    When did new Lotus cars stop smelling like glue?

    The "glue" smell is not from the bonded aluminium, but the glass reinforced fibre. Just stick you head in the boot "trunk in the US" and breath in....Typical Lotus smell.

    Lotus Emira 2.0 Reverse gear issue

    The garage can give you the software versions: Current on car and after upgrade, just need to ask. I also requested a copy of the service bulletin. The claimed speed is now better that 0.8 sec for the change from P to N to either R or 1.

    Lotus Emira 2.0 Reverse gear issue

    Today I dropped the Turbo Emira off at the dealership for a software update . (Mainly for the gearbox) The update took close to 3 hours and apparently fixes to the infotainment taking up much of the time. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the selection of Reverse ( R ) or ( 1 ) is greatly...

    Aerie carbon paddle installed on i4 - Very Happy

    The green lines are how I think the carbon layup should look. Just a matter of opinion really, no mechanical differences.

    Aerie carbon paddle installed on i4 - Very Happy

    I purchased a set long before I received my car. I have not mounted them, as I do like to metallic feel of the originals. Also if there is one small criticism, it is a shame that the carbon layout is not mirrored, but all in the same orientation. I will most probably remake these at some point...

    USB connectors

    A question to the more experienced. Are the USB connectors, rear view mirror, below the front console, and in the rear glove box connected to one another? Can data be transmitted from one to another ? I was thinking about front and rear dashcam interconnectivity via the car's built in USB...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Oil change on my 4 cylinder car. Diffuser removal, does not correspond to V6 workshop manual. The quantity and size of bolts used, as well as the removal sequence does not appear to be correct. Still, job done.
