I went with this same one but when I hooked it up tonight to my Redline 360c it seems like it doesn't have enough juice. The redline acts strangely and the screen goes on and off. Disappointing. I might have to go the tap route.

Well, it is under warranty by Lotus for 10 years but yeah, I definitely don't want to be messing around with that scenario. I'll have a chat with the installer about it. They probably have methods to ensure this doesn't happen but I'd like to know what those methods are!

I'm having PPF installed this week and I was just asked if it could be done on-site in my own garage by the installer (he brings all of his own lighting/equipment etc.) The question I have is, since we're in the height of pollen season here in NC, should I be concerned at all about this or do...

Purchased! Totally worth $24 to support this forum. It's been a treasure trove of information and I'm sure will continue to be such as we all start enjoying our Emiras for the years to come.

I ended up ordering the full PPF package from LCF when I picked up my Emira a few weeks back and it's slated to be installed this Thursday. It doesn't include ceramic over the PPF but I may add that depending on how it looks/feels. Like @Xroyalnavy, I saw the PPF on the Magma one at LCF and...

If you haven't already, I would highly recommend taking a tour of the USS North Carolina (battleship) in Wilmington on your way up. I did it many years ago and want to go back. It's a really cool experience to get to tour the inside and outside of a real life battleship. I plan to take my...

Count me in. My Emira is here in north Raleigh and would love to see some of her siblings :) I took it to a casual park and meet yesterday over off Capital and everyone loved it. Love the "oh wow that's a Lotus?!?" comments that I get all the time. Also, drove it to the gym the other day and...

I did more testing today and found it does not happen in neutral. In fact, it also doesn’t happen in 1st or 2nd gear. It happens with any acceleration from 3rd-6th gears. EDIT: After getting home I watched your videos. Mine sounds exactly like yours. I'll talk to my dealer about the shifter...

Just took this on my iPhone but you can clearly hear the ticking noise whenever I press the throttle.

Thanks for sharing the post. Respectfully, I DID search for this on search engines, in the handbook, and on this forum. Unfortunately, forum application search algorithms are often fairly useless. For example, my previous search of "headlight adjustment" returned this despite the existence of...

I do not believe it's the valves. It doesn't change with revs. It sounds more like a vibration-caused ticking noise than an engine-caused sound. I'm shocked nobody else has jumped in here. I'll see if I can get some sound clips of it.

Definitely doesn't sound like it's coming from that area. Sounds like it's a ticking noise somewhere behind the seats.

Has anyone else driven at night and noticed this? Compared to my 340i I feel somewhat blind in the Emira with low beams. Conversely, the high beams are out of this world bright and reveal EVERYTHING but obviously I can't keep them on all the time :)

So I am loving the Emira and at this point I'm just looking into a few small quirks that are somewhat annoying to see if they are normal or exceptions. One such thing is that whenever I accelerate (doesn't matter if it's light or hard acceleration), I notice a subtle ticking noise that I THINK...

Bump, anyone?

Fresh wash (#2) today. There is so much pollen here in NC that it's almost impossible to keep her clean but she sure does shine like a mirror after a nice hand wash! The silver wheels are also a bit of a pain to keep clean but IMO they're worth it. I've had several comments about how the...

Here in NC it would be FAR too dark to match the privacy glass and be anywhere near the legal limit (35%). The privacy quarters look almost like limo tint. That's one reason I opted out of it (and I wanted to be able to see that beautiful engine). These tinted cars do look pretty badass, though!

You didn't mention the wheels but otherwise it's virtually the same spec as mine. It will look like this for any potential buyers: EDIT: You added the silver wheels information so the above is basically the car (minus privacy glass)

Having worked with Shane & Shane many times over the past year+ and after having picked up my Emira from them just 3 weeks ago, I fully agree with your post. I appreciate you taking the time to recognize them for such a job well done. I really enjoyed my Emira pickup experience and Lotus Cape...

I've done a couple night drives in the Emira and the high beams are absolutely off the charts amazing. I feel like I can see EVERYTHING with them. However, the low beams seem like they're TOO low and on backroads at night where we have lots of deer around here I feel somewhat blind as they do...

Thanks for the excellent feedback. Do you have the touring or sport suspension? I felt the body roll on my test drives with touring but I notice very little on my sport suspension. I'm very tempted to knock this out (mostly for aesthetics) but I just don't want to have to stress over...

Closing in on 1,100 miles and no desire for power upgrades. This car really sings once you are able to push it hard and it doesn't lack power at all unless you're trying to drag race people. Even then, I do feel like it could hold its own against all but the most drag-focused cars on the road...

I'll try to join tomorrow if my dinner guests leave by then.

You won't regret it. It's a fantastic setup.

Thanks for sharing this. As I've started to drive it a bit harder after completing the break-in miles, I've found that shifting into 2nd when revving out 1st almost to redline can be a bit slow/clunky. This was described in some YouTube videos, especially the Hagerty drag race video where they...

I'm 13 days into ownership and just cleared the 1,000 mile mark today. So far, zero significant issues. The only, very minor issues I have encountered are as follows: 1. My iPhone 15 pro often does not wirelessly reconnect to CarPlay. It seems to happen about every other day. If I go into...

Let the fun begin! As of right now, after actually opening up this car a bit, I don't see any need for power increases. She pulls hard and I think adding more power would only reduce my confidence with the car. This opinion may change as the weeks and months go on but for now, the Emira has...

I'll weigh in here in hopes that I can help. For the initial startup, even with option 2 (Valve fully closed) with the decat, the startup is still more aggressive than any mode stock IMO. This is partly based on feedback from my wife today when I started it up in fully closed mode and she was...

Lynchburg, Virginia.

I can't speak for the Milltek exhaust, but I just drove ~150 miles on mostly highways with the full closed setting on the controller with the GRP delete it was very pleasant at around 75mph. A very slight drone but it's quiet and not at all tiring.

My brother owns the shop so the installation was free. A competent shop should be able to do the install of both in less than 2 hours total from start to finish so I don't think it should cost more than ~$300 if you don't want to do it yourself. Of course that all depends on cost of labor in...

After nearly two weeks and 980 miles (just 20 away after my Virginia trip the past 36 hours!), I still think the system is adequate for the car. It is true that when you roll down the windows the bass hits noticeably less sharply and for some songs in that scenario the bass hits become a bit...

Installed the GRP decat and Milltek valve controller. It really brings the car alive. The sound difference is VERY noticeable in a positive way. Much more aggressive and deeper tone and louder in general. It could be a mental thing, but the throttle response feels a bit sharper and the car...

Why thank you good sir. The change has been made so I guess it's more official now!
