    Do you notice a ticking noise during acceleration?

    Ok so I have this issue as well... For me it happens in 5th and 6th and pressuring the shifter to the left does make it go away. I do have the boot and cage delete so Ill try touching the cable end next time i drive it to see if i can confirm that. I also noted it for my service scheduled for...

    Los Angeles Canyon Meet

    Im dropping my car off for its break in oil change and to diagnose my ticking in 5th and 6th on Thursday. Not sure when Ill have it back but it wont be by Friday morning. If I can get it Friday afternoon Ill come on Sat but its unlikely if they have to dig for the tick.

    Connecting to WiFi. What's the point?

    Its probably so it can phone home. Everything collects your data now.

    Welcome. I assume the antenna is built into either the front or rear glass.

    Emira 3.5L CARB ECM Software removal

    I'm not a climate emissions weenie but unless there's some sort of tangible benefit I'm not going to flash out something theoretically stopping pollution. Is there a noticeable difference in how the UK versions drive over the US spec? I just don't think this would prove worth it. Not to mention...

    Apex Wheels Survey for Emira (and Evora) Owners

    I did the survey. Id like a nice lightweight set of 19s with similar to stock widths. I think that would be nice to maintain handling characteristics while being lighter and taking away some of the oversized wheel look the car has.

    VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

    I'm intrigued. I've never heard of swapping SC lids but some internet searching indicates its a thing and that it can produce gains.

    I truly love this car, but the recurring problems and service hassles are making it hard to enjoy.

    For the seat plastic to leather rubbing get this trim from Amazon I got the 1/16" version if that doesnt carry through the link. That wraps the plastic and has adhesive so it stays in place. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D12DW5KR

    How would you rate this full-body PPF job?

    If you are looking for them you can always see seams in ppf. Its impossible not to have them on an Emira. That said my installer did a pretty good job hiding them when possible. he also did a multi piece setup to avoid the big relief cut by the vent. I also had them remove the lettering. im not...

    Android Auto - Google Maps Not Centered?

    Mine doesn't do that. I don't have satellite view active though. Try switching to the standard view and see if it changes.

    What is so great about Nimbus Gray?

    Nimbus isn't a flashy color but it is IMO the best color for showing the lines of the car in just about every lighting condition. Here's some shots that a friend sent me of my car this weekend. Nimbus always shows that crisp line at the top of the side intake and always shadows nicely. Plus...

    Anyone add a baffle to the OEM oil pan?

    I kind of like this. It uses rubber baffles but it will be easy to swap and at 170 you don't get more expensive than the moroso option until your 5th replacement assuming you cant find the rubber parts by themselves for cheaper.

    FOMO Engaged - Girodisc/Ultradisc

    I'm not swapping out my stock pads or rotors until I wear them out. That said when I replace them I would get these two piece instead of another OEM set. Saving weight is always nice and these seem well reviewed.

    Juddering windscreen wipers

    If there's not as much water there's more friction to push through. My wipers aren't particularly fond of my ppf on the windshield either. A tip I got which seems to work in a pinch is to spray your washer fluid. The glycol in the washer fluid acts as a lubricant and makes them slide a little...

    Obsessed Garage Emira (fitted with GRP parts) Giveaway

    That's a nice spec. I have most of my cleaning stuff figured but I would like some swivel quick connects on my washers high pressure lines. Perhaps now is the time to get them.

    2.0 Turbo Engine & Transmission Noise(s)

    Its probably the fuel pump. DI engines have higher pressure fuel pumps that tick. You could try the old Italian tune up on it though. If its from the valves, some revving could get them seated better.

    Mounting options for Garmin Catalyst

    I just looked it up and that thing is pretty big for slapping on a windshield. I'm surprised they put a 7" screen on something like that. I think your best bet would be to try and position it as high as you can on the passenger side of the rearview mirror. That way you can still reach it but...

    It was only a 2,000 mile service!!

    I don't know if I should be impressed that the dealer is being thorough or just shocked that it takes so long to get parts from across the country. Whats the courtesy car? If its another Emira have fun and put some miles on it.

    Possible to Adjust Door Mirror Position

    Lotus must have done a change to the mirrors prior to the US FEs then. I would suggest running the part number for a 2024/2025 and seeing if its different than a 2023. EDIT: Looks like there may be multiple versions. I looked on Bell and Covill and theres no illustrations for any of this but...

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    That's a pretty healthy bump in price if thats base pricing.

    Engine clacking on startup

    Its very rhythmic and not quick enough for valves or a fuel pump. If the oil is good Id lean towards some sort of foreign object in there.

    Bodywork Protection

    Id just get the whole thing done but I can say that from a quality of life aspect, having anything gloss black wrapped is great for your sanity because you don't get the swirls if they correct them out before placement.

    Possible to Adjust Door Mirror Position

    I'm not sure what the fix is but I did note on an early test drive that the drivers mirror was not able to be moved out enough. That was on a LHD car but still preproduction on manufacturer plates. When I got my 2025, the mirrors can go out plenty. Is your car an early build? They may have...

    No side intake grilles?!

    I think at this point we've worked out that the timeline for the change was that it started with the i4 FEs and continued from there.

    No side intake grilles?!

    Ill try to take a picture of it at home tonight. In the meantime imagine the underside of the hatch and a little rubber seal glued to edge where the water pours off of. It extends it maybe a half inch. It doesn't actually stop water from coming in but rather makes it so it misses the storage...
