I agree with everything you said here about the OEM feeling "truck like" and clunky, as evidently the shifter is the same taken from a Toyota truck? I don't think I've ever been able to "slam" into gears with the OEM shifter. One of the Emira owners on EveryDay Driver's YT channel's comments...

That makes total sense, thanks. It's just something I hadn't thought of when installing this short shifter kit. On my son's WRX we had a Subaru OEM short shifter installed after purchase, and it was the entire shifter assembly. I was surprised the GRP was such a tiny mod in comparison, but it...

Big thanks to all here on this very helpful thread! My son & I installed the @GRP short-throw the other day, and it would have been a bear without all these community tips! We installed it in the factory (longest) throw position, and the tips on marking the original position of the linkage and...

Watching Todd on that channel get his Magma red Emira and do their first road trip video solidified my decision to buy one. Non-starting problem he had and all. Those guys have a love for cars, ICE manuals in particular, and made me realize that era is coming to an end and it was "last call"...

Actually this is genius reverse-psychology protection against vandalism. ICE now wears masks and intentionally DOESN'T identify themselves!

My license plates finally came in. My wife doesn't get it. I told her I'd run it by you guys on the forum. If this thread doesn't get it, then I really know I effed up! :ROFLMAO:

Related question: does anyone know if the vehicle can still pass a state smog check with the 3rd cat deleted? It seems a popular option, and I'm not sure if the 3rd cat was only needed for EU emissions? If it can't pass, what is your plan when a smog check becomes necessary to renew registration?

Southern Oregon's only ghost town.

That image is labeled "Evora". I know the Emira chassis is very similar to the Evora, but I wouldn't assume that's a rollbar. All passenger cars have to meet rollover standards, but rollbars are usually in addition to the stock car's rollover protection.

I'd love to see anyone's pix of these. Looking at doing a matt cupholder and the surround for the V6 manual. Haven't seen an example of this particular combo anywhere.

I noticed the mirror vibration. Touring suspension, but only on mediocre or worse roads. It's fine on decent roads. I assumed it's just the consequence of the extremely communicative suspension. Your washer nozzles might be mis-aimed. They are in my new Porsche as well and if I remember...

That's annoying, but it's so similar to the OP's damage that it makes it more likely the factory is scraping that are putting the taillights in than the OP got some re-sprayed car. Do you mind calling out what dealer is jerking you around? I'd like to see more people share which ones are good...

OK sorry for the late reply @RyanGphoto , but these took forever to show up in my mailbox. Here's a fresh link to where I got them (It's variant "Emira Car")...

Good advice for all late-model year cars not driven daily. I learned this from the Emira manual, which helped me find my other cars kept on maintainers still needed a good deal of charging.

This car has so many angles, there will always be seams. Try not to let them bug you - no PPF job is entirely undetectable. Seams are way better than rock chips!

Great write-up @SaudiStig thanks for sharing! On the shift issues, make sure to check out this excellent advice thread by KitKat on adjusting the shifter. Makes 1-2 MUCH nicer. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/diy-v6-manual-1st-2nd-reverse-adjustment-hard-to-get-into-gear.5423/post-175823

@Nick Sticks to your question on the carbon fiber surround: "Does the small access panel feel like it locks in place better than the original set up?" I'd seen one other poster say they couldn't get theirs to fit right, but mine went in as easily as the original. The only fitment issue is you...

Just to confirm my 2025 with the grills is a V6 manual, manufactured in October 2024. I haven't had it long enough to change the intake filter, but if KitKat isn't seeing much debris in his, that there isn't constant intake to the supercharger? You can see the actuator for its thottle/opening...

My PPF guys asked me to get a replacement "LOTUS" text for the rear, as they said they'd likely get damaged when they came off. $75 for that but the new one is over the PPF just perfectly now.

Did full PPF and ceramic on everything, including wheels and windshield. I got Xpel 6mil all over, with an extra Xpel 10mil patch to replace everywhere the factory PPF was. And because the @GRP washer fluid cap looks so good, and lonely with the standard engine surround, I added the GRP...

The plate screw was actually VERY tight from the factory, and you can see the compression outline in the plastic of where it initially was from the factory in my second picture where I moved it. The green line does line up in the first pic but you can see where someone drew it up over the...

I'm convinced @GRP sells these gorgeous solid aluminum washer cap covers for below ($45 USD) what must be the actual cost of making them, because as soon as I put one on I suddenly badly needed the $900 carbon fiber surround to properly frame this beautiful cap. :ROFLMAO: Do you have the $1...

I've noticed the stock pads on my 2025 (no idea what brand/model they are - the manual specifies brake fluid brand but no mention of pads) don't make noise when cold, but squeal embarrassingly loudly at every traffic light stop when they get warm after a modestly spirited drive, or even just...

Not sure if this is the same seller, but I love the look of @KjDs and just bought these with the "number 08- Emira Car" silhouette: https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-lotus-Emira-puddle-light.html?spm=a2g0o.home.auto_suggest.1.468a76dbNQV0bG They won't be here for several weeks (from China)...

Thanks for the heads up!! Hopefully I can see in the cage to check for that without pulling the console out again.

You made me go look at my '25 (v6 manual)... correct! The large opening has excellent formed grills. The 3 smaller outer openings do not have a grill, so I'm guessing my cold air intake filter has at least some % of the massive bug population my front grills have mutilated. Since it's a...

I can't speak to the fuel gauge stopping, but the range estimate increasing I have seen in this and other cars. It's normal, and it's because it's based on your average MPG the last few miles. Drive like a hooligan for a while, it'll say you've got a lot less miles to go than if you've been in...

I'd like to thank @kitkat and @Eagle7 for this ridiculously helpful tweak. My shifts are significantly smoother! :giggle: I'd recommend this to ANYONE whose Reverse/1/2 shifts are more difficult than 3-4-5-6. I think the moderators should make this a sticky thread (not sure how to "at" them?)...
