    JUBU Group Buy 15% discount

    I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on this upgrade but my head says to wait for warranty period to be over. Perhaps prices will soften as competitors crack the factory ECU to unlock similar performance. Maybe too much for a rise in rev limit (but it really needs it) and a "bit" more power...

    Anyone planning on driving their Emira through winter?

    2nd winter for me. Car is there for the using. I hate salted roads but it’s insignificant in the grand scheme of life. Some of the best drives are crisp winter days.

    Osmium Silver Lotus Emira photo thread

    It’s a no from me. Unnecessary.

    Didn't see another Lotus on the road, let alone an Emira on the whole trip! Just various models hiding in the corridors of Motorworld Munich.

    It’s definitely a concern. I was surprised by how much crap was inside the intake box after only a few thousand miles, including plenty of leaves.

    The only issue on the whole trip was a failure to fire up (no errors, but no display either!). Fixed with a quick battery disconnect. Pretty impressive luggage capacity. Average mpg of 29 isn’t too bad considering 156mph on the autobahn and driving through central London. Comfort on the long...

    Wet walk to The Eagle’s Nest then on to F.A.T Mankei on one of the most amazing alpine roads. It’s a toll to enter the park and gates close at 8:15pm. Unfortunately we arrived at 8:19 and had to follow a local in the out lane! Paid in the morning with much apologies!

    On to Motorworld in Munich. Highly recommend the car studio rooms in the Almeron hotel. There are only 2, so book ahead. Some amazing cars inside the building in storage and for sale. Big McLaren service centre working on a Speedtail and Elva!!

    Honestly, I wasn’t pushing at all. Around an 11 minute lap but it felt great. Absorbing all the bumps and curbs with ease. Lovely and fluid through all the multiple compressions and elevation changes. I was totally surprised by this, as the videos flatten everything. Power was adequate but I’m...

    Lightweight battery

    Having heard stories of 911 restorations going up in smoke from “lightweight batteries” I’d avoid such a swap for such marginal gains.

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    I noticed the inside of the windows fogging up today. A quick investigation found the driver’s footwell very soggy under the mat. Any suggestions as to where the water is coming in from?

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Spotted a shiny Seneca blue (no BP) example heading north on the A26 at Reims last Tuesday (5th). Looked exotic from a distance. Low and wide. Anyone from here?

    I was told at the factory it’s important to run the gearbox in, as well as the engine. Up and down the box, no box changes, even if running at 4K in 3rd seems wrong, better than sticking at 2k in 6th on the motorway. (Mine makes no strange noises)

    Where has the cover gone?!

    It’s a good idea. Mine was under the engine and retrieved successfully - not melted or chewed up thankfully

    Oil temperature and pressure reading?

    I can’t find this anywhere in the display. Surely Lotus wouldn’t miss this off a driver’s car, would they?

    So pretty
