Five Emiras made the trek to the Polecat this morning, despite the signs saying the road was closed! Two i4s and three V6s, the first time we have had i4s join us. Hello to Matt, Ethan and Jasmine who joined us for the first time. Much discussion was had over a tasty brunch about the...

Interlopers are welcome from anywhere! See you tomorrow.

Will be great to see an i4 Emira. See you tomorrow.

I will be there.

Can you reverse in? I have lights on the back wall of the garage. I use the wing mirror to align the car with the back corner of the garage and slowly reverse in, dropping the near side mirror a little in steps as I come in so I can see the rear arch and how close to the wall. When the mirror...

Hi @Bancho, nice job on the key fobs. Do you have the dimensions for the Eletra one? Reason for asking is that I have the Lotus tracker fob to carry as well as the Emira key and was wondering if it would fit in the Eletra fob cover?

Just over a week to go. Enjoy those Easter eggs and see you on the 7th.

Clearly he was on a private road at the time.

This is a Nimbus with privacy glass. Depending on the angle you look at the engine the glass can look darker but you can definitely see it.

I have privacy glass and can see the engine fine through the glass. That video is a bit misleading as it depends on the angle you are looking through the glass.

Club Lotus tends to be for 70s and earlier, and is a bit more “old skool“. LDC seems to focus more on drive outs and for more modern Lotus. Check out their web sites.

You don’t have all brake disc (rotors) having to be replaced or needing to have a rear light cluster replaced.

Does the Emira have a front / back fader? I thought it only had a side to side balance control.

Three eared like this. In the US at some point the ears were not allowed for safety reasons and Elans were shipped without the ears, just big ol’ nuts requiring a big spanner. I think they were referred to as Nader nuts.

For those of us with knock on wheels and a mallet in the trunk this is a fascinating thread.

I got mine working but it was a bit intermittent. After the 4th time while driving along I got the phone call to say that my car was being stolen I gave up and just carried the fob from then on.

Just hold down the play/pause button for 5 seconds and the screen turns off (apart from a faint Emira logo).

I used a tiny square piece of black electrical tape to cover over 50% of the light. Seemed about right to me. At night I turn the main screen off and the dash screen down to minimum on the dimmer. My Elan just has a switch to turn off all the dashboard illumination - much simpler!

Or cut yourself a bit of black insulation tape.

Over time the gps tracker miles and the indicated road miles will drift apart. It’s a 2d / 3d thing. This enables you to synchronize them if you can be bothered.

Back to the OP question. Having been driving around a bit in the dark, you can see the green light of the auto interior light button reflected in the rear view mirror as it reflects off the glass. I still think that’s a bit of a bright light but haven’t got around to masking it down to 30%...

This is what you need for cold.

Yep, thats from the May 23 version. And I quote… “For the first 1000 miles, only use moderate throttle openings (about half of the available accelerator pedal travel) and do not run the engine continuously at engine speeds over 4,000 rpm. – For the first 1000 miles, use only ‘Tour’ drive mode...

The Full Magma in the wild!

A lovely morning for a drive. Great to meet Speedluvver who travelled up from deepest Surrey. We didn’t meet the Porsche owner but they clearly parked in an ideal position to admire the glorious rear ends of the Emiras! Until the next one……..
