I'm a loyal GRP fan/customer as Greg will tell you and I highly recommend dealing with him, especially if you're in the States and not potentially subject to this !$%+&#@! "trumped-up" tariff war. That said, Aerie came through for me as well, however they seem to be a smaller company and not as...

Hopefully where you park, will show any fluid loss on the ground/floor. If it's seeping through, it may not. Either way, check your coolant level every second day and pay attention to your engine temperature gauge. The dealer will likely ask you these type of questions anyway. Sometimes new...

I'm trying to ignore the "Trump orchestrated tariff hysteria" as much as possible...but is the US imposing a 10% or 25% tariff on UK-made vehicles? I see a Forum thread on this already (referenced below), which is speculation and doesn't provide an answer. Maybe that's the closest we'll get for...

Thanks for posting the C&D article Emira Fan. I loved its references to "rascal" and "scoundrel". It's a great play on words (personification? anthropomorphism?) which imparts the "feeling" of driving the Emira.

The logo shows a "jackass" which most or at least most "old-timers" like me, view as a derogatory term for a person. Aside from meaning "a male donkey" the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as "a stupid, annoying, or detestable person", the Oxford dictionary "a stupid person", and the...

As suggested by SJM above, it sounds like you've got something going on, unrelated to just the "cold" weather. 12 degrees Fahrenheit translates into minus 11 degrees Celsius, which isn't terribly cold. Admittedly, I say this from the "Great White North" (Canada) perspective, where our winters go...

When the rubber mallet didn't work, I used a sledge hammer (literally) to hit a chunk of 2x4 against the original Emira exhaust, in order to break the seal and budge that *!#+^&!! original exhaust. Worked like a charm! Keep in mind that exhaust pipes rust all the time, yet muffler shops are able...

When installing the GRP third cat delete, my OEM Lotus exhaust gasket (a braided material) needed replacement, after only about 2,500 miles (4,000 km). See photo below, of both the old and the new Fel-Pro replacement I purchased from GRP. The old one likely fractured in the one area, during...

It took me awhile to locate, but page 17-11 of my Emira “service manual” mentions removal of the “lever handle - gear selector”. See attached photo of that page. That’s all I found for you.

My bad as well: I see the title of your thread mentions AUTO SHIFT KNOB. This proves we Forum members who've been around for a bit and so focused on the manual transmission, will have to "shift gears" (pun intended) and realize we'll be seeing more and more postings from those enjoying the Emira...

Do a search using "subwoofer" and you'll find several Forum threads, with some answering your questions. Be patient though; you may have to wade through a few posts on the threads. For example: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/audio-thread-to-kef-or-not-to-kef.2471/page-3

The knob is threaded on, so it "unscrews" but you first have to remove a set screw. Here's a thread which may help you doing the re-install: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/raceseng-shifter-knobs.5047/

It's a 30 Torx T-handle. You want some length so I'd suggest at least 150mm long. Shmee did a YouTube video (see below) giving an intro to the Emira and around 16 minutes in, he shows you how to open the front hood/bonnet and uses the Torx. Check out the video to see the tool itself (or just...

My vote is to buy whichever vehicle you prefer, due to your driving skills and preferences. For me, depreciation doesn't factor into the decision, but that's just me. Buy whatever you find more fun to drive and whatever makes you happier. You don't need the results of a poll IMO, to make what's...

I posted this on another thread, but I'll add it to this discussion. You can purchase a personalized licence plate frame, from "BestLicensePlateFrames.com" (US company). They have a wide selection of options and can create all sorts of lettering combos. Here's my personalized (vanity) plate...

Easy/practical solution for i4 owners and a great helpful way to introduce yourself to the Forum. Welcome!

Not for me. On one of my first drives in my city, I had a Ferrari owner with a similar red-color vehicle, race up alongside my car to "check it out", likely thinking from a distance that it was a Ferrari, only to (no doubt) scoff at my "Lotus Ferrari wanna-be" and zoom off, breaking many more...

It depends on your camera type. I just received mine today, for a GoPro 13 camera, which has a different set-up: For those interested and in case it’s helpful: 1. You need long nose pliers to pull the “plug” blocking the threads for the tow hook (photos below shows the “plug” on right...

I won't know for sure until I'm at my local tracks, but they reject any interior objects that could fly around so I worry they may not like a suction-mounted camera. It would "suck" (pun intended) to show up with that set-up and have to take it down. I'm also hoping to get a view of the...

I’m looking to mount a GoPro inside my Emira, w/o using a suction cup which is frowned upon at the track. I purchased the ZL1 tow hook mount but would prefer the view from the windshield and capturing some of the dashboard and interior sound, if possible. I’d rather not drill holes or do...

Speaking with the mechanic in my "go-to shop" in preparation for this DIY job, he advised against a DIY pipe expander, saying they were ++ difficult to use, finicky and not precise enough. He thought it best to take measurements and go to a muffler shop with the proper expansion machine and get...

Many dealerships sub out PPF work to a business that specializes in it, then get the car back and add on a dealership profit charge. Don’t know if that applies to your dealership. Consider calling around for a quote from known reputable PPF businesses, which is a good idea anyway to verify...

My first thought was a red/white/blue car made to attract a ++ patriotic American, then I read the post by Nick in Sydney about the "Esprit F1 Livery" and found this: As my English ancestors would say: "Not my cup of tea."

Hello fellow Canadians. Having been "hooked" (pardon the pun) on the Simpson Racing Hybrid S restraint system at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Nevada (went twice in my not-too-distant Corvette C8 days), I'm looking to purchase one for track use in my Emira. For those of you...

It took several months of daily driving, to cement my love affair with my V6. That said, it's all a matter of taste/preference: a turbo engine very different than a supercharged engine and they each have their fans; for those who enjoy a manual transmission, that's not available with the V4...

Unfortunately I’m addicted and look at almost all Forum posts, so I’d already seen yours some time ago. My preference is to do the easier and less expensive single tweeter mod, outlined in this particular thread. Best of luck selling your speaker mounts that I know you worked hard to create...

I’m relying upon the advice from this thread for my install, so I’ll encourage everyone to post as many helpful pointers as possible. I’m now just waiting for the clamps that I’ve ordered before doing this “Emira surgery” (lol). Your guidance is invaluable, MUCH appreciated, and makes this Forum...

What about a VERY small washer, to alter the threaded distance? My camera mount ZR1 tow hook is on order, so hopefully there’s an easy solution.

Hey Randall. Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new wheels. The trunk issue is one I experienced, but later determined it was caused by a key fob cover, which accidentally activated the "open trunk" mechanism while I handled it or (moreso) put the fob in my pocket. If the trunk isn't...
