Great observations, I agree with them all. I've enjoyed my car very much. Unfortunately some cars do have issues. I just read the current Motor Trend, and they have all kinds of issues with the car they tested which is a shame.

You don't have to, or should you keep it under 4K RPM all the time, just don't sustain higher RPM's. It's good for the engine to see some higher RPM's and harder throttle throughout the break in period.

They are glued in. One of mine popped off when I did not see a clip that is used to fasten that piece to the rear lower access panel. I removed the panel to install the third cat delete and exhaust controller. I epoxied the piece back in and so far, so good.

It was for both.

Have a look at this thread. This may help a bit. I'm going to try it soon. In addition to the different trans fluid, the OP of the thread also used an additive that is supposed to enhance the mechanical action of the transmission (and engine)...

Thanks, my main hope is that the transmission is less resistant to a higher RPM shift from 1st to 2nd. The short shift mod may also help with this if that adds a more mechanical mechanism and loses the spongy rubber connection. I'm not looking to slam through the gears but would appreciate more...

Eagle7, I'm curious. After having changed the transmission fluid a while back, do you find that the gear shifts are easier/smoother or can be done more quickly than when the stock fluid was used? I realize you also added the other additive but wanted to check in on this.

You are welcome, and I meant "recalls" on the original message. I'll see if I can edit that.

I came across this while doing a search to see if there were any known Recall's on our cars (There's not). I was trying to see if my car is subject to the A/C water intrusion fix as I have not heard from my dealer on that. Yes, I do plan on calling them but wanted to know if it is an actual...

Apologies in advance, I know you've already answered this question, but I feel obligated to ask again. I don't' have too much problem with the factory shift feel, though it is a bit long. I would just like a more precise shift feel, particularly when shifting from 1st to 2nd. More precision...

It does not feel like those prices could be correct for the complete Sunvisor in Alcantara. If they are, someone should put together a group buy for the U.S. market. A lot of folks would sign up.

Yes, my understanding is they use a similar transmission.

Posting to see if anyone is interested in the Forge Short Shift kit. I purchased it but have not installed it and don't believe I will. Make an offer if interested. I'd rather not see it sit in my garage unused...

This is another example of how software coding could change how this works. If you could enable turning off the DRL's this light would only illuminate when you had the headlights on. I'd bet there is a software switch to enable turning off the DRL's. We don't have the volume of cars to...

It's funny, but every time I've used that prop to hold my service panel up, I had a helluva time getting it back out. I'd have to fight with it for what felt like a few minutes to finally get it detached.

Just to say it, I appreciate all of the work and info you have provided on this post. I have the Redline gear oil and am looking forward to any pictures you may provide to assist my local Indie in changing that fluid. I'm also very interested in what you (or others) may do for noise reduction in...

Have you by chance had the windshield ceramic or other coated. That will sometimes cause the wipers to studder.

I don't know where the drain hole is for the transmission, but I'm very interested in your feedback about if it makes the gear change easier during quick shifts based on the transmission fluid you change to.

A recent comparison test on the Emira vs E-Ray from Motor Trend. I don't think I've seen this posted yet. Looks pretty accurate to me. "Let's kill some giants"! https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2024-lotus-emira-first-edition-vs-chevrolet-corvette-e-ray-comparison-test-review/

I suspect they are using some Geely software (or whomever Geely’s supplier is) for the main software for all of the controls and then Toyota’s software for the mechanicals. They do let you adjust a lot of the main software through the settings on the infotainment screen. This is obviously...

It requires a software change for U.S. vehicles. A Lotus service center should be able to make the change, 1. if they know how, and 2. if they are willing to do it.

Yea, this does not sound good. Does Florida have an agreement with California to collect and send sales tax? I had an issue with the sales tax on a purchase in Illionois, and I live in Wisconsin. I figured it out, but in the end your state will want to collect their full tax. If they have...

Mine took all of 6 liters, 6.34 quarts to be completely full.

Below was the advice that I gave to a FB Group user that was having CarPlay issues. Mine has worked almost all the time after I did this. I had some problems like this early on. I ended up deleting everything and starting over. There is some selection, can’t remember what it is called to...

We need to see if we can get a dealer service department to code it back in. Or better yet, find someone willing to develop a software coding software for the Emira. I've contacted some of the coding firms, but they have not shown any interest yet.

I read they “Loved” it. That’s what sticks with me. I love it too.

Hey Eagle, thanks for all of that detail. Sounds like the same principal that is used when Kohler puts small pieces of material on their stainless-steel sinks to quiet them down. It would be nice to have a dedicated thread on this topic in the future once you have completed more of your...

I'd like to add some sound dampening material also, probably over the winter (Wisconsin) mostly just behind the seats, and below the rear shelf. I would think this would also help with gearbox noise. Let us know what product you are thinking of using, etc.

I brought my car to my local Indie ($175) for its first oil change today, 1100 miles. I also brought 6 quarts of the Amsoil oil recommended on this post, and a filter, magnetic drain plug, and the tools recommended. Just received a call saying it is done but appears to need about another half...

You need to pull the wire; the connector is further down under the headliner. I pulled the headliner down a bit to provide some room for the connector to pull through. I just pulled the headliner at the Sunvisor mounting hole.

If you own a phone, you just simply can't go wrong with this upgrade.

This is a subject I can get behind. I hate those damn stickers with a passion and vow to remove them from any vehicle that I own, threat of jail time, who cares. I mean, the Alcantara visors are beautiful, its sacrilege to put those yellow monstrosities on them. These were much more difficult...

I just received mine and couldn't agree more. Thanks, Silent-Cilantro!

Add the carpet buttons for a nice interior touch.

Did you install this, and if so, how did it work? Which part did you buy? Thanks,
