My Zamp shoes purchased for track use: got 15% off, for Boxing Day. I know I know; too expensive but hey, anything for my feet in my Emira! https://jbspowercentre.com/products/gbkb-rs00100309 US pricing is less: around $65.00 to $75.00/pair (regular price). Aside from black, they come in blue...

Great prices! Low enough to pay ship all the way to Canada, but nothing I need. Good luck with your sale and new AMG. PS: consider specifying the type of carbon for the mirror covers and engine surround.

Nice not to get rain. Congrats on a successful Lotus road trip1

My sincere thanks and public acknowledgement to mr69alb for generously agreeing to purchase then ship to me in Canada, the Emira child electric car, with me covering all costs. My dealer couldn’t get one and none of the UK sellers ship overseas, so my 20 month-old grandson wouldn’t have enjoyed...

The AliExpress Emira door illumination logo is a new addition. Before I solved my difficulty buying it from Taobao due to the language challenge, I contacted the same AliExpress vendor, to ask if they could make the Emira vehicle shape/name logo, sent them a photo of the Taobao one, and pointed...

The Toyota OEM filter works just fine, at least for the V6. Others on the Forum have said the Lotus OEM filter is just a repackaged Toyota filter.

FWIW, my tire shop thought they’d easily get some TPMS sensors for my second set of Emira tires/rims, however discovered otherwise after I supplied the new rims. They called around, and were told Lotus is rather unique. I then followed their recommendation and got them from GRP, which work...

Thanks for the suggestion and for finding a "smooth" candidate. Still looking for something shorter than 5.25" and the one you've ID'd is an inch longer. Maybe someone else will want that size. Or I suppose I use the GRP tool as the "shorter one" and buy the StickyRX pair. That said, it looks...

The GRP "Powerflex" wheel hanger alignment tool, is nice since it doesn't have the "cross-patterned" end that tvs_1320 points out could damage the rim bolt hole. In fact, it has a "rubber" surface, to specifically prevent any such contact damage. The GRP description doesn't mention its length...

FWIW for any Canadian Forum members, my Lotus dealership quoted the following for the "first service" which for the most part, consists of an oil/filter change: Labour $321.00 Parts $215.91 $536.91 total, plus tax, which for me works out to about $564.00 all in. I do my own oil/filter changes...

GRP sells the "Powerflex" brand (one only) for US$32.99 plus tax/ship. That's where I bought mine. The GRP description mentions it being "CNC-machined AISI 303 Stainless Steel, 50% stronger than mild plated steel" and I'd like to think this is a case of "you get what you pay for" to justify the...

Is this "Lotus gift" available only for Emira purchasers in China?

All a matter of taste, when it comes to the outer design. Like Man.v.Cars, I don't see these other vehicles having the same "clean/simple/classic/flowing lines" the Emira does, which attracted me to the Emira. Then perhaps it's unlikely any of them will come out with a manual transmission, which...

This isn't the same as the "usual" undercoating "black goo" I've tried on a grand total of one new vehicle in the past. I hated the burning smell of that substance, which took some time to wear off...likely from contact with the muffler system or other hot engine components. Hopefully this CRC...

Nice! No doubt Hethel and Geely scour this Forum for good ideas and feedback. Expect a call from the Lotus marketing department, with a job offer (lol).

Not that this was a factor in car manufacturers choosing carpet: I notice my dressier leather shoes suffer at the back of the shoe (above the heel) by rubbing on a harder mat surface. Like others, my habit is to immediately swap out the OEM carpet for something that traps the water/mud/grime...

My 2 cents and different point of view: maybe Lotus did well with this slogan. The goal of any advertising is to get someone’s attention and keep people thinking/talking about it. The ambiguity of this slogan does just that, as evidenced by this thread. IMO Lotus is saying the Emira is not...

I don't know about you, but when I see the thread entitled "How bad will the Emira depreciation be?" pop up from time to time on this Forum, I take this and some of the comments in the thread, as being too negative and focused on the short term. I know I know; it's a neutral title so I'm likely...

You can always open the door; even with a dead battery. Page 58 of the manual shows how to access the "emergency key blade" contained in your fob. Page 59 shows how to use that key blade, to manually open the driver side door. Attached are copies of both pages (apologies for their sideways...

I suspect you're OK now Jimothy (welcome to the Forum BTW) and found not only the panel, but also the "pull loop" to manually open the trunk. For anyone else, there are a couple posts on this Forum, giving directions. Should it help someone who comes across this thread, here's part of one I made...

I just went through this with my Mercedes E550: choosing a new engine oil, since I do my own oil/filter changes on all my vehicles. I'll post this in case it helps others. Mercedes has a fluid guide, based upon the type of engine. You can reference it here...

Wow. My thanks to ADC for introducing me to the wonderful world of "leetspeak" or some version of it. I had to look up "leet haxor", then "leetspeak" to understand the post just made. You can tell I'm not a "gamer".

According to the GRP (Greg's Race Parts) website listing (see link below) for one set of forged after-market rims sold by GRP, that will work for the Emira: -the Emira OEM/stock rims weigh in at: Front=25.35 lbs; Rears=29.10 lbs -this particular set of GRP rims weigh in at: Front=20.6 or 22.2...

Sorry but I'll respond in English; due to my non-existent German language skills. The TPMS sensors for the Evora, won't work on the Emira. I say this because GRP (Greg's Race Parts) sells 2 types of TPMS sensors for the Evora (dependant upon which year Evora it is) and a separate TPMS sensor...

Hook it up to a front camera, to record track laps, with some additional track data software built in (lap times, steering wheel turns, braking, acceleration, G-force) and NOW YOU'RE TALKIN' (lol). I just bought a GoPro to record track usage, but having something built in would be ideal...

I'm a Mercedes fan (currently own a 2016 E550; purchased new) but all of my "car nut friends" warned me about the AMG maintenance costs and pointed to that as a reason they don't hold their value. Those costs may become an issue with more mileage. Hopefully not for you, if you plan on keeping it...

Congrats; looks great! Now I know who to call when I need a DIY body repair on my Emira...

Very generous of you. I'll first see what my dealer does for the price and length of time to get. Having a "dealer warranty" would be nice. But yes I'm interested, recognizing the danger of creating a sport car fanatic, at a very young age (lol).

Thanks Raab and congrats on your new wheels. I tried the "Amazon" link you provided, thinking it would connect me to Amazon.com, since you're in the States, however the link wouldn't connect anywhere for me; I get a "site can't be reached" bounce-back. I then searched Amazon.com and couldn't...

Looks good, especially with the "Lotus" as a nice touch. Please provide more photos from different angles, when you've got time.

I'm tempted for my grandson, who'll go nuts over it in about a year, when he's old enough to take it for a ride. A neighbour on my block has a "red Ferrari" and their grandkids are outside in it, every time they visit in the summer months. For anyone else interested, a website search tells me...

Contact the AliExpress seller by “email” on the website, to confirm which logo you want. There look to be other AliExpress sellers asking less money for this same type of “Lotus” logo. My preference however is to get an illuminated logo that has the Emira shape combined with the word “Emira”...

Ouch. OK I’ll bite. I must confess to owning an old pickup truck, as one of my pre-university first vehicles when I had no money. Other than that one, my other 20+ vehicles have all been cars. Back in the day, my Ontario university friends couldn’t understand why me and many other so-called...

I’m in the same boat with a 3 hour one-way drive to my Lotus dealer, and I’m planning my first return trip this coming summer. A few thoughts: 1. Get a good OBD II scanner for some DIY diagnostics and code clearing. Not hard to use one. This Forum has several threads about these scanners. 2...

BIG congrats! Sometimes the planets align, usually when you’re not expecting it. Welcome to the Emira family!

This outlines issues for C8 Z06 owners but the point about both cars having their new-car issues, is well made. I don’t remember these issues with the C8 Stingray and I owned the inaugural 2020 year and later, a 2023. The Z06 is a big step-up with its brand new engine in particular, and other...

FWIW and in case this helps someone else, since the OP no longer needs any, my Lotus dealer told me the following power steering fluid would be acceptable for the Emira, when I couldn't source out the OEM recommended type: "Red Line D4 ATF (to meet the Dexron III H spec for Lotus)" That...

Ouch! A few thoughts: 1. really sorry to hear of your troubles 2. consider having the Lotus dealer not only list the problems with the vehicle, but indicate on paper, how obvious those problems would have been and for how long, to better tag the seller with knowledge of them 3. see if the Lotus...

I had a "cylinder 6 misfire"on my Mercedes which turned out to be a defective #6 ignition coil, fixed after replacement. I'm assuming you didn't recently wash your Emira, with the colder weather you had, so it's not a moisture intrusion problem. Perhaps a loose #2 ignition coil connection? Maybe...
