Oh and for those wrapping get it wrapped in black ppf, not vinyl. PPF wraps last a lot longer, especially since its a roof with the sun hitting it all the time. Vinyls only realistically last a few years and if you don't replace them soon enough they will shred like a sticker instead of...

I think it depends on the color choice of the car and even some of the other options. I think the black roof looks best on the non-metallic shades (Vivid, Zinc, Hethel) Mist and Seneca. With the dark colors it doesn't provide that much contrast and I also don't think it pairs as strongly on the...

I think prices will still drop for a few years. Its a desirable car though and there will be a point where the price is too good to pass up.

Every dealer is still starting high. If you want a good market of what you should be paying check the prices on cars and bids and bring a trailer. A number of Emiras have been sold on those platforms. Dont forget those values are also a little low because the buyer has to pay fees on top so...

The article is really about the engine being sucky for the C63, which it is. I don't think there's much hate for it in the non-hybrid cars more suited for a 4cyl. MB will still have to service these things for years after they stop making them so there will be parts for awhile.

Car is dropped off. They gave me an Evoque loaner. Im not sure it would do very well in the twisties.

I would imagine anyone with money enough for this car can pick up a code reader too. If you pop a code and it has anything to do with the MAF or emissions you best have an OEM filter in the air box when it goes into the dealer. At a minimum make sure its not an oil type they find in there.

How long would something like this last before it hazes over from the sun? would you direct glue the poly similar to the glass or would there be a frame that the poly sits in for a tooled install?

I drove around some more and confirmed a few things. The tick is 100% coming from the shifter, not behind. I cant get it to stop by manipulating the cables. While you can make them click by rotating them hard to either side they dont seem to do that during driving. I think what happens is...

Im crossing my fingers they address my cable tick without blaming my boot and cage removal

the notes for MY2026 have revised transmission tuning for the auto. They may release it to earlier years. Otherwise perhaps VF can start with a 26 tune and flash the good bits to prior years

Ok so I have this issue as well... For me it happens in 5th and 6th and pressuring the shifter to the left does make it go away. I do have the boot and cage delete so Ill try touching the cable end next time i drive it to see if i can confirm that. I also noted it for my service scheduled for...

Im dropping my car off for its break in oil change and to diagnose my ticking in 5th and 6th on Thursday. Not sure when Ill have it back but it wont be by Friday morning. If I can get it Friday afternoon Ill come on Sat but its unlikely if they have to dig for the tick.

Its probably so it can phone home. Everything collects your data now.

Any news on these?

Welcome. I assume the antenna is built into either the front or rear glass.

Please share pictures of this one after. 11 Emiras is a really big group outside of the factory.

I'm not a climate emissions weenie but unless there's some sort of tangible benefit I'm not going to flash out something theoretically stopping pollution. Is there a noticeable difference in how the UK versions drive over the US spec? I just don't think this would prove worth it. Not to mention...

I did the survey. Id like a nice lightweight set of 19s with similar to stock widths. I think that would be nice to maintain handling characteristics while being lighter and taking away some of the oversized wheel look the car has.

I'm intrigued. I've never heard of swapping SC lids but some internet searching indicates its a thing and that it can produce gains.

For the seat plastic to leather rubbing get this trim from Amazon I got the 1/16" version if that doesnt carry through the link. That wraps the plastic and has adhesive so it stays in place. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D12DW5KR

If you are looking for them you can always see seams in ppf. Its impossible not to have them on an Emira. That said my installer did a pretty good job hiding them when possible. he also did a multi piece setup to avoid the big relief cut by the vent. I also had them remove the lettering. im not...

Mine doesn't do that. I don't have satellite view active though. Try switching to the standard view and see if it changes.

Nimbus isn't a flashy color but it is IMO the best color for showing the lines of the car in just about every lighting condition. Here's some shots that a friend sent me of my car this weekend. Nimbus always shows that crisp line at the top of the side intake and always shadows nicely. Plus...

Heres some pics without my ugly mug in the background.

I kind of like this. It uses rubber baffles but it will be easy to swap and at 170 you don't get more expensive than the moroso option until your 5th replacement assuming you cant find the rubber parts by themselves for cheaper.

I'm not swapping out my stock pads or rotors until I wear them out. That said when I replace them I would get these two piece instead of another OEM set. Saving weight is always nice and these seem well reviewed.

If there's not as much water there's more friction to push through. My wipers aren't particularly fond of my ppf on the windshield either. A tip I got which seems to work in a pinch is to spray your washer fluid. The glycol in the washer fluid acts as a lubricant and makes them slide a little...

That's a nice spec. I have most of my cleaning stuff figured but I would like some swivel quick connects on my washers high pressure lines. Perhaps now is the time to get them.

Its probably the fuel pump. DI engines have higher pressure fuel pumps that tick. You could try the old Italian tune up on it though. If its from the valves, some revving could get them seated better.

I just looked it up and that thing is pretty big for slapping on a windshield. I'm surprised they put a 7" screen on something like that. I think your best bet would be to try and position it as high as you can on the passenger side of the rearview mirror. That way you can still reach it but...

I don't know if I should be impressed that the dealer is being thorough or just shocked that it takes so long to get parts from across the country. Whats the courtesy car? If its another Emira have fun and put some miles on it.

Lotus must have done a change to the mirrors prior to the US FEs then. I would suggest running the part number for a 2024/2025 and seeing if its different than a 2023. EDIT: Looks like there may be multiple versions. I looked on Bell and Covill and theres no illustrations for any of this but...

That's a pretty healthy bump in price if thats base pricing.

Its very rhythmic and not quick enough for valves or a fuel pump. If the oil is good Id lean towards some sort of foreign object in there.
