No changes can be made until it shows up for sure. The dealer can absolutely order the correct wheels and add them after/at delivery. Same as the shocks. They just wont do it or eat the costs. The privacy glass they cant change. I'd be calling LotusUSA at least and explaining how they...

For a data point, I bought my Emira and had zero debt (including nice house paid off). I personally don't buy (after learning life lessons) any car unless I can pay cash for it and maintain a good emergency fund. Dont think I'd be comfortable if had your income to mortgage ratio with a car...

At a minimum they should change the wheels to correct spec at no charge. They can also order the sport suspension shocks and swap those out but may not. I would find some similar aftermarket upgrades and ask for that amount off the price if they wont swap the shock setup. They've really...

More than likely I will be going with the Contis on the Emira when the Good Years wear. I chose them over the Michelin 4S on our 911 after really looking at reviews between the two and considering just driving normally almost all the time. I've been super happy with them. Seem quiet too...

I connected my negative tender lead to the lower mounting bracket bolt into the body. Have a good continuity there as well. Have seen it connected to the negative terminal too and should be ok that way with the lows amps current from the battery tender. Either way is fine. I connect my tender...

Wow. 11 months from deposit to delivery. A lot of us were over 30 months.

Its not unattractive or weird. If you like it keep it.

M6x20 outer ones (12) of them M6x40 inner 2. Torque 10 N*m From service manual Hopefully it didnt fall inside the supercharger. :eek: or down in the bay somewhere. Doesnt really give the thread pitch if fine or coarse thread. Can remove another one and take to fastener place to match it.

I also built sets of these. I even have a lift but I dont like having cars (if doing a more lengthy job) up on the lift for more than half day so raise it with the lift, then lower onto the stands. Built them before the lift but still use them.

I wonder if a steamer would work. I've used mine on tint and things but never on alcantara. Not sure how it would handle getting very moist/wet. Probably better remove the visor from the car 1st. Wish they would make these dumb things easier to remove.

Hanging in office but could do garage swag. Used a 20x24 frame (standard size) from Hobby Lobby. Enlarged photo to 11x14 poster print at Walmart. The width of the car should be under the 14" and the exposed height about 8". Have them cut it if necessary. (The lower pane in the frame should be...

Page 217 of full handbook manual. Resetting the Service Reminder – Set the vehicle in ignition mode 1(Convenience), see page . – Press and hold the reset button located on the end of light switch, see page 146. – With the reset button still pressed, start the engine, see page 183. – After 10...

Too bad those panels dont line up as access panels for the oil filter and drain plug. My GR86 had one specifically for the oil plug access. Two bolts to remove to pivot sub panel for access instead of the 20 or so required for the entire panel.

Exactly what I thought it was but good to hear its prob the sub. I've had it from day 1. Happens on every drive at least once or twice it seems. Never when opening the door though. I decided to live it with and accept it as so far only quirk. Not thrilled with the KEF so far as the Bose in our...

I ordered my Emira from Nashville. There was no markup on a new one. Those two listed are indeed used. They dont appear to be 'orphaned'. Looks like someone took delivery and then returned/sold them back. They can ask whatever they want as ridiculous as it may seem.

Some good info scattered through various threads. I did it last year and seemed worthwhile but seemed expensive for what you get compared to other driving schools. I would choose advanced and tailor it to what you want. https://www.emiraforum.com/search/99135/?q=academy&o=date

Havent taken many with the Emira and Z in same shot. Soon

Hadnt planned on replacing anything at least not right away. Originally planned on selling my 240z after a year if Emira wasnt a lemon. Decided that 7 cars were too many to manage and added to the count of trying to keep pristine so traded in my GR86 for a new Tacoma and selling our 24 year...

They do feel a bit different to me also. I have a 9914S and I much prefer the Emira's feel in the steering. The electric steering on the 911 just feels 'synthetic' to me. Its good just not my preference.

I double personalized mine with a sticker I made. I didnt want to make too obvious so replaced "Barber" (its a museum here) with something more appropriate. No one will probably even notice from a distance.

I did mine with the stuff I linked to a few posts up. It was very floppy and thin rubber. Not confident its going to work and stay in place with a few sits and exits. Something more rigid prob work better (like Trackday14s ),

And wouldve gotten your trans fluid emptied/drained for free..and an extra 6 quarts of oil added. ;)

I ordered this from Amazon. Amazon Will see how it fits. No way I need 5 meters of it. Will share some if its good stuff for cheap.

I did check mine. They are black leather/alcantara with about 650miles. There is slight marring (can barely see or photo). I can see how this is an issue with non black leather though. I'm going to do the seal thing just to prevent any actual damage over time. Also checked the inside of the...

Gonna check mine tonight and prob do this anyway. Did you have to put any adhesive inside the C channel seal to make it look that nice? Wonder if there is a similar trim panel and issue on the inside of the seats on the center console side. Not seen of course but could fatigue it.

I'm getting close to my break in oil change and also have never done a 2 piece Toyota filter before. There are lot of 3.5v6 youtube videos. Here is a short generic one that shows the basics. I would clean things better than shown and add a bit of oil to the housing before reinstalling. Reply...

I might have had a brain fart. Now dont think I have a light either in Emira. Might be thinking of ever other car I have with hill hold. There's a light to indicate when its on and holding , then flashing when its going off. Of course lotus wouldnt include such a helpful indication.

For those with an error...Does the light go off indicating hill hold is off and the brake just won't release? Or The light and brake just stay on for longer than 2 secs? Youd think they could just disable the feature completely in software. What i would want.

Also looking for some all weather cabin mats. I just got a generic cut to size one for the trunk. Its not fancy but wont be seen. Too bad Lotus doesnt make some or license them out. Golf tees yes. floor mats no. What i did for trunk...

The way I read the manual the DRL cannot be turned off unfortunately . I wish they could.

Have also heard this and avoid them for this reason. The issue is exaggerated if you get a little too much oil on the filter when you 'service' it.

I wish you could just turn it off. Its working as intended on mine. I have troubles sometimes backing into garage with a small incline. Don't always know if you're at the catch point on the clutch and holding yourself or the car is holding it. It was very unnerving when it releases after 2...
