Got this from the internet which may help to explain how the car's ECU works in triggering codes for faults. Point 4 below may address your question. Hopefully, you'll find this helpful: "If you delete OBD2 codes and the underlying issue that caused the codes is still present, the check...

Hi KitKat. I was seriously planning on creating a 4 bolt trap panel to facilitate future oil changes, following your idea. However, after watching an Emira oil change video on YouTube, I came to realize that the oil pan and filter are located on the right side (observing from rear-to-front of...

If possible, try to record the ticking sounds close to the source area of the sound (motor, gear shift...) and post it here. Even if no one on this forum can help identify a suspect culprit, that audio would likely be useful to show your Lotus technician , should you decide to have them tackle...

Wow, I checked the bottom of my doors and they don't have that drain cavity. Instead, my doors have a couple of grommet plugs as shown in the picture. I never had the issue of water accumulation in my doors nor have I ever had water draining out when opening the doors which is something I...

Appreciate the feedback. I'm hopping you'll offer all-weather rubber mats sometime in the near future. Personally, I don't like the look of the quilted (diamond) style mats and I associate them more with luxury rather than sports cars but, of course, that's just my opinion. I'm actually...

Yeah, sounds cruel, but to be totally honest, that exact thought crossed my mind when I read the first sentence of his post.

I haven't had that happen to mine, and I'm not sure what the back section of that cover looks like, but maybe a good double sided tape can keep it in place.

Do you make all weather rubber floor mats ?

Great content. I agree with the vast majority of your feedback, with the exception the trunk heat, which I find to get very hot, even within 15 minutes of driving. Then again, you're in Canada where perhaps higher temps are more tolerated than here in south Florida where I am. Many thanks for...

One of those end caps also popped out by itself when I removed the under tray. To find out how they were supposed to be secured back in their spot, I pulled the one on other side myself with hardly any effort. I think the glue used is not strong (at least it wasn't on mine) and, at some point...

Pearl White GT Silver Soul Red Crystal Magma Red To be honest, I wouldn't have generally chosen two cars with fairly similar colors, but I was never so impressed with a car's color as I have been with my MX-5's Soul Red Crystal, so when I first saw the resemblance of the Emira's Magma Red...

Sorry for the late reply. The good news is that they are all tag labelled so you'll be able to distinguish them easily.

Like I said, I don't play these games. Over and out.

Great, are at least the Emira's bolts and screws made in England? Don't even bother Nick, it's just a rhetorical question...

Wow, that's news, to me anyway. Who makes them then?

It's not that the gear ratios change in the transmission, rather it's the shift points that are remapped with the change of drive modes so that each gear is held onto longer in sport and track to maintain optimal torque and higher RPMs which, in turn, trigger opening of valves. But you weren't...

Sorry, I don't play that game. I'm for more on trying to help other members when I can and as well as I can. Likewise, I very much appreciate when others help me. David s was seeking help. Surely, you or someone else, will explain it better to him.

Absolutely, no excuse, no matter where one lives. Btw, it may rain a lot more frequently in Ireland, England and all UK Commonwealth nations, and I personally can attest that it does, but I live in Miami which is in the, so called, Sunshine State. When it rains here, it F@*&%#*^ing pours...

Sorry, but how is what possible? Stay constructive please...

I'd reserve judgement on that if I were you. Just recently posted the following picture and comment below. All kidding aside, my Emira's trunk gets really hot, really fast, so I can't imagine it being too different for everyone else. To make matters worse, I notice that you're a Miami...

where exactly is the ECU located in the Emira?

I suspect you'll find that they're all alike. Yeah, I may have gone a bit overboard on the shrink wrapping and cover stuff, but it was fairly easy and quick thing to do and I made sure that everything could be undone without collateral damage.

Yeah, not so much a lightness pursuit rather, some find the colorful hook sticking out to be attractive or cool. I don't even like the sight of the open hole for the hook in the Emira's lower mesh grill. Goes to show that you really can't argue with tastes when some even think this is cool...

That can't be right. In Lotus' speak, everything starts with an "e", It's likely "Enalogue", the name of their soon-to-be-introduced atomic hydrogen powered Hyper-Ludicrous car.

I've been a member of several other car brand forums and, if there's a commonly debated issue amongst them all, it's the issue of seating. It will always be a contentious one because opinions depend on each person's back condition and general preferences. Some prefer them softer, others...

Is that for tracking?

Agree and, in my opinion, they look much nicer than any after market replacement out there.

This month's competition is over. Please submit your entries for October's contest.

If your Toyota has the V6 3.5L engine, then I'd imagine that they are similar, but the problem is not in the engine or coils themselves, rather it's on their exposure to water seeping through. Presumably your Toyota's engine is well protected from water in front engine bay and hood, while in the...

No, there're no hoses on the drain channel, just holes, but honestly, I don't really think that the main source of water seeping through comes from those holes, since they're farther out on the edges, not in the direction of the coil harnesses. Rather, I think (but could be wrong), that the...

I removed the trunk panels yesterday to gain access to the ignition coil section and also to place some Second Skin Heat Wave Pro as I'm trying to reduce the trunk temperature from reaching 300 degrees (to maybe 250 degrees? :)). Regarding the ignition coils, I found that, the wire harnesses...

I believe most of us appreciate having the feature to switch to different incremental speed bands on the cruise control. However, I think what Aero mentioned in his post as being backwards is that the default should start at 1 mph increments and then subsequently allow us to long press (+ or -)...

Definitely an "Adding Lightness" winner!
