Hi EyeFour Eemeerah! Your “analogy” between high quality waxes that gives a deep, wet lustre with playing vinyl albums on a high quality turntable and cartridge was noted and appreciated. I also appreciated your mentioning that «analog is palpable and you become part of the music. Warm and with...

Nobody should loose their sleep by having nightmares about struggling to get their i4 up to the hypothetical Chinese 400hp level. May happen, or it may not. kitkat’s comments above are 100% correct. I have the experience doing a similar ECU tuning of my BMW 335i (E93) N54 twin-turbo engine from...

Curious that it throws a 911 shadow (smile) So happy for you (regarding your «Nimbus»)

Very similar dates as mine regarding everything. The latest information from my (Japan) distributor is that the car will be manufactured in November 2023, and delivered to me in late February or March 2024. This is very close to the level of delays I am able to take, so I am “praying” there...

You should prepare a plaque saying MORNING LUCY and stick it somewhere on your Emira❣️⭕️😳 🤣

Fantastic. I am in Kodaira, West-Tokyo. Hope to meet you and see your great Emira when convenient.

Unfortunately we will only know after the investigation is concluded, and someone conveys the result. These days cars are full of electrical systems, and some of them remain active even after ignitions are turned off. Anything can short-circuit depending on wiring flaws or other electric...

The 24th is here. Happy Emira Delivery Day⁉️😅👀🇯🇵 It would be cool to see your wonderful car by some of us other Japan «Emira in waiting» members. Are you in Tokyo or elsewhere?

That’s my taste and preference. I think upper BP will destroy the purity and beauty of DV and Osmium. (I am aware others will choose differently - but my choice is mine;-) I do not want a dark, black interior, and neither do I want a red interior, so that leaves me with tan and white/gray. My...

Could be the new third location: Wuthel⁉️

In my next life (second Emira i4 with all current issues sorted - probably an “S” or an “R”) I will choose Osmium (silver) that in photos makes the car look stunning and very pure. (Should definitely NOT have any upper “black pack”) May actually be a nice pair if I keep them both: One DV (no...

Just to make sure; I am simply saying that it may become technically possible (later on) to for example tune up toward 500hp. However I am not recommending it, nor am I suggesting it. It would be nice to have the “standard” 420 hp (approximately) that the Mercedes AMG 45S has got. My other car...

Thanks “CornersOnRails” for adding a decisive reason (and explanation) why we definitely are getting the four-cylinder-version of the Emira (and when the time is right, we tune it to about 500 hp). Long live the timeless beauty of the Esprit. Would be cool if someone rebuilt one properly with...

A follow-up to the car fire in Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan where over 100 cars burnt down on August 20, 2023. The fire department investigations have pinpointed that the fire started from underneath the engine of a diesel car. There is a witness, and also a recording from a nearby car’s drive...

Yes, I actually had a major fire in my own previous (ICE) car while on a public road in Tokyo. There was a full investigation as to the cause. It was the very heavy wiring (large gauge) going to the electric steering motor that had come off and ignited. However, todays incident is not yet...

Not related to Lotus Emira specifically, but a fire in a pachinko parlor’s parking lot burnt down more than 100 cars today August 20, 2023. The reason for this fire 🔥 is under investigation. News report: <<A vehicle fire accompanied by an explosion at the multi-story parking lot of the...

Will be introduced in the second Barbie Movie installment ❣️🎈❤️

And no romantic “rowing your own gears”, but a DCT, which is probably a helluvalot faster on the track (FORD probably did not buy the laggy AMG one - ha ha ha), but according to so many: BOORING‼️ …. And simply not acceptable for s street/road car⁉️ Matt Farah too has said that he personally...
