    Dash Cam Install tips

    I literally bought seven dash cams until I found the one I wanted. I selected the Anyski 4K and am very happy. Couple reasons I selected this one: -I didn't want a video screen as I see that as a distraction (this one goes black after a user-selected time) -I wanted a very slim version so I...

    Access to engine bay from cabin?

    I am wanting to install a rearview camera on the inside of the rear window. Does anyone know an easy way to get from the cabin to the engine compartment for an 1/8" diameter camera wire?

    Fuse Box Cover/Passenger Footwell Kickplate Removal?

    Heads up peeps, upon investigation the image of the fuse panel is mirrored in the vertical axis, so it can be a bit confusing. I am revising it to match actual install orientation and will post it here when complete. By the way, the whole reason I am doing this is to get switched and...

    Fuse Box Cover/Passenger Footwell Kickplate Removal?

    Finally got it off! That has got to be the worst engineered fuse cover I've ever encountered in my life. There will definitely be some customization before reinstall.

    Fuse Box Cover/Passenger Footwell Kickplate Removal?

    I am pretty mechanically inclined, but cannot figure out how to remove the footwell fuse cover. I've removed the four 1/w4-turn anchors, but cannot figure out how to remove the panel. I've tried pulling the carpet back, lifting, twisting, and on joy. Can anyone share how the heck you get...

    Software Versions - Published vs My Vehicle?

    I have an odd parking brake issue that is supposedly resolved with an update that came out mid-February. I got my car mid-February so wondering if I have it. Anyone know how to check my versions and find out what the current production versions are?

    New Dealership in Boise, Idaho

    Oh man, bummer I missed it. I joined Toybox in Boise on State St, cool place to meet others and work...for those that work from home. How did you find out about the C&C?

    THIS is what Dark Verdant should have been

    Agreed, would have liked my Emira even more with that green. Looks more classic Lotus to me.

    Hey fellow Boisean! I did the same, worked through David at Bellevue. Which Emira do you have? I think there are only three of us in town.

    Dark Verdant Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Took mine up into the mountains last week, forecast called for rain in the morning, instead woke to this. Luckily it all disappeared pretty quickly so had some fun up in mountains. 782 miles on the odo, only 218 to go! The really sad part is that I have a fitted cover and totally forgot to...

    I’m building a fully custom Infotainment UI

    @Sentinel What about if we did an Upwork style campaign, kind of like an Escrow where everyone could put up money, and if enough was raised it made sense for you to proceed, and if not then we get our money back. All the funds would be locked by Upwork, so you're guaranteed to get paid...

    Adding a subwoofer

    For the ones that have already done it...how long to get to the subwoofer? I plan to just replace it with a better one (will make a 3d printed adapter if needed) so I won't be rewiring or adding another one where I need to splice in or anything.

    Rear wheel ports

    I actually have thought the other way. I want to put a grate on the forward side of those vents because I've noticed rocks and dirt end up laying on the gloss black part.

    Improperly Installed Seat Belt?

    Both my seat belts seem as if they were installed 180 degrees out (the strap, not the buckle). When buckling I have to twist it. I was going to pull the lower seat cover off and rotate them 180 degrees, but wondering if this was some weird intentional thing by Lotus. Are others mounted the...

    Adding a subwoofer

    I am actually good with the fronts, once they break in there is a noticeable sound quality improvement. And many forget that the audio source is the biggest factor. Stream from low rez like Pandora and it sounds like crap. Go high rez like Qobuz and Tidal and it is a very different...

    Run-in/Break-in Procedure

    They gave me a bag with that and misc items like the front license plate bracket. I could see the reason for the tender, as the thing runs its fans for at least 10 min after shutdown. However I figure the tender is only needed if it is sitting for a month or so but not sure if I could ever let...

    Threshold Carpet Protector?

    Can you share a link? I would think a floormat would sit too proud on the sill, not to mention look weird.

    Threshold Carpet Protector?

    $2000? That is just stupid. I used to work in mfg including carbon fiber/kevlar. I am going to try my DIY solution as it could be fun. Plan will be a sheet of ABS that is wrapped in matte carbon fiber. If I can make them look legit and not too labor intensive, I figure I could sell them...

    Threshold Carpet Protector?

    I already got the seat side trim strip installed (visible in the photo, link below photo for those that still need it), thank you for the tip! Next item on my list is how to protect the carpet over the threshold. On McLaren they cover it in carbon fiber, so playing with different options. I...

    Run-in/Break-in Procedure

    I just got my i4 and was not given a paper owner's manual, nor advised by my dealer about the proper break-in procedure. I did some digging on Lotus' site and found this in the owner's manual so wanted to share here. The CYA they included about 'downloading engine data' seems a bit odd. Also...
