I'm with you! Two weeks ago I had my software updated and lost the drivers display. Went back last Friday to reload it, and still no display. Lotus currently has no answer and mean while, I have no speedo, tach, fuel gauge, etc. Drove in with no issues, drove out with a big problem.

Yes, it,s under waranty. Just strange that I was told I'm the one and only by Lotus US ....and even stranger that the car was flawless until the software was updated. It started only minutes after I drove away. I don't blame the dealer as I was right in the shop with him while he did the...

Build date was February 2024

I went in to the dealer to get software updates for the ECU and infotainment system last week and on my way home, I lost my drivers display. Lotus US asked me to disconnect battery and discharge capacitors to attemp a fix at home. That didn't work, so went back today because dealer, Lotus US...

Did you use any shims, or have any isuue with noise?

Where did you find them at that price?

Do you the jack next to the jack points, then place the stands on the jack points?

I'm interested as well.

I understand and will check with the dealer, but do you know how water intrusion affects the outside air ventilation?

I've had the same issue. Outside temp 60 degrees F, windows up, temp control turned all the way down, and nothing but hot air coming through the vents. My AC works great, but shouldn't need it with 60 degree outside temp.

I received mine as well. Thank you!!!

I don't, but suggest you call Matt. I don't think that they are used. I bought my Emira from him and he's a great guy to deal with and can ship out of state if necessary. I believe he already shipped one to Washington state because the person wasn't getting treated fairly by other dealers.

Emira Owner

I just spoke with him and he said one of them is on the water, one was being delivered tomorrow, and the rest he has. Perhaps it was the automatic that was on the boat. I would give him a call if it's of interest to you and he can fill you in on the details and a complete list of the specs.

PS: Matt is a great guy to deal with! Very fair and honest, and you can't ask for much more than that!

So there isn't any outside air vent at all in the Emira? If so, that would explain the situation I'm experiencing. I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle that didn't.

I've noticed that the air coming through the vents, with air temp at lowest setting and AC off, is MUCH warmer than the outside temp. I prefer the performance without AC and should be able to when the outside temp is in the low 60's using just vents, but can't because it's unbearable.

I considered them......at least temporarily until something becomes available, but the couple I looked at, you have to trim on predetermined section lines and they really didn't look like they would fit very well. Maybe better than nothing though. My Lotus mats are already looking poorly after...

I also did, and no response. Also contacted another company called 3D. No response from them either. Hard to believe that no one has interest in the Emira.

I bought something similar from CTA tools. I purchased an offset filler tube (#7472, $22.95) that is made of aluminum and has an adjustment to tilt and lock the funnel. Not sure if it would fit your kit, but hoping it will solve the interference with the glass issue. I'll be doing the 1k oil...

When I tried it, I used a creeper and was able to get underneath without too much problem. Getting all the bolts out and lowering the pan may be more challenging, but we'll see soon.

That's close to what I'm doing. I already had a Daytona 3 ton low profile jack, and purchased another to lift from the rear jack points simultaneously. I built 2x4 wheel cribs which will give me 10.5 inches under the tires. After lifting the rear, I have more clearance to access the front jack...

I grew up in West Irondequoit. Got a few speeding tickets there too with my Lotus Europa twin cam in the seventies! Small world!

I recognized the lighthouse, and now Shumway marina across the river. Also saw your car on Hard road in Webster about a month ago. I'm sure we'll bump into each other sooner or later. Mine is also Magma. Yours looks fantastic!

May I ask where you're located? That background looks so familiar.

Great pic!!!!

Are the cases still available for order?

Not sure where the wiring harnesses are made, but I know Toyota's had issues with mice because the wire insulation is soy based.....food for mice! A great deterrent is essential peppermint oil. It smells good, and mice hate it, but needs to be replenished monthly. Something to keep in mind for...

It appears they only ship to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland

They only ship to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland

I built basically the same thing, except four, to keep the car level to drain the oil more completely. I had one floor jack and bought another to jack the car up evenly. I started with the rear because the rear jack points are more outboard and easier to get to. Once the cribs were under the...

Sorry to hear you're going through that. I have no use for anyone who can't be fair. We all deserve that!

I agree and will likely do something about it when doing the break in oil change. I may even fabricate new ones. I'll see how cooperative the metal is. I'm pretty you're right....10 years from now, a lot of them may be missing! If Lotus sold just the fin, it would be a 10 minute repair.

The aluminum is very thin. Even a squirrel hit would likely take one of these out!

He's a small dealer and an excellent guy, but unfortunately, I assumed that he put it on a lift. It was apparently impacted in the front of the fin and bent to 90 degrees. It's held by 4 small rivets, which stayed intact, but bent the rest of the fin into a wavy "S" kind of shape. It's supposed...
