Would be nice to meet the Kansai area folks, but since it’s a quarter-end, I may not be able to go.

Found this posted on Facebook. Looks like it's open to all Lotus owners - no details published yet, maybe we'll hear more about it later this month at the Fuji Speedway event. link to Facebook event page ==> For those wondering, Arashiyama-Takao Parkway is in Kyoto.

If they're replacing the front loom, you might want to ask if they could route an additional grounding cable to connect all the grounding points of the loom with the negative terminal of the battery. No guarantee that it will prevent future electrical issues, but if the car is in pieces now...

Went out to meet @shin73 and receive our tow hooks, and eat tofu (tofu kuu). Hope to see you all soon (how about Izu ?) 「トウ・フックで豆腐食う」の会にご参加の皆様お疲れ様でした！次は伊豆あたりでソフトクリームを食べましょう！

Some early discussion about the Aisin BG6 gearbox here ==> https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/who-manufactures-emiras-manual-transmission.2542/

or, you could aim for an all-cardboard interior...

"Rash Bronze", "Bubble Orange", and "Blister Green" ...

SIlver looks nice.

Entry has closed, and I have confirmed with the organizer that 4 Emiras are in the list. Even if you missed the window, please consider showing up for the parade run and mingling - should be fun ! 気付いたら満員となっていましたが、合計4台の Emira がエントリーしているとのことです。エントリーできなかった/しなかった方も FSW...

Shrink tube, if you dislike adhesives.

「総務省は、電波監理審議会からの答申及び意見募集の結果を踏まえ、速やかに関係規定の整備を行う予定です」ということで、一歩前進です。 details here ==> https://www.soumu.go.jp/menu_news/s-news/01kiban14_02000679.html [改正の概要] It's happening, folks ! Not this year, probably not next year, but "SOON"... Try to bring this up with your dealers whenever you discuss...

@tarta will be picking up his Dark Verdant with Tan interior and Diamond Cut wheels with Yellow calipers Emira around 13:00. Two other Emiras with the same exterior and interior colors, but different wheels are needed to perform an objective analysis of the wheel colors. 面白いから3台を並べてみませんか？ I...

Yes, but I picked mine up at the Ishikawadai showroom, as it is closer to where I live. I will try to show up at Harajuku around 13:00 and film you driving off with your brand new Emira !

If I recall correcly, "a sportscar like no other" was the sales pitch for the Mazda RX-8 back in 2003.

Can we crash your party? Which dealer?

All Lotus cars will be allowed to participate in one lap at the beginning with no extra charge, given the driver (and passenger) attend the briefing at 12:00. No helmet or gloves required for this parade lap, but expect pictures to be taken and used for PR purposes. ロータス車で来場すれば 13:00 からの慣熟走行...

Chopsticks were too soft for the task. The track was fun! No pedestrians, no bicycles, no trailers, just wide open pavement for 4km. Was able to clock 220km/h on the home straight even with my slow shifting. I had a professional driver drive for 2 laps in my Emira, pointing at the markers...

Track runs are not mandatory - you can just show up for the photo-ops and mingle with other Lotus owners. オフ会だけの参加も大歓迎！(富士スピードウェイの入場料 1,200円はどうしてもかかりますが)

The Japanese Facebook group ロータスオーナー会 will be hosting a track day at Fuji Speedway on Feb. 16 (sun). I spoke with the admin (a gentleman from the Nagoya area) yesterday and confirmed that the event is open to anyone with a Lotus - you do not need to be a member of the Facebook group to...

Perhaps "paint denting" ?

For some strange reason, my Emira participated in a Porsche owners event at Fuji Speedway. This being my very first track event in a car, I quickly realized that to install the tow hook, you need to remove the rubber cap with long nosed pliers. All I had were chopsticks...

Reached the one-tenths milestone.

Did you draw an Emira logo ?

After spending an hour in the parking queue and then finding out that the parking space has been closed, I headed home to look at all the pictures @Tokion has posted in his JAPAN - TOKYO AUTO SALON 2025 thread. It has been a long day...

Let's wait for an answer from the OP, but my speculation is that it would look like you went out and bought an Android smartphone: the car will still connect to your iPhone, allowing you to take calls and other standard Bluetooth functions, but you will have to toggle between two devices to use...

I hope @Sentinel can confirm, but I this is my understanding: Think of the project as a combination of an Android app and the proprietary hardware it runs on (instead of your smartphone). The hardware will allow extra goodies not available on your smartphone, such as data interface from the...

Thank you! So the trunk remains functional.

Really makes a difference to the car! How is it mounted? Please post pics of the mounting points when you have the time. Thanks! [edit] @idleuser beat me to it ;)

You will need to unscrew the short shifter a few turns (trial and error) to fix the rear-bias caused by pulling on the shift cable too much. As for the right-bias, can't adjust it here because the short shifter adds thickness to the overall assembly, pushing it down. You will need to adjust the...

I plan to be there around noon depending on traffic, and stay until 14:00 maybe 15:00. If one or more of them ask me out, I may leave earlier.
