I'm checking into the Ghost II system and fortunately for me, there's an Autowatch authorized installer in my city of just over 1 million people. They checked and told me they can do an Emira installation. Thanks Andy H for the helpful info about the "gearbox lock". I look forward to your advice...

Ditto to RoryBellows's advice. You're OK driving around w/o coverings, however I'll add that should you encounter moisture entry (due to a high powered car wash, raising the rear hatch with water on it, or any type of water leak in the trunk area), water contact or ++++ humidity could...

The reactions to your mention of the Miura caused me to look it up. I'd never heard of it before. Quite the revolutionary car when introduced in 1966 and considered by some to be the "first supercar". Nice styling...however I see a more recent 2024 Miura auction ending for US$4.9 million, so a...

My experience with my 2024 FE manual transmission V6, has been problem-free after less than 2,500km (about 1,500 miles). All I've done for maintenance, is the first DIY oil/filter change. I've taken the car apart, for door insulation/new tweeter install and the third cat delete...plus I'm now...

I've got 2 sets of tires/rims and had to buy TPMS sensors for the extra set. I couldn't do so locally, so bought an OEM set from Greg at GRP (Greg's Race Parts) and they work just fine (no calibration required)...

Both door insulation and tweeter install completed. Easier to do second side with experience, as expected. For N. American vehicles, the passenger side wiring is the braided yellow/white and purple/green, as indicated by others, if you’re hooking up to OEM tweeters. For new info, the...

True. Investors who have money run away from uncertainty like a 100 metre sprinter, at the sound of the starter gun. Most others avoid any unnecessary spending, not knowing if their necessary expenses will increase and rob them of disposable income. All this sets the stage for a recession...

Mine's never done that, even after a "power wash", so I'm not convinced it happens all the time. Anyway, it looks to be a "non-issue" if the condensation disappears once the headlamps are in use.

I don't get a "loaner vehicle" from my Lotus dealer. This isn't something covered by warranty, unlike other manufacturers, so if it happens, it's only because of the dealership and you'd be ++ lucky to get that thrown in. But that's got nothing to do with the other issues identified by the OP...

GRP (Greg's Race Parts) sells a "Powerflex Wheel Install Guide Pin" for the Emira, which is a pin/guide making it easier to locate and line up the lugs, when changing tires (read the GRP description on the link below)...

I too am an "Emira fanboy" and love its looks. That said, if the Emira came in a cabriolet, I'd see it as having a better chance in the "looks department" compared to the Portofino, but I'm admittedly a HUGE convertible sport car fan. Something about the top-down wind whistling by and smelling...

For the 600 ClubSport (600 HP; 7,400 red line), at 199,000 Euros (for the "base model" w/o any other options), that's over $358,000.00 Canadian, once you factor in taxes and where I am in Canada, attracts the lowest taxes. It would cost $400,000+ other places in Canada. Those prices also exclude...

I've not experienced your issue and hopefully someone that has, will chime in to answer your question. I'm assuming your dealer was no help (wouldn't agree it could be a warranty fix). If you get no other answers, my one suggestion is to take your car to a reputable "vehicle windshield...

I’m just finishing my driver side door: insulation and Alpine tweeter. First time I’ve ever done these mods. I owe it all to others who started and contributed to this thread (THANKS!!). I’ll post a few comments, in case it helps others who take on these tasks. For those of you with a service...

Almost true. I usually get comments from men, however last Fall when driving from my neighbourhood downtown to work, a woman in a BMW Z4 pulled up beside me and kept staring, repeatedly looking up and down the length of my Emira. We locked eyes and she smiled, before the light changed and we...

Does it install exactly like the photos? I'm assuming the top slides into the "gap" between the dash moulding...and the bottom has to be attached by double-side tape, to keep it snug and prevent it from flopping around? Is there room for your right knee? If you're using it, can you provide a...

I'm not with my Emira but found an online copy of the manual/"main handbook" here (Canadian version; everyone should check their own country's manual): https://www.lotuscars.com/en-CA/support/emira-handbook Within that, look at pages 34 - 37; and 40 to 43. This tells you a child seat (with...

Back in the day when I had young children...I was warned NOT to put their child seat in the front of a vehicle, due to the risk of injury when the front passenger airbag exploded open from a collision. You may be able to de-activate that airbag (?). See what your country says but this is from...

A few years back, I had an expensive gun metal rim with a scrape mark and a chunk taken out of it, from a damaged Costco curb that was sticking out with a sharp edge. A rim repair shop fixed it so you couldn't tell it had ever been damaged. I was surprised it looked so perfect. Depending upon...

You can purchase either a "service manual" or an "owner's handbook" from Forum member "Martylemoo" at a reasonable price, using this thread: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-full-handbook.4090/

For the OP: if you have any problem with the seatbelts, after you've replaced them with an aftermarket set (such as throwing a code, related to the seatbelts), I expect Lotus will void any warranty. I've checked into how to do replacements: 1. Locally for me, NO ONE was interested in doing...

Like others, I just use my pocket. Snooping around Amazon.ca I came up with this: 1...

No problem getting “EMIRA” in Alberta, Canada. I tried but someone had it already. I then tried “EMIRA1” but it was taken; I later learned by my dealer when test driving a car with that plate on it. They applied for “EMIRA” as soon as the car was announced and couldn’t believe it was gone. I’m...

My 2024 "'First Edition" Emira was Can$132,669 plus dealer charges plus tax. I ordered it with the "full exterior black pack" and "alcantara steering wheel" options. My exact same car in 2025 costs $152,085 plus dealer charges plus tax. An increase of Can$19,416, which is a 14.63% increase...

Knowing the set-up of the "puddle light" (the one end longer, with the wiring harness plugged in to it), use a thin pry tool around the edges to slowly work the OEM light down, then ease it forward with the harness end at the rear and initially, still out of site. Once you've got it out enough...

Several people say they've been able to carefully pry the OEM "puddle light" out of its slot, unplug it, then plug-in and insert the after-market in the same slot. A few people have commented that their after-market "puddle light" isn't a perfect fit, so they've had to wedge it in, for a tight...

Nice to see such a variety of Emira's all together. Thanks for sharing.
