Thanks. I’m inclined to agree. If it goes dead, I’ll replace it with a lithium one - and save about 30 lbs!

Given the severe storms predicted over the next few weeks, I’m not parking the car in my home garage while out of town and unattended…It will be in a storage unit with no electricity available. Hence, the trickle charger is not an option.

I’m only asking because there have been numerous posts on this forum that related to dead batteries occurring after only a few weeks of nonuse…was curious if it was still an issue…

I’ll be away from my Emira for 3 weeks…Should I disconnect the battery? (Trickle charger is not an option). Thoughts?

Except that the hot air appears to be going straight into the air intakes for the engine compartment…I’d prefer that ambient air do that job - better for performance and longevity.

It is very noticeable at 25-40 mph…Drive with your hand just outside the window and you will find cool air above the midpoint of the window opening and hot air at the bottom of the window opening. Huge temperature difference.

I regret trading in my 2005 Elise…I should’ve traded in something else.

I posted an identical thread a few days ago… https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/anyone-else-notice-bad-hot-air-flow.4838/

Just shy of 3000 miles since 3/4/24 delivery. One issue that kept it out of service for 3 weeks - 2 weeks to be diagnosed, 1 week waiting for the part (mass airflow sensor). Otherwise flawless for 3 track days and two roadtrips.

I’ve been meaning to ask: Has anyone else has noticed how hot the cabin gets with the windows completely open? The hot air coming off of the front radiator(s) flows partially into the cabin with the windows down. It’s crazy. Turns an 80°F (26°C) drive into a 90°F (32°C) drive and forces me to...

I recall being able to buy the extended warranty right before the factory warranty period ends…You should consider confirming…If correct, I’d wait to buy it.

No vibration with the A/C on, but at idle it feels like the car should idle at a little higher in the rev range.

Ass-out a lot, and when that didn’t happen the front would occasionally lose grip…but it was manageable.

I had a rain-soaked track day…

Ummm…I’ll take your word for it…

Thanks for the feedback - especially regarding the claims process. I’m on track about twice a month from April through October, but don’t plan to use the Emira that often - so I’m not planning to do an annual policy.

Anyone have experience with any of the below insurers for track day insurance? I’ve been tracking cars for years (including my Emira this season) and have never bought track day insurance, but I’m joining an event that I have never participated in before and don’t know any of the drivers… •...

I used car door edge trim…no adhesive. Tight fit and hasn’t budged since I put it on a few weeks ago.

My third Elise, but the best one… The only thing the Elise does better is steering.

I spend (and have spent) a lot of time on track…4-wheel steering and torque vectoring make a tremendous difference. You can have a reputable race or exotic shop dial the car in a bit (i.e., more camber). Also, tires make a difference. What do you have on the 911? If you have Goodyears on the...

I haven’t posted a clean pic of my car in a while…

Do you have an incoming Emira to put it on?

Cost? It would be a good baseline for comparison…

Done! Easy fix with black car door edge trim…

Agreed! I just checked, and I see the start of the same issue…I’m going to get black car door edge trim.

I’ll start:

No…it’s composite, like the rest of the body panels.

Can’t see them…but no, my car does not have that issue.

I’ve had 2 days of track use since getting the car on March 4, 2024…No issues.

I agree with the bottom line. I’ve had a GT4 and other Porsches…they never made feel nervous about what new code was going to pop up or waiting for the CEL to come on. My Porsche experiences were always gremlin- and trouble-free. That said, the Porsches did have a major downside: very tall...
