Neat! I never realized that the outside rim was an in-set groove. Looks great. Also gives off Integra Type-R vibes to me. Well done!

Based on what I've read, it probably needs a calibration for the valve flap position. Only dealers can do this, but it's fairly easy.

Well, it's the Superman color combo, might have turned some people away, plus silver wheels…

Damn, that's harsh.

Some more ideas, stolen from the Internet. I really want to do something like the orange car. I wonder if some body-colored stripes on the lower front splitter like that helps break up the stretch of black and adds "character".

I think it depends on the car. Some cars with the way their dash and windshield interact, causes glare, which is exacerbated if the camera lens is further away from the windshield.

I was in your predicament... this thread help me decide:

I have the A119 Mini V2. Works really well. All the positives have been mentioned: Small size, easy to detach from the base, etc. I also like it because the lens can rotate and be positioned to aim, plus there is an optional polarized filter for it. The video quality is excellent. I set mine so...

To me, the McLaren is more super car like, more technical and edgy. Meanwhile the Emira is softer and more approachable. Both cars look special but the McLaren definitely has more presence.

Booo, that's the best color. The green is nice too.

That looks like the driver side rear toe link. Edit, my driver side is your passenger side. Lol. This is on the left side of the car when you stand behind it facing the front of the car.

There is a shift plate adjustment. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/diy-v6-manual-1st-2nd-reverse-adjustment-hard-to-get-into-gear.5423/

So... no 2025 MY I4 cars at all? Did they forget to file the emissions paperwork again?

I wonder why that is. What are they building/selling in the mean time?

As far as I know all US dealers use services that help get registration and paperwork done in all 50 states. It's not required by Lotus but is something generally the dealerships do as part of their service for the sale. They need to submit the necessary paperwork for proper titling.

The KEF system for sure has a DSP amplifier. It uses a SigmaDSP ADAU1466 chip. We also know for sure the tweeter has its own amplifier channel as others who have done Audison amp upgrades have mapped these stock amplifier outputs previously.

It's hard to say. Usually the center channel speakers are band limited to play mainly the midrange and lower treble frequencies above 300hz and below 6-8khz. This is the frequency range that mainly anchors the sound stage for vocals and the core of instruments. So if I had to guess, the center...

Very useful information! Do you know which of the two wires is positive and negative?

Four separate wires, one pair for the tweeter and one pair for the midrange. You need to find out the color code of the wires that belong together. If you take one wire from the tweeter and one from the midrange, the amplifier is going to have a bad time.

Tapping the wires keeps the existing drivers working. No worries there.

Amazing. Very envious.

These are given to all current owners or just those who bought a car in a given year?

Speaker drivers are designed to play specific frequency ranges. A 1" tweeter like the Alpine is *TYPICALLY* designed for playing frequencies above 2000-2500Hz. Say "tss" to yourself, that's the frequency it's designed to play. The front speaker of the KEF contains both a midrange and a tweeter...

That actually doesn't look too bad but it's impossible to tell without tearing apart the bumper to examine the frame. Sorry that this happened. It sucks. I install dash cams in all my cars now. The Emira has a USB port right near the rear view camera so it's very easy to do. I strongly...

The 1.5dB drop is just from the resistor. There's a lot more drop caused by the 3.9uF capacitor. If the -3dB point is at 6000Hz, that means at 3000Hz, there is about a -6dB drop, and a -12dB drop by 1500Hz. Frankly, I'm not really sure why there is a 1 Ohm resistor at all. It's possible that...

I think we get a mild bump to 416HP for the I4, but with tons of factory carbon and weight reduction measures.

I found some pictures of the "crossover", as shown below. It's a 3.9uF capacitor and a 1 ohm resistor in line with the tweeter. Rough calculations puts the -3dB point at about 6kHz, plus the 1 ohm resistor reduces the output of the tweeter by about 1.5dB. This in total possibly would explain why...

Sure but the GR Yaris and Corolla tops out at about 300HP in factory form. I would really be surprised to see Toyota go above this figure in a small 2-door RWD sports coupe/convertible since that would start encroaching on the Supra.

I get the feeling the MR2 will be a smaller car, with 300HP or less, mainly a competitor against the MX5, as the MR2 has traditionally been...

We want whatever you've done for the trunk, but for floormats. We want all weather mats with no fuzz. Like this below. You can model the ribs and ridges after the factory carpet. Hopefully you can emboss in an "EMIRA" logo without triggering the wrath of Lotus - but just to be safe, you probably...

Bit of a "what have you done for me lately?" post - when can we expect the floor mats?

Geez, you are right. They booked the revenue and assumed some nominal "warranty" liability.

I don't understand the logic here. Was Lotus hoping that handing the cars as-is to Auto100 would help them avoid dealing with needed warranty work? If they bought back cars, they already have a run-down of what's needed, why don't t hey just have an inside team fix the issues - the cars are...

Yea, it's possible they'll figure out a way to put a Geely hybrid drivetrain in a later version of the Emira. That would be pretty special. It certainly is easier to augment the Emira than to convert, say, the Emeya to add gasoline/cooling systems.

Agree. I get all weather mats immediately after purchasing any new car.

The "honeycomb" texture are so called "3D Mats". They are a new style that's recently been popularized. They actually wear really well and looks better than the molded rubber/vinyl mats after use. This is because they don't show scoff marks or become hazy as they are used. All you have to do is...

Terrible marketing slogan for a mass market product. Yes I know the car is made for a niche set of drivers, but it's still mass marketing instead of say esoteric modern art pieces. If you watch the original marketing video, it starts to make more sense: "The Other." is just how they chose to...
