Oh it looks so good! Thanks! Added to my to do list 😂

New wheels look amazing congrats! Do you happen to have a picture of the fitment with the 5mm spacers on the OEM wheels ?

Looks amazing! Where are you located ? I’d definitely be interested in the future, waiting for more products to roll out to make a bigger purchase of a few carbon exterior bits to add to my car before I export it to my home country

Just a quick update regarding this issue, my brother was with my car for a few weeks and this problem happened 3/4 more times, I found the source to the problem (I think), to sort it out all he needed to do (like I did) is to open the trunk (manually) then just touch the negative terminal of the...

Having owned one, gen 2 R8 doesn’t even come close to the emira in terms of driver involvement, feel and looks.

I do care, but it’s not enough of an issue to me to make me want to not enjoy the car when I’m with it (as it’s a vacation home). When I’ll need to do the service I’ll let them try and figure out and fix everything (2 months). Really appreciate your dedication and patience!

I don’t quite speak Italian so its an issue, most Italians unfortunately don’t speak English (at the dealer and service only the receptionist and a sales person don’t for example, no English speaking mechanics.. at least that I’m aware of) Update (edit): after a drive have home (2h) + a stop for...

Yeah an engine light just popped up out of no where while driving , I’m 200 km from home which is an issue and I don’t have an OBD on me, the car drives normally by any means idk what to do.. I think I’ll just drive home and ask them to pick the car up tomorrow from my home as I leave tomorrow...

I think I might know the cause to the issue with the battery but I don’t really know if that was it and it’s more of a speculation. A few hours before it occurred I washed the car at a self wash station and left the wet drying towels in the boot, maybe the condensation that was created by the...

Really enjoying the cars in Lake Como & Lugano and the drive up here! The Emira is just so rewardful to drive and the funny thing is it’s the luggage hauler (good practicality imo).

I’ll try look inside the engine bay, I remember an owner had a DIY fix the road assistance did for him so I’ll try and look in his post, thanks! So far didn’t happen again

Well I got a new issue which I don’t think I’ve seen before that happen once 30 minutes ago, I turned off the car at a petrol station and when I tried turning it on nothing happened, tried locking/unlocking but no response, tried the hazard lights but again no response, so I opened the trunk...

That one looks really well made, How does it support itself ? With beams or with air pressure ? I just wonder if it will hold for long periods of time (1-2 months tops)

Will surely look into it thanks! Looks good

Well I ran into a problem, for the past year and a half or so I tried to get an allocation for a GT3RS and it might (🤞🏽) finally happen but on a short notice! (2-3 weeks), either way if it does go through I need a place to store my Emira as currently I only have space for 2 cars in my garage...

Officially joined the cold start stalling group. Happened 3 times so far in the past week, it seems to happen only if my car hasn’t been started for more than 1 night (2 nights or more), which is REALY odd to me because it never happened before. Second start doesn’t seem to have a problem at all...

I don’t think it will be a good idea, the button is pretty close to where you’d rest your hand while changing gears, it’s just my speculation but imo it’s there to prevent miss clicking it while driving rather than a gimmick. Lotus yellow might actually be really interesting I agree! (will also...

100% agree, I also think one would be able to remove the swaybar completely which will let you remove the muffler + cat, I didn’t have enough room with the jackstands and so I didn’t want to remove it risking not being able to put everything back together so I gave up. How do you like the result...

I was definitely on the fence on using an angle grinder not gonna lie 🤣 Not necessarily, in tour it’s fully closed, as in almost all cars when it’s fully closed all the air passes through a smaller pipe to minimize sound but when you go past X rpm it fully opens so staying fully closed at full...

Sooo they DIY was kind of unsuccessful 😂 I don’t know who installed that cat on my car but it’s like they used a ton of loctite, we were 2 people trying to remove that thing! My car only has 1950kms so idk why it was so difficult to remove (not my first DIY by any means, done downpipes, headers...

I’m currently working on my car and a quick observation I’ve noticed, there are 3 small holes in the exhaust which lead to the chalk (?) on the diffuser heat shield, I’m certain there is a reason but it is odd to me.

Mine has arrive at the dealer January 2023 so probably manufacture at December/November and there isn’t any blisters, probably something happened in the manufacturing process because earlier cars and later cars than ones that manufactured at January doesn’t seem to have it. At least it seems...

Apart from costing twice as much for the same product, no there is no difference. I have my cat bypass and exhaust valve module ready for install, I want to DIY it but I don’t have a way to lift my car up yet (new home), I’ll probably do it in the upcoming week.

still looking for a 1:18 nimbus emira 🥲

My bad haha maybe @TomE or someone else can move it to a relevant thread, thanks

Came upon this video on YouTube, it’s in Japanese on a dyno jet, does anyone know the place or anything regarding the video to base the numbers ? Seems to be good numbers (387hp & 462

I do believe it’s going to be hard to incorporate a lip spoiler to the emira without ruining the design but that’s also the one I’d want haha

Thanks I’ll give it a look I a week or so once I’ll be with the car again

How is it possible to check the manufacturing date ?

Unfortunately it seems the dealer is not up to the task, personally I would advise to talk to CS so they could forward the warranty claim to a different dealer. Cars have been in serious crashes and have been restored to a state better than the original and they can’t align a door of a new car ...

No, it should return to you looking as new as possible, that was the reason of the repair in the first place. Tell the dealer to do the job properly

A bit off topic but in regard to people saying “lotus should wish to be telsa” Tesla just continues to amaze me 😂

The BMW M2 (OG, maybe also comp) has a combined water and oil temp so you don’t even know if one of them is too hot until it’s “too late”, so you can’t go to the track and it’s not a sports car ? Great thinking

My valve controller (and cat bypass) should arrive today but I’ll only be back in Italy in ~3 weeks, so when you install it do take pictures please! Haha and congrats on the car!

Personally I’m not the best with rev matching but the emira pedals are so well placed that it’s so much easier IMO (I’m size 41.5 (EU), 10.5 (US) in shoes). The pedals are quite small so it will likely be a different experience to a lot of people.

Any updates on those parts ? 👀 Also quite surprised at the lack of aftermarket parts from other companies (than again I do find it hard to make parts for such a well designed car without ruining it)

0-100 (km/h) I agree, 100-200 no so much as it’s much more representative of the power band, weight and aero of a car and to some a it might be important (personally I’m more than satisfied with the performance (as a daily/weekend car and I do plan to daily it once I export it to my home...
