    Shifting in V6 manual

    Anyone see when pulling down from 3rd to neutral, the vertical movement of the stick is strong and tends to go past neutral and partially into 4th? It’s still in neutral but goes to the point where I can’t wiggle the stick left and right, super annoying when trying to downshift into 2nd just to...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    So I’ve finally had some time to fiddle around a bit. On the nav, I don’t use apple carplay so can’t comment on the system freeze, in my case I could not stand the thought of charging my iPhone constantly so connected an android I wasn’t using and just keep it connected to the car all the time...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    She’s finally here! Took delivery today. First time seeing Nimbus in person, immediately fell in love. Will try to post some initial thoughts later but overall experience is good so far and I just can’t stop looking back after parking the car to admire the lines of the Emira (especially the side...

    Japan - 2024/06/22 (sat) Southern Saitama Tour (県道11号 熊谷小川秩父線)

    Been considering alternatives for lunch around the proposed route. Start point is Michino Eki Ogawa, assuming route 11 is the preferred route, I have plotted stops A and B, when we near Michino eki Chichibu, Chinbata (buta don) or Nigurumaya Dining (salisbury steak ハンバーグ) looks to be popular...

    Japan - Auto Insurance Experiences

    Hi team Japan! As delivery approaches and I now need to look into insurance options, would appreciate your info around experiences in finding companies that provide coverage. From what I have found out, it’s not possible to get an online quote as there are no insurance companies that list...

    Japan - 2024/06/22 (sat) Southern Saitama Tour (県道11号 熊谷小川秩父線)

    According to google it's 20 min from Takasaka to Michino eki ogawamachi. So meet at 9:45 and leave Takasaka by 10:15? Also, just noticed that Michino eki Ogawamachi is temporarily closed due to renovation, may need to come up with a plan B.

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Question to those who have installed ETC, from what I have read so far looks like most people had the dealer install, can you let me know how much it cost? my dealer is quoting somewhere around 75k yen. Seems super expensive compared to what I paid in my previous cars, just wanted to understand...

    Japan - Self-healing paint???

    Shouldn’t be an issue as long as the detailer follows protocol and first buffs, smooths out the paint before applying coating. My recommendation is Polish Factory in Nerima, problem is they are usually fully booked for the next 3 or 4 months…

From the time of deposit, i never thought of selling the F82, plan was to own both cars but with delivery nearing, i...

    Japan - Shipping and Delivery (輸送中エミーラ目撃情報)

    2 year anniversary from my initial deposit coming up in a couple of weeks and I could not resist any longer to wait for a proactive update from Lotus so called my sales rep. Though highly skeptical, he told me most probably another month and delivery expected in May, looks like PDI has been the...

    Good stuff! Thanks for checking. when my car finally comes, I’ll just keep the Dr and 3w at home, probably will score my best round ever… Also saw a vid on YouTube demonstrating how golf bags will fit not only in the boot but also in the rear compartment so good to go with the missie!

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Sorry, may seem like a stupid question. Does the Emira come with built in sat nav? Or is it to be used with Carplay or Android Auto?
