I have full PPF and use Chemical Guys Wrap Detailer between washes. Works great. https://a.co/d/5IsVJfI

When I suggested 7:30 it’s because I was mapping from my house, which is further north. I’m fine with whatever makes sense. We should leave a little extra time to gas up in Carlsbad.

Works for me.

So where and when do you all want to meet up for the drive to Carlsbad? I’m thinking 7:30 am somewhere in south county off the 5 since that would be on the way for everyone and we are probably all spread out around OC (I’m near the 55 and Katella).

I think @seriously is in OC with a red one.

I think @cryptovince is planning to go as well.

This is coming up soon. I’m planning to attend. Happy to do a group drive from OC if anyone is interested. https://sandiegobritishcarday.com/rollingbritishcarday

Yes. There was one in the trunk of my car at delivery, and about two months later one appeared on my doorstep from Lotus 🤷‍♂️

I use a Uniden R8 with a wiretap to the connection for the USB port in the mirror housing and a Stealth Mount to hang the detector. The nice thing about Stealth Mount is that you can easily pop the detector out if you don't want it left in plain sight while you are away or want to swap it...

Someone makes a dry carbon sill cover for the Emira. You can find it on eBay/aliexpress. Kind of pricy though.

In the passenger-side footwell is a panel that covers the fuse box. 4 plastic 1/4 turn fasteners, and then you have to wrestle a bit with the panel to get it out. Getting it back in properly is even harder - the bottom of it hooks into place in a channel that you can't see in the pic below...

FWIW, the GRP pipe fit perfectly for me. I compared it to the pipe it was replacing, and they were exactly the same size. No matter where you buy it from, you won't know whether it fits until you try to install it. Maybe just buy an expander that you can return if you don't end up using it.

Just carefully pop out the existing lights using a plastic trim tool, unplug them, plug the new lights in the same way and pop them back in. You can adjust the position of the logo shining on the ground by pressing gently on the lens with your finger while turning. It's a 5-minute job.

I believe over a dozen states have adopted or will soon adopt CARB standards, so it’s a not a one state issue.

I finally got around to mounting this. I just used some VHB tape on the stock mount. I made sure to mount it high enough so that if you move the seat all the way back it clears the shelf and doesn't get crushed. I also added a small bit of foam at the bottom to keep it from vibrating against the...

I bought the second one linked in my previous post (Lotus logo) in early December. No issues with the seller and they arrived in California from China in about 8 days. They fit perfect. They are very bright (almost too bright) and easy to adjust the position of the logo. This picture was...

Hopefully these links work for you: Emira logo Lotus logo And you do not need to remove the door panel as others have said. The old lights will pop out with a trim removal tool.

Swipe left on the phone you want to delete.

I have an e50 that I was planning on mounting to the back of the drivers seat but haven’t gotten around to it. I also considered mounting it vertically just below the slot where the drivers side seat belt disappears into the panel, but I think the back of the seat will be less visible and easier...

Yeah, I got mine through Galpin. No issues, MSRP, free extended powertrain warranty, the guys there were always a pleasure to deal with. It’s weird that the reports of dealing with them are at such opposite ends of the spectrum.

Where did you take it?

I took delivery of my Emira from Galpin a couple of weeks ago. They included this at no charge. The only fine print is that you must follow all of the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance and the warranty covers any internally lubricated parts in the engine and transmission. The maintenance...

Maybe. I'll mock it up with both and see what I like better. If there is a fire I'm definitely getting out of the car either way :)

I'm thinking about mounting mine to the back of the driver's seat right at the height that if I move the seat all the way back it will just clear the storage shelf. Should make it less visible but still easy to access in a hurry.

For those asking about port->dealer timelines, here is another data point for you. Of course, it's going to be different for every dealer/car. YMMV. 12/4/21 - Deposit placed. 08/26/24 - Provided VIN 10/08/24 - Arrived in Baltimore 10/31/24 - Arrived at dealer in Los Angeles Dealer needs a few...

Mine is there too! Thanks for keeping up on this @Nova!

If you are a California resident you must register any car you bring into the state within 20 days, and they encourage people to report cars with out of state plates that appear to be in violation: https://www.chp.ca.gov/notify-chp/chp-reg-(out-of-state-registration-violators) If you have a...

Do you know if any boats arrived after the 9/24 shipment? I know with the strike they likely won't be going anywhere anytime soon, but still curious if my car is still sitting across the pond or being held hostage in Baltimore.

I was there today too. Missed you by an hour.

Ugh, so close and yet so far. 2 sequence numbers off. 1026 days in and it missed the boat by 2 cars...

Do we know if there have been any more shipments since 9/15?

The build sheet in the picture is for a V6 auto, so there definitely is at least one in there. And my VIN sequence number for a V6 auto falls between the VINs pictured. I suspect a lot of those are the V6 autos that were promised in the coming months.
