    Rear wheel ports

    Revuelto also has this open rear wheel arch design. Seems to be a Lambo design language now.

    Manual Transmission Fluid Change

    I'm wondering the same. Couldn't find any resources on the forum but I found a video showing the transmission oil change on an Evora. Not sure if it's the same for Emira. Evora Transmission Fluid Change

    New Lotus Owner - Letter Change in Rear

    Meridian Blue should be the rarest color. I haven't seen one even at the dealership.

    Emira track impressions

    Thanks for sharing. I'm planning to take my Emira (sport with cup2s) to the track soon. I'm a track novice so won't be pushing it too hard. Would you still recommend replacing the pads and brake fluids before heading to the track?

    Driving gloves?

    I bought sparco hypergrip+ and they have greatly improved the driving experience. Super grippy on alcantara steering wheel. While the steering and shifting are great, they do require a bit too much effort than my liking (I have also installed short shifter). The gloves can relieve the pressure...

    Gold or bronze wheels on Dark Verdant Green Emira

    I don't like black wheels but they look good with the spec

    Full width front grill

    Unfortunately Lotus doesn't have an ICE powertrain that suits the million-dollar price tag. If they could source an AMG V12 like Pagani that would be awesome.

    How is the V6 Manual doing on the used US market these days?

    Not a fan of the nimbus over red spec either

    OE tuning for Lotus emira

    Same here. 7200 rpm red line is all I need. OE tuning doesn't even show a dyno

    Altura vs Emira (Just the looks)

    I don't know if anybody has noticed this, but I just realized the side profile of the McLaren Altura is very similar to the Emira, especially the side air intake. What do you guys think? Just a coincidence? :unsure:

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    I fitted a GRP short shifter on my car and the ticking noise went away. Not a definitive solution but it's accidentally a fix. :unsure: My dealer couldn't provide me with a solution as the claim they submitted to Lotus was never heard back.

    How good will the Emira's gain in value be?

    My previous 2 cars gained value over my ownership. 2008 Evo X bought in 2015 for $23k and sold in 2023 for $28k. 2023 Supra 3.0 MT bought for $57k MSRP and traded in for $61k. The actual gain is less because of the mods, restorations, taxes and fees. I doubt my Emira can gain any value over...

    Test Drive Lotus Emira: The Final Redemption of the Petrol Era! Mountain Road Test Drive Insights

    I can't agree more since I moved from a manual GR Supra to a manual Emira. Supra is an awesome sports car and in many ways even better than the Emira. But I loved the way the Emira drives much more than the Supra.

    DIY: V6 Manual 1st, 2nd & Reverse Adjustment - Hard To Get Into Gear

    After installing the GRP short shifter, I found it harder to get into 1st and 2nd gear. It wasn't a problem before the install. Does anyone else experience the same? I will try the adjustment to see if it helps.

    Punchy and Loud

    I just installed the VC yesterday while doing an oil change. No decat pipe thou as I don't have a pipe expander ready. It was indeed very difficult to secure the VC in the recessed box.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I didn't take a photo of the light. Here is a picture from the product description page.

    Thanks! Sounds like I need to have the pipe expander ready before the installation.

    My 3rd cat delete pipe and VC are still sitting in the garage waiting for installation. How did your installation go? Do you need to expand the pipe?

    New cars include prewired charger plug

    Mine didn't came with a charger and the dealer supplied it later during a service visit. I guess the dealership pre-wired the kit during PDI?

    The matte ppf goes very well with Seneca Blue. It also appears to be lighter than gloss finish. Very nice spec! Congrats!

    Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

    Just hooked up the Lotus supplied battery tender. I connected the eyelets to the battery nuts, and Dremelled a little cutout on the battery cover to run the wire. I didn't fully close the trunk just to be easy on the trunk rubber seal.

    GRP Short Shift Kit

    I had mine done a couple of days ago. It's a fairly simple and straight forward installation process with simple hand tools required. You should be able to do it yourself in about 1 hr.

    GRP Short Shifter Install Notes and My thoughts

    Yeah that was nice but it also required a bit more effort to shift into gear. I wish the resistance could stay the same.

    GRP Short Shifter Install Notes and My thoughts

    Just installed the short shifter a couple of days ago. It was a pretty straight forward process, but I also need to Dremel the aluminum connector part off a little for it to seat properly. I played around with the shifter cable length and adjusted the neutral position slightly forward to my...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    In the short term, C8 Z06 maybe. Not a fan of the styling but LT6 sounds sooooo good. No manuals. :( Or a manual GT3 depending on the budget. Can't really think of others. Vantage or AMG GT? But no manuals either.

    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    I had a couple of trips to the dealership for this issue. They have identified rattling noise from the shifter cable in gear 2, 5 and 6 under throttle. But they don't know how to fix this. They sent the claim details and video recording to Lotus HQ but never heard back. It has been several...
