the gear stick further into the gate in 5th and 6th gear. I dont get the noise in any other gear. The noise on mine is significantly less than the video and other mentions, but it is noticeable. Has anyone had this addressed?

    Gearbox/drivetrain noise in 5th and 6th gear

    ive confirmed that i have the same thing although it is minor. 5th and 6th gear only. If i put a little pressure on the gear stick pushing it further into the gate like you said, the noise goes away. Has anyone had this addressed?

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    Mines not nearly as bad as this, mine actually might be a different sound all together. Not sure if it’s just a “characteristic” or if it is fixable.

    Dashcam for the Emira

    So after probably too much research, I did end up getting the VIOFO A119 mini v2. It was consistently recommended on many dashcam forums and reviews i watched from dashcamtalk. https://dashcamtalk.com/ Installed the Mini V2 and seems to be a great discrete dash cam. The other dash cams I was...

    Welp guys. Took delivery and just got it back from full xpel ppf. I’m relieved that I probably will no longer be checking this thread 3 times a day like I have for the last 2 years. The car is beautiful and was worth the wait.

    Dashcam for the Emira

    We can put that in the “strategic parking” category? 😂 If you were towed voluntarily or from an accident or breakdown, they usually have the keys in the ignition/car so a dash cam would be recording as normal (not parking recording)

    Dashcam for the Emira

    I find that recording while parked isn't particularly useful...hear me out. I have a tesla model 3. It has "sentry mode" which allows recording out of all 4 exterior cameras. You would think i would use it all the time...but i don't. I found that many people are able to view incidents that...

    Dashcam for the Emira

    I don't see why it couldn't. I just purchased the A119 Mini V2 and just plugged it into an portable powerbank for traveling and it records just fine. I haven't installed the camera in the emira yet. *EDIT* Just did a quick search. there was a thread in dashcam talk where a guy ran a A119 mini...

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    Planning for my first oil change. I’d like to get the car elevated enough to get underneath while lying down on a 4.5” creeper since I figured I’d be down there a while taking out the 4000 bolts holding the panels in place. I also want the car level so all the oil comes out. My thoughts were to...

    Dashcam for the Emira

    Am hoping to get a dash cam recommendation based on two features im looking for. I need it to auto-power on when the car turns on and off when the car turns off. Don't want to have to manually press a button to turn on. I need it to not have a battery in it. In my experience, batteries in that...
