    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    Facelift for the Emira in '27, eh? I can't be the only one curious as to what that entails.

    Los Angeles Canyon Meet

    From @Kaz's reply it seems like he has way more experience on that front. I haven't even installed my CC rotors yet lol. That's next on my to-do list. My Emira is in for a CEL and I just had the Radium catch can set from GRP installed last week, but when I checked with my OBD2 scanner, it was...

    I am. They've always done a good job addressing any issues I've had with my Emira

    Los Angeles Canyon Meet

    Wish I could join up but I'm also taking my car in for service tomorrow (lol), and I"m not sure I'll get it back by Friday/Saturday. Those going, have fun and stay safe.

    The Heat Soak Problem and Revised Cooling

    As someone who owns a July 2024 build, I hope the upgrades are something we can get as well.

    VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

    We'd also need new engine surround trim pieces as well 😁. Fair enough, that makes sense. I like this design, and generally anything close to the stock look. Personally I'd like the "V6" at the bottom without the word "Supercharged" because I already added it as a separate stick-on piece to my...

    VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

    Any carbon fiber options? I didn't buy any of the existing CF covers because they're just an entire layer over the stock one, and I'd prefer something that leaves the text and lines exposed or in a different color.

    Plastic panel trim on the side of the base of the seat keeps popping off

    Coincidentally, I heard a pop as I was getting out of my car yesterday around that spot too. I ended up sitting back in my seat and trying to feel for broken parts beneath the seat or any structural weaknesses on the left side of the seat, but couldn't find anything noticeable (yet).

    Engine cover bolt spec/where to get

    It should be this I removed one just to help out with the reference, since I'm also missing one. Normally there's 4 on the lower cover and 4 on the upper one. There's no part number stamped on it either.

    How to adjust rear bumper ?

    Just wanted to add a report that mine has the same issue. I just let it slide but I noticed it in the garage Day 1 after driving it home from the dealer. For me it's the driver's side that sticks out a little but the passenger side is perfect.

    FS: Automotive Passion Mud Flaps / Arch Guards

    Selling a full set of the AP mud flaps / arch guards, brand new. These are the ABS gloss plastic version After I bought them I shifted my mod preference to carbon fiber parts, so I ended up buying the CF version too. $95 if you're in SoCal and we can meet in person, $100 shipped.

    FS: PowerFlex Engine Mount Bushing Insert Kit

    Bought this months ago from GRP but I drive a V6 auto so I found out these don't even fit my Emira. Still brand new in box, and these are the yellow Street version. $45 if you live in SoCal and I can deliver it in person, $50 if you live further and I need to ship it. EDIT: Sold!

    Bodywork Protection

    In my experience, I've seen the most scuffs in my PPF in the most obvious area, the front. There's also been some impacts on my mirror covers, and even a rock impact on the front part of my roof that an SUV in front of me kicked up a few months ago. I'd also separately recommend getting...

    LOTUS EMIRA ─ Bumper Skid Plates (Discount for Emira Forum)

    I happened to buy this for my Emira and it's been great. I rarely scrape but there's always the odd driveway entrance that I fall victim to once in a while, and I like having the peace of mind knowing that the bumper didn't take the damage. My PPF guy did a great job installing it too so you...

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Spotted a Seneca Blue leaving South OC (San Clemente) C&C just earlier. I arrived late so the main lot was already blocked off and by the time I walked there you were already leaving. A shame I didn't get to say hi!

    (US Based) what Front and Rear Dash Cams Does Everyone Recommend

    I originally bought a Nextbase 622GW bundle, but my dashcam installer advised against it due to heat concerns. The way the rear cam is angled, I was planning to have it installed on the glass in the engine bay, and it wouldn't be practical installing it behind the rear cabin glass. He ended up...

    Software updates between Apr and May

    I myself got the VDDM update last week when I took my Emira in for repairs, apparently I had all the other stuff done during a previous service visit back in April. The dealer couldn't tell me anything about it and I felt no difference other than slightly smoother shifting (V6 auto) but perhaps...

    Fog lights for front

    The recent unveiling of the Jim Clark Edition gave me the idea that it would be cool to have front fog lights along these edges, for a more angular and aggressive "fang" look over the previously discussed straight horizontal lines. 🤔

    Dry Carbon Fiber Interior Door Panel Cover Trim Stick on

    I'd definitely like a matte version of that. I have the Jogon pieces that cover the chrome above it, running through the bottom of the speaker grille. I feel like this would really compliment the look.

    Engine cover bolt spec/where to get

    Believe it or not, this exact same thing happened to me while swapping to the GRP carbon fiber engine cover. A single bolt wasn't threaded properly from the factory, and the ball end was stuck inside the grommet. When I took the lower cover off, I carefully pulled it with both hands, but it...

    ISO OEM yellow wheel center caps

    I'm honestly not sure 😅. If @silent cilantro wouldn't mind letting me know either here or in DM how much he let his set go for, I wouldn't mind letting it go for the same amount.

    ISO OEM yellow wheel center caps

    If they were sold and anyone else is looking, I also have a set (plus nose badge). Replaced the ones on my Hethel Yellow Emira with black.

    Where do you put your keys

    I also keep mine in my pocket, particularly jacket or button-up shirt pocket. Sometimes I get lazy and just have it in the passenger's seat when I'm driving alone, but I'm making a conscious effort to stop doing that. A couple of times, it's been heavy enough to set off the passenger's side...

    Lotus Emira "Accent Highlight Pack" complete

    Would you mind doing a version of mockups with the full Black Pack? It'd help me visualize if it looks good on my Emira. The YT video did pique my interest so far 🤔

    Another battery tender?

    Has anyone else unexpectedly received another Lotus battery tender lately? I found it extremely strange that my dealer (Galpin) shipped me another one, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I just found it humorous because I only have one car. Guess this means I need to get another Lotus. 😏

    Hitting the steering rack limit

    Very similar to how mine sounds. Mine has more of a metallic ringing to it as well. I had my stock steering wheel changed out for a GRP custom wheel, which also uses an OEM core. I don't think that should make any difference to the sound whatsoever, but I just wanted to mention that just in...

    Hitting the steering rack limit

    Good to hear that it's normal. I've been worried about that too 😅. It's a very loud clonk.

    Would you like custom illuminated seat badges?

    Just bumping this to see if there's been any progress cause I'd really love to buy a set. I currently have the Jogon carbon fiber "EMIRA" stick-ons, and they're nice but I'd replace them with this in a heartbeat.
