    I think I am, pun intended, in the same boat with you.

    It also appears several others are scheduled for August.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I have used Torque for probably 10 years, but it never occurred to me to display it on Android Auto. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I believe @Nova is still unable to get the data as they put the shipping manifests behind a paywall after the 7/8/24 update.

    Aerie Carbon Fiber Engine Cover

    Joe at Motorcars of Georgia (also where I bought my Elise) says I should get it in August, so I'll push through break-in really quick and we'll get together!

    Custom MagSafe Wireless Charger

    We're very interested, but I'm just holding back until I get the car and try everything out. Allegedly it's almost here!

    Aerie Carbon Fiber Engine Cover

    Well, I was going to tell you guys I'm in Chattanooga, so we should meet up for a drive, but if @bif is dipping out, the pool is shrinking. :) But I totally can't blame you. I drove a GT4 and found it underwhelming, but a GT4RS is a different animal, especially at MSRP. Enjoy!

    Emira vs … Miata?

    Wind noise, yes, the RF is quieter. However, the multi-layer ragtop on the ND is pretty dang good. Road noise is not affected as far as I'm aware.

    Emira vs … Miata?

    The PRHT, cool though it was, required quite a bit of "adjustment" to the Miata. The rear fenders were about 4mm higher or something like that, and the rear decklid was different and made from steel rather than aluminum. I think the RF was intended to require less modification to other panels.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    At first, I thought it was a typo and you meant to say the common phrase "relegated to the history books", but then I realized, no, you do mean regulated. And then I was sad. But, I commend your solid wordplay.

    Emira vs … Miata?

    I would have selected an RF over my ragtop were it not for autocross racing. The weight penalty of the power top is not significant, I do love a good targa, and you get increased durability and security and noise isolation with the top in place. However, when turning hard laps at parking lot...

    📓 Journals kitkat's Emira

    FWIW, I have EBC yellows on both my Evo VIII and my JCW MINI (both are Brembo setups) and I have found them perfect for what I enjoy: hard mountain driving and local autocross without annoying me to death in traffic. Edit: I used to have EBC greens on an old Integra, and found the bite to be a...

    Emira vs … Miata?

    I have a 2019 ragtop and love it...And it's my sixth Miata and this is only my second Lotus. The Miata is a playful puppy, but Lotus turns up the dial into more serious territory. I plan to keep and enjoy both.

    There's another one in my city that parks quite visibly on a downtown parking lot. He got it about two months ago. The only difference from my spec is that his has the black roof. Lots of folks starting asking me yet again about mine...which is still being built (I have the VIN, but that's all).

    So disappointed with Zinc grey ...

    I would say to stick with the Emira, but give it a good full-body wrap. That allows you to have some PPF benefits as well, and then the next owner can unwrap a fresh Zinc Grey if they prefer.

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    I had the same experience with my Elise. It was a nightmare to remove that tray, and two nightmares to reinstall it. If my Emira ever shows up, I'm sure I will relive the joys all over again.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    That link did not work, and I cannot find their ebay store. I even searched specifically for PCD hubcentric 12mm spacers for Lotus Emira. Any further directions? Their website does not yet list the Emira in the supported models. It does not mention the Evora, either.
