What time is the announcement?

It just depends on your car's shift arm. Kitkat's fit just fine, and mine required only the slightest adjustment with a small metal file.

I've attached a video of the rubber insert used on the factory shift linkage. Once you see that piece compared to the quality Heim Joint that replaces it, you realize where some of that rubbery first and second gear shift engagement comes from. I didn't notice much increase in shift force...

Emira shift linkage rubber insert.

The shift kit is worth it and makes it even more fun IMO!

LOL I'm sure the Porsche guys thought the same thing when I parked. At least your Porsche guy knew how to back in.

Thanks to @kitkat video, I knew what to expect when installing my short shift kit. Here are a few additional tips and tricks for installing this modification. A small step ladder makes it easy to crawl in and out of the boot of the Emira. The inside body of my short shifter needed a bit of...

I snuck into Boxstoberfest and made some new friends. :cool:

I know, it's almost painful to watch. Hopefully, something good comes from renting out the track because they can drive like that to and from the dealership.

Does anyone know what the thread size is of the little screw on these cases? Mine came loose today, and I lost the side that screws into the insert. I regret that I ignored the little voice in my head to put a drop of Loctite on it when I put it together...

This Lotus Elise S2 is an ultra-lightweight mid-engined roadster powered by a high strung Toyota 4 cylinder engine. It sits alone in a class of one, and aims to provide an absolutely pure driving experience devoid of things like power-steering or those pesky crumple zones. James is excited to...

Ugh, I was really hoping it wasn't going to be another EV sports car. A 4-Eleven would be much cooler IMO.

That's what I'm thinking.

I stumbled onto the video below of an Emira taking a leisurely stroll around the Circuit of the Americas race track. It was posted by Lotus & Bentley of Denver. I also noticed that the electronic billboards in the stands and around the paddock had Lotus advertised on them. So, I'm assuming Lotus...

I like the brake light bar that spans across the back.

Has anyone tracked a Caterham? It seems like that could also be a good, lightweight car that's easy on consumables.

The latest teaser makes me think it's a new track car with 3D-printed bits. Maybe a 4-Eleven?

In preparation for LOG43 and a track day at COTA, I added a ZL1 Addons Feather Lite tow hook from GRP.

A 211 or 311 would be epic!

1. I don't know of a rear hook. Maybe someone else knows about that. 2. I'm sure you could run the OEM tow hook at a track day as long as it visually meets their requirements. Some events might require the tow hook to be obviously marked or a bright color. Maybe you could paint the loop on the...

Yes, most racing organizations require your car to have a tow hook if you are going on track. https://www.gregsraceparts.com/collections/emira-products/products/zl1-addons-feather-lite-stealth-tow-hook-for-emira-1?variant=46916423516393

Those are wise words! I've always wanted an Exige so I might have to scratch that itch.

Some goodies came in.

You are spot on about the consumable costs. That's another benefit of having a really lightweight racecar. I'm able to do most of the wrenching so that also helps.

Wow, that's a real bummer.

Here's a repaired Elise Clamshell. https://www.facebook.com/share/gDam9PgprrZpwLsy/

That's a bummer about the body panels. It would be great if someone started making some carbon fiber replacement panels.

That K24 Elise looks like a great way to get started!

I'm having such a good time with my Emira that I've been considering getting a dedicated track car, and I would like to stay with the Lotus brand. Is there a specific model, year, or trim that makes for a great track car that I should keep an eye out for? I would assume that budget is probably...

This is so cool! I watch this guy's videos from time to time, and it was really neat to get on the forum to find out it was your car that he detailed and filmed!

I had no idea how exciting the FIA World Endurance Championship was until I stumbled onto this video! These drivers really mix it up!

The 7mm bolts where the same on mine. The Torque spec on those is pretty light at 4 Nm.

Finally, an Emira owner who likes coffee more than me! I wished we lived closer because I would definitely join your drives and meetups! 😋:coffee:
