I watched the video when they called you - not sure you believed them at first 😜

I'm not familiar with at competition in the UK. What's the format? That's one hell of a win! Congrats.

Mine randomly started after a year. It was also fixed during my annual service by moving the number plate further away from the sensors. Apparently it's a common issue. Not had a single false trigger since.

Still dreaming of the full ECU unlock one day....

Back in my twenties, the TVR Griffith was always the car I desired but could never afford. Thirty years on and I still can’t quite believe I own the Emira.

Really small numbers. On one hand it's such a shame that so many factors conspired against the launch (not all self inflicted). On the other, its quite nice to own such an exclusive model. They are still a rarity on the road. With the end of the first edition, second hand stock and price rises...

I had no idea the materials were so innovative. Lotus should have made more of this in the Emira promo.

Fantastic write up! I have exactly the same spec as you and would love to do exactly the same trip you did. We took my E90 M3 down to Cannes and Monaco 10 years ago and that got quite a bit of attention but I can imagine the Emira is on another level. I literally never used the satnav. You...

This is a surprise. I knew about all the hate for the C63 hybrid unit but I thought the base M139 was considered to be a marvel of engineering? I wonder what this will mean in the long term for parts availability on I4 units...

That's a really slick install and removable is even better. I'm quite short so there's a fair bit of space behind the seat and the lower part of the bench. I wonder if the sub could be mounted down there? That is pretty much dead space for me currently. As I understand it, placement of subs...

Where did you install this, did you post about it in the sub thread? To my ears the stereo sounds quite bright so I would be interested in a sub before tweeters but I don't want to lose the rear space behind the seats.

I know - I've never seen a speaker package that costs as much as the car! Maybe worth a try nevertheless if their hourly rate isn't too high.

You could try Cambridge Car Audio. They've got a huge range of off-the-shelf upgrade packages but, given their familiarity, they might also consider a smaller install.... https://www.cambridgecar.audio/lotus-emira-audio-upgrade-packages

Also, I wonder if the whole carbon craze has peaked. It's been all about carbon add-ons for the past 10 years but I actually prefer the Emira's gloss black. Plus, the weight savings were always negligible for a few strips here and there.

That's a fantastic engine. I had it in my E90 M3 and driving it was always an event. However, it was a really heavy lump and you felt the weight when driving. It doesn't seem like a good match for the Lotus philosophy - albeit, diluted over time. For me, the i4 is the best fit, but then again, I...

Being an ex-Subaru Impreza owner, I approve of this colour combo :)

That's exactly my spec. Where did you get the big one from?

Nice to hear it's finally making it's way over to the UK! Will you both be fitting yourselves? It sounds like the V6 is a lot more straightforward than the I4. I'm hoping there'll be someone offering a fitting service in time as I don't feel confident undertaking it myself from what I've read...

100% my symptoms. Ask for the cups 😋

Same fix sorted mine too.

Mine has behaved fine since I had it installed. There was some uncertainty about which immobilisation method it would be using. In the end it was done with a gearbox lock on my i4 but I'm guessing yours was done via CANBUS?

For anyone worried about any regression from the new updates. I can confirm I had everything applied (UK) last weekend and I had no issues before and still none after.

I think he liked it :) There were a few inaccuracies but I'm prepared to forgive him, given his enthusiasm. Whilst the Emira is not a drag race kind of car, those launches were pretty impressive.

That's a whole world of pain. Agreed, having them working intermittently is worse than being oversensitive. The service centre fixed my problem on Saturday by lowering the number plate slightly. Apparently they can pick up a signature from that. Odd why it's only just started doing it recently...

Yikes! I'm not a fan. Outside or in :sick: Outside they gave it an insect face. Inside it looks like a tart's boudoir.

I checked with my dealership and they said they didn't foresee any issues and they regularly see them installed on other Lotus models. I had the Ghost fitted today. It was fairly straightforward although he did say he needed to make some software tweaks? It's easy to disarm with your chosen...

My RS3 key had that high resolution timing feature and auto sleep after a few mins.... ...so they broke into my house and stole the key instead :rolleyes:

Another me too here. Mine started playing up at the weekend after a year of no issues. It pops up in the display when stopped in traffic now and sometimes after starting up when there's nothing in front at all. The red line on the display goes across the entire front. I am going in for the...

Damn, that's slick. Do you do this for a living?

I spoke to the team at Ghost today and they have a solution for the Emira now that includes a "gearbox lock" which is apparently a bonus feature that should prevent it being rolled onto a low loader etc. I also spoke to trackershop-uk who say they've done several Emira installations across the...

Apparently pros know exactly where the module is and they disconnect it. They had disabled it by the time I realised it had been taken. The appeal of the immobiliser is that they'd have to try and disable it while it's still on the drive so much riskier.

LOL - glad it wasn't just me who was thinking that! No way that would be in my comfort zone. Luckily I'm an hour's drive from TDI.

After the recent theft of our other car I am now considering all options for securing the Emira. Thieves quickly disabled the location services so I'm not interested in a tracker. Ghost and Pandora appear to be the market leaders in high end immobilisation so I was wondering if anyone here has...

Legendary fix 🏆

Nice figures! It looks like the net effect is +40bhp on your base as it shows 360 raising to 400. I guess this is because the underlying map is still locked so it can only work as a delta to that.

This is the text from Lotus on the creaking front suspension problem and fix that I had. I didn't get the symptoms you describe but it does mention a "scraping" noise so it's a possibility.

Yikes, that would have been ugly without the PPF! I'm glad I went for it on mine. A splitter paint repair would have cost a lot more for sure.

I'm interested in both reducing the "grabiness" and the dust. Maybe I'm out of touch with pad prices but it looks like these would come in at nearly £500 for fronts and rears in the UK which seems like a lot to me?

Sounds like it was a quite an impact. So was the paintwork completely saved by the PPF?
