Hi Greg, As mentioned in an earlier post here, presumably installation instructions will be provided along with the recommended mounting location for the tuner module in the engine bay. When surfing the net, I came across a couple of aftermarket mounts for the JB4 customized for the Supra and...

Hi Folks, I used the color codes mentioned above by @netsinah having researched how Lotus generally codes their speaker wiring. Particularly as it pertains to tweeter wiring, the polarity is not really that important, unless you reverse the polarity on one of the tweeters, but not the other...

If there's any chance of getting a compatible aftermarket kit for the Emira, it would likely have to be a UK-based provider/installer (or maybe a Lotus Dealer) that could get the CAN bus coding from the manufacturer.

These guys offer proximity keyless door lock kits ( https://vaistech.com/dealer-map/ ), but when I called them to inquire, they said that, because their installers don't have access to the CAN bus codes for the Emira (or any other Lotus model for that matter), they wouldn't be able to perform...

I didn't intend this thread to spark a debate of how secure or not a proximity keyless entry is. This inevitably becomes a risk/convenience tradeoff, not dissimilar to other everyday features like, for instance, garage door openers. Imo, there are two (or at least one) inherent theft...

Funny Joisy laws.

There are a few aftermarket Keyless Entry kits offered out there with proximity sensors to unlock doors. This continues to be a feature that I very much miss having on my Emira, and it's the only car in my household without it. Has anyone tried installing such a kit?

Ha ha, nearly?

Hi, I had originally connected mine with a dedicated connection through the firewall directly to the battery, but after @jp129 posted his picture revealing that additional (unused) power source under the fuse box, while I had the panels off for soundproofing, I decided to re-connect it to the...

Weird... I installed my GRP 3rd Cat delete pipe w/o the need of expanding anything, as It fit like a glove. I can't understand the inconsistency of pipe diameter sizes.

Sorry, my bad. Not screws, rather it's a plastic tab that you pull out as shown in the diagram.

Open the console arm rest and you will find a couple of additional screws at the front end. That should do the job.

Not sure chicks like the McLaren more, but I understand light poles actually do.

Being prepared for mod surgery.

So you want sun huh? Come on over to the sunshine state (Florida) where you can fry an egg on that back window pane. And that’s in the winter!

Só did I back when I began this thread, but I still would prefer a solution that looked more OEM.

I get the feeling that I’ll end up having to do the same thing. Coincidentally, what did you get charged? Did you have it done at a reupholstering shop?

I agree. There are quite different levels of difficulties in removing those labels reported here. I suspect that it may have to do with when and how the labels were applied during the Emira’s build as our experiences with their removal (or attempted removal) has been Very different . I had tried...

It’s the same company since Brembo bought AP Racing some 25 years ago. I suppose the reason they maintained the AP Racing branding in some markets was because it was originally a reputable British-based company with an established brand identity there.

Relicate. Black 9040 (unbacked or backed)

Not a bad idea, but actually I’ve been surprised of how the alcantara patch over the stickers makes the visors so unnoticeable.

There are specialized repair shops for that but pricing really depends on the extent of damage and thr location of the shop. I have been lucky so far with the Emira but did have to repair one on my 911 once. Generally, in Florida something like your picture shows would run between $150.00 to...

For sure to both requests. I’m currently in Chile doing a wine tasting tour (tough life), but due to return to Miami early April so I’ll follow up then to coordinate with you.

I bought back then a new 2017 991.2 Carrera S and drove it for 7yrs. Before that I had a Boxster S. I owned the 911 together with the Emira for 9 months and sold it because I found myself always grabbing the Emira’s keys and the 911 just sat there in the garage collecting dust. I agree that the...

From what's been posted here so far, there may be different experiences of noises coming from different sources. The one I experienced sporadically, was a sometimes a lower and others louder poping sound when I opened the driver side door, and it seems to emanate from the OEM subwoofer. I...

I'll send you a private message via this forum with my tel. number.

Cool. I have a second home in Estoril. Going back there for the month of June.

Where in Portugal are you ?

Yes, absolutely.

Charlotte just e-mailed me today to ask if I had any issues with my 10mm spacers from them and I confirmed than none whatsoever, in other words they fit perfectly on my Emira and performance-wise produced no vibration whatsoever at any speed.

Ok. I think I figured out a workable solution and I'll share the result of my trial with you, but will have to be after I return from a 2 week vacation starting this Wednesday.

Did you end up getting this done? I just ordered the GRP intake and I'm about to attempt the top silicone hose conversion to red myself.

I had a similar problem, although it was a smaller spot on my right side lower rocker sill. The PPF installer wasn't happy with his first installation attempt, and when he removed the film, a chip of paint came attached to it and left that white undercoat showing. He had an auto paint...

Hi @Rayjoedef The 10mm ones I had them special ordered directly from the seller in the UK. Check out my August 17, 2024 post on the thread "12mm spacers, seems a bit much on front" where you'll find the order process information I posted back then. Hope this helps.

The only thing I liked was what they did to the interior of both cars 😉.

I'm not sure there's much venting going on there since the liner portion would obstruct it anyway. I did remove those wheel well liners to install my GRP coil over sleeves, and behind them, I found the lower engine bay and rear the suspension section. Admittedly, I didn't focus on what's...

Looking closely to the inside of the ports, you'll notice that behind the upper louvered sections is the rear wheel well liner and not completely open as is the lower section of the port where the tire threads are exposed. I'd also prefer a completely open port, not only for aesthetics, but...

Agreed. I've installed them over 10 months ago when I installed my 12 mm spacers, and no debris issues at all. I also like their discreetness.
