Lotus could take a lesson from GM: the C8 Corvette has a similar "completely covered" underbody, however there's a hole immediately below the oil filter and another smaller one, immediately below the oil pan drain plug, allowing immediate/unobstructed access for oil/filter changes. Neither are...

I received my V6 manual transmission Emira in early June. I noticed it had a different floor mat set-up than earlier models (mine had press-on pegs, instead of screwed-in connectors). Perhaps you’re missing the “vent holes” behind the front tires for that reason (it’s an earlier version)? How...

Here’s a couple photos of my installed “boot-bags”. As you can see, they don’t take up 100% of the trunk. OK by me, since that leaves space for my small red/black “tool-bag” which stores a tire pressure gauge, nighttime light, flat repair and other emergency tools. Not seen in the photos are the...

Here’s something my car detailer pointed out this past w/e, when doing PPF touch-ups on a full wrap: behind each front (not rear) wheel, there’s a small hole, he thought may be for air-flow. Rocks kicked up by the tire enter, then get deposited in the small gap on the lower car edge, where they...

First DIY oil/filter change at 1850 km. My thanks to everyone posting above on this thread. I referred to everyone’s advice. I backed onto my usual ramp system, which increased the gap below the car, by 1.5”, over the gap created using just the black ramps. I don’t recommend this system for...

Final update: received my Bagworld 2-piece “boot” set today. Took 5 business days to arrive at my doorstep (from the UK to Canada), following the date of payment. They told me when shipped out and provided photo of the packing slip. Able to easily track shipment through DHL. Sent securely packed...

Zero ignition detection issues for me.

Glad you did the test drive. FWIW I enjoyed my test drive as well, however once you get to spend more time with the Emira, it just keeps getting better! I suspect it's like that with most performance-type vehicles: given more time to explore and get used to and discover new things about the...

Have a V6 and no issues with clutch, but if you're not into clutching/shifting in heavy City traffic, the automatic transmission is far easier (but less fun IMO). It seems for most people, you're either a die-hard "manual transmission sport car person" or not. Enabling your spouse to drive could...

Made by Witamats (Calif. USA) and I'm happy with them, however I'm still waiting to receive the already-paid-for rear boot/trunk matching mat. If you order from them, just order the front cabin dual set, which they've figured out. Here's the thread where I discuss the Witamats and provide more...

Now that I'm driving my Emira, just past the break-in mileage (yaaaay!) I've found: -sunglasses can't be stored behind the Emira touch screen. That area is too shallow (unlike a Corvette C8) -for anyone interested, I purchased a case to hold my sunglasses, which "clips" to the inside of the...

In case this will help you Bancho, attached are photos of the driver-side OEM mat that came with my 2024 (June delivery) FE V6 Emira, plus a close-up of the "peg" the mat attached to. Hopefully someone can provide you with a close-up of the connecting floor screw thread location, for that style...

I'm getting that heavy "clunk" sound/sensation, when I hit the extremes of any turning radius. Happens all the time with my wheels cranked all the way. I understand this to be "normal" so I haven't bothered to tell my dealer about it.

I came from 2 Corvette C8 Stingrays (2020 and ++loaded 2023) to the Emira and like you, couldn’t afford to keep 2 sport cars (or at least my spouse thought so, lol). So I went from a more powerful GM car to the Emira. I haven’t driven a Blackwing but was interested in them due to their manual...

Glad to hear the comments of others, that downshifting and increasing RPM's (admittedly "fun") won't really hurt the engine. My fear that it will, stems from my first time on a track almost 20 years ago. I was in my then-BMW M3 and had an actual race car driver in my passenger seat, as my...

"Ditto" to the responses of LuckysDad and Eagle7. By downshifting at speed, you increase your RPM's and wear your engine, which is the most expensive component of your vehicle, so far more expensive than a set of brake pads. You're also using your clutch more and this being my first mid-engine...

Thanks for the fun video. I like the lower yellow accent striping as well.

I just paid for my 2-bag "orphan" (unclaimed) bespoke Emira "boot" set. See posts #92 and 103 above, on this thread. I dealt directly with Colin at Bagworld (owner of the company) today and gave him my credit card number over the phone; a real gentleman, very accommodating and easy to contact by...

Had trouble fitting my clubs in the boot/trunk of the Emira. I could get my old Ogio carry bag in with everything, but not the driver (so it went behind the seats) and the head of one of the other fairway woods sat high up, making the trunk lid harder to close. I shopped around, comparing...

I did this "new vehicle dance" many years with the Corvette C8. GM had all its problems in the beginning of that new model: strike in 2019, COVID in 2020 and beyond, and increased demand challenges, to name a few. I managed to get a C8 Stingray and got on the list for a C8 Z06. Then after...

From the OP's comments: "Nevermind that she stalled it twice with traffic behind us. The third time she actually got it moving only to realize that it was in 3rd the whole time." If you're correct and she IS the better driver...then I think we need to send out the "Forum Police" and repossess...

I for one, thank the OP R35_J for starting this thread and his comments in his original post. While others may not share his concerns, he had a question which he wanted answered and he's adding to our "Forum knowledge" about the Emira. I think these are some of the main purposes of this Forum. I...
