I have a can of ACF-50 ready to go, but I'm still trying to figure out how best to clean/polish things up before laying down the protectant spray. My supercharger especially looks like it could do with some buffing up due to surface corrosion. Getting the wheels off and doing all the...

Put a sock in it.

Well, horses are allowed on the roads (with a few restrictions dictated by safety rather than climate policy), but that probably wasn't the main point of your question ;) My level of being fussed is obviously predicated on being allowed to practice such a hobby on public roads. I can't see the...

So, just double what we're paying now (in the UK)? Big deal :) 🦆 Personally, I'm counting on robot replacement limbs and spine becoming a thing Any Time Now. 🤞 🙏 I'm not particularly fussed if driving becomes a hobby, approximately the equivalent of keeping/riding horses today, as long I'm...

This looks fab... sure beats the cardboard avocado tray I'm currently using 😆

Ever get that Groundhog Day feeling? :) https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/goodyear-or-michelin-durability.1204/post-26460

I'm nowhere near your mileage yet, but I've found the Goodyears to be "fine" if I take it easy in the cold (certainly good enough that I can't be arsed swapping sets, and just steal my wife's car in super cold / icy weather), so I'll likely stick with those. Not sure I'd ever say the same about...

Unless I've misunderstood, and @Sentinel is a leet haxor, this replaces the stock Android Auto UI... you won't be able to ride roughshod over the rest of the infotainment UX. This looks like a fun little project. Nice work (y) (*hides patiently behind seven proxies, fearing a smackdown from...

I have to admit, that is pretty slick. First upgrade should definitely be to dump that lead-acid boat anchor and put in a nice lithium battery.

If they are considering any hybridisation at all, I do wonder if Geely would insist they use their new "super hybrid" powertrains? The AMG option might make most sense from the perspective of re-engineering effort (and goodbye luggage area 😅 ), but Geely hasn't exactly been shy about pushing...

Half-baked twist on a classic joke formula, as I scoot between meetings... What's the difference between a 718 Cayman and an Emira V6? With the Cayman, the whining comes from the cabin instead of the engine bay. 🥁 😄 :rolleyes:

Missed opportunity to brand these as Emira FU edition. Agreed.

Same... can't recall it ever not working for me with Android Auto. Maybe be some quirk with your particular phone brand/OS @Beachbum ? As a data point, I'm running a Pixel on Android 14. The menu-fiddling described by @PsymonR seems relevant too (though I don't recall ever changing that...

omg... look at the level of paint bubbling already!!! 🦆 Bad jokes aside, congrats on making it to the finish line, and welcome aboard :D

You really need to stop copy-pasting, or change the wording to "end of the calendar month" :D 🦆

Aw man... this is rigged. I never win. <pouty face> Maybe I should start actually entering. Congrats @neiru37 ;)

Wanted to chime in that this is great work, and thanks @kitkat for sharing the love. I'm holding off even considering disassembling the interior until summer returns, but the look is appealing for sure. I think my favourite thing about this thread is that "mustache plate" is now part of our...

Can confirm, busted through door and grabbed a sweet deal 🥳

<looks at clock> <cracks knuckles>

You say that like I actually got said emails... :) but yeah, I found this after asking the question. great to see they worm their way out of pretty much everything in the T&C's (it's even more dire than it looks on that screen capture, if you pull the actual product documents... par for the...

I don't recall being offered an option to extend the warranty at purchase time... is this a US-only thing? Does anyone know if it works differently in the UK (like they offer as you're coming up to end of the initial 3 years)?

ok, despite telling myself I was going to abstain from modding this car for as long as possible, I'll finally bite :) Done: - PPF & ceramic coat (Xpel stealth all over, colour-change roof via Xpel gloss black film, Xpel gloss black on all existing black bits) - Aerie V2 lightweight wheels...

I'm pretty sure Steve explicitly cites these as likely better for your back than the stock items. Really, the only thing giving me pause on ordering a pair is the can-i-stick-carry-on-luggage-behind-the-seat thing. I'd be barging my way to the front of the queue if a folding shell or this...

You're crediting the left hand with knowing what the right hand it up to here... silly rabbit ;) 😢 This is literally the only issue that really bugs me. If my "forever car" starts blistering years from now, and outside warranty, I'm going to be incredibly miffed. I encourage (read: humbly...

Nipped down to my local commercial/industrial park just now, and stuffed a 600mm tile cutter (boxed) in the front passenger footwell + seat, and a bunch of 600x300 tiles, plus a 15kg tub of tile adhesive, in the boot. A guy who stopped to admire it as I was loading up remarked that it was the...

I'm mildly anal about my tyre pressures, so I keep this in the car at all times, because bollocks to hunting for a service station, paying for air, and/or dealing with gauges that are off by a mile - https://www.ringautomotive.com/en/product/RTC4000 EDIT: to stay on topic for the thread, today...

photograph carefully taken by your passenger, right?.... right? :P

Thanks for chipping in here... these actually look really close to my favourite now-sadly-departed shoe for driving, Merrell Bare Access (version 1 or 2). I wore those things everywhere, for everything, all the time for many years, until my better half declared them dead and made me chuck them...

In case it still matters, I can also totally recommend the gang at Auto Wax Works (Silverstone) who did my satin PPF and gloss-black (colour-change) PPF of the roof. I can try to snap some pics of the specific edges in the daylight, but I am super happy with the job they did... because you're...

I also observe this... I had kind of idly written it off something like the weight distribution changing (more weight on the right) once I'm sitting in it, so the two with more weight on them were getting more in heat into them more quickly or something. Seeing as you're left-hand-drive, that...

Suggest checking out these guys... I'm liking what I see, and they have been super-responsive in rapidly developing kits for us Emira owners 👍 RB Performance Brakes is a Supporting Vendor! | Lotus Emira Forum (more discussion around pads, rotors, and carbon-ceramic kits in this thread too -...

It sucks to see an enthusiast worn down like this, and sad/troubling they just could not make it right after all that time and effort. I hope you find a better experience with something else. Don't be a stranger :tiphat:

Interesting... makes me wonder if all the early hoo-haa and confusion around stock ride heights was partly caused by variations in the installation of that circlip. Regardless, lookin' good 😎

Interesting... did they happen to specify what part numbers would be compatible?

I've been trying to scout around for other ceramic or semi-metallic pads that espouse "low dust", and came across some from Endless, which I think are available in Evora fitments (can't seem to fit a fitment guide :( ). Anyone had any experience with this brand? ENDLESS OFFICIAL WEB SITE...

Depending on whether it was done from template or hand-cut, look for how neatly reliefs have been done in top corners of the side intakes, around the front bumper intakes, on the buttresses where the hatch meets the boot lid, and rear wheel arch vents. (and even though you aren't expecting...

Inquiring minds must know... what do the two exhaust extension bits weigh? :) 🦆

This looks fantastic, Eagle. Very tasteful. Great job. I hope you can resolve the booming... if your simple tweak is effective, maybe Aerie can include extensions with / incorporate them into version 3 of their back box 🙏
