    What OBDII Scanner is Recommended for use with the Emira?

    I've got the Carista device for iphone from using on another car, but I can't detect it when in the Emira. Is there a trick here?

    My Emira has now been fully PPF'd and Ceramic Coated - I love it!

    Are there joins in the ppf, or are they able to use single sheets for each panel? I’be been told by multiple installers it’s not possible to wrap without joins - although they do their best to hide them on edges etc

    Customer Service not answering phones or calling back

    I just had a call back from an email I sent (from a different address to the one on file). In summary, when the old CS team was changed [sacked] to the current company, there was at least 700 unread mails they had to deal with (or not, as the case seemed to be). They now have 2 systems to deal...

    I wouldn't be happy with this. Prefer to see a few miles. Not even rattle tested?

    Customer Service not answering phones or calling back

    I also sent a couple of mails, no response. Then resorted to chat, which got an immediate and helpful response. However, I've now received an email today which ignores all previous communication regarding postponing my build to post-August, informing me my car is ready for delivery - and why did...

    📓 Journals Scoates' Magma Red Emira

    I had a similar issue with an Elise when left outside in the damp under a cover. Water coming from the inside through the porous body material and getting trapped under the paint. Most of the bubbles went away once the body dried out properly, without any lasting damage (only stretched the paint...

    Difference is that the Elise was less than £20k not £80k… Poor

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Finally made my decision to pull the plug on my FE order. Nobody in the family could agree on a colour either! Going to sit tight for a year and consider all options. Anyone want to take my price protected order of Nimbus + Tan?

    BCA no longer doing PDI in Uk

    Good news for all UK orders confirmed yesterday by Oakmere. Cars are coming directly to the dealers from the factory, for the dealer PDI and no longer travelling to BCA Oxford. Finally some common sense.

    Doing a Hethel PDI sounds more sensible, and makes a factory pickup more attractive IMO

    I was told March production, but no further comms re options etc. Odd? Not really I guess!

    Can an Emira owner compare their brakes to mine please?

    That does look a bit odd IMO. I've not seen that on any other cars.

    Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I agree. It looks fantastic in that spec! I changed my mind away from Magma when I saw it at the factory under grey skies... Nimbus over tan for me now.

    Today was my turn to get behind the wheel of Rybrook Birmingham’s Seneca, Sport + Goodyear demonstrator. Car has over 2500 miles, with currently up to 6 drives per day. Dropping down into the seat (and getting out) the car felt really low, but the seating position felt a touch too high when...

    Anyone thinking twice about buying Emira?

    I'm very pleased to have just joined the GRY club. For a back road blast, it's a ridiculous weapon. It has so much go, compact, fairly practical etc. Unless the Elise S1 is going, happy not to have an Emira.

    Video reviews by customers who are not forum members

    Quite a lot of inaccuracies regarding Sport vs Touring Chassis. Mistakenly mentions adaptive suspension and the ability to run Sports Chassis in “Comfort” to dial it back. Also says Touring Chassis is perfect in the twisties but wallows in the straights. Confirms to me that Touring is the UK...

    Hethel Yellow Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Bit far from home today but popped into Galpin Lotus LA to see the production spec Emira. Looks lovely as always but I’d say the seat height is no lower than pre-production spec. 6’4” and wearing a helmet would be a bit of an issue. Seat needed reclining to make it more comfortable but still...
