I really couldnt care less about 0-60 times, within reason. Sub 5secs is more than enough. After that, I just want power/torque is the areas I need it for real world driving. An improvement in the 30-50, 40-60, 50-70 zones/times would be of far more interest to me

Washed it Saturday (I mention this every time I do, as I hate doing it) Then went for a 350mile drive Sunday. Turns out I should not have bothered washing it, as its now as dirty as it was before I washed it. The 350 miles were at times great, at other frustrating as hell. Why do idiots insist...

I4 owner with about 5K on the clock. Not had this at all. I would recommend getting it to the dealer soonest. Sounds as though its something that could catch you out at any time.

$8K !!! Sod that. I'd spend it on driver training and get a lot quicker that way

Todays happy partners, could be tomorrows divorcees. Dont be surprised if what was said between Trump & Starmer on Thursday, is competely the opposite to whats being said next week, once they arent in the same office

Personally if I was upgrading the shocks, I'd go for whichever ones allowed for the lift option, to get over annoying speed bumps/kerbs

Try the UK. We rampage through supermarkets if it gets too hot, then do the same if there is even a hint of snow in the winter Our railways grind to halt in the heat because the rails warp and in the autumn because there are leaves on the line(I jest not) If there is one country worse than the...

My 14yr old Kia Sportage has it and its a manual. Its OK'ish. Sometimes doesnt engage when you expect it to and other times doesnt release when it should, although its never held for too long, just a second. My I4 definitely has it

That looks beautiful. I'd have been so tempted to go for black callipers and black badges, but the yellow works so well

Couple of Qs Where is the power lead? Do you find that the phones moves too much to stay in the right place to charge all the time?

I've seen/heard a number of these in Elises/Exiges and they are a significant improvement. If anyone does this in the Emira, would love to know how much of a difference they make

If you are up to date on the s/w updates, then you have the gearbox update Talking to the dealer I used, they are legally obliged to upload all updates that the manufacturer releases, so if you have one missing you take legal action. No idea what that would entail, but in reality it means the...

I doubt any company will be in a position to take the 25% hit themselves. Some of the bigger companies make take part of it, but I think that would be very few. Inflation in the US is going to go through the roof if these tariffs are actually imposed

Thats deepfake, cant be his car, has far too many seats

Not watched either video, at work and they frown on that sort of thing :) However if all they are using is the car Speedo, then the chances of that being 100% accurate are almost zero. By the time you get above 100mph, most speedo's have an error factor of at least +/- 5% and over 150mph its...

If I was in your position, I'd drive to Hethel and tell them I wasnt leaving until someone in authority saw me

I dont think yours counts. Thats not maintenance, thats a rebuild

Gotta love dealers. They told me only option was to go to them to get it reset. They also told me the same when drivers side window kept opening. Turned out that was wrong too

I had this pop up on my car after it was 8 months old. Only solution I could determine, was to take it to the Dealer and have them reset it. I argued it was a warranty issue, as it was only 8 months old had only 3000 miles on the clock, so the reminder had to be an error

Have you replaced the battery? Mine reported low battery this weekend and started acting up soon after. Thankfully I has a replacement battery with me, as I'd seen the low battery warning Surprised the issues started so soon after the warning. I'd have expected at least a weeks grace period.

No way that is legal in the UK. The warranty will be what was offered at the time of purchase. They cannot change the warranty duration or what it covers at a later date.

Ironically did a 150mile trip on Saturday, all Motorway driving, bar about 10miles of it, got 44.6mpg for the whole journey Thats imperial gallons :)

Is there supposed to be a car under that lot?

"I've now got an Emira" might be stretching it a bit :D .................. Sorry couldnt resist. Any more updates on yours?

Mine wont go into 8th unless I am in touring, doing about 72mph and on a level road. Once in 8th, it will stay there unless the speed drops below approx 65mph on level road

Knowing Lotus, if you only asked about the shroud, they will only respond about the shroud. I would suggest asking about both the shroud and the sealing of the fuse box. Otherwise you may not get all the info you need

Yikes !!! I'd have expected a Lotus of some description

Have they provided a courtesy car during all this? If so what?

Last seen 6th Feb 2025

Seat trim strip? Pray tell more

I like the idea of the Union Jacks, but would want them Red/White/Blue, not just Red & Blue as the above options. Always liked the Union Jacks on the ends of the Elise spoiler too

I spoke to Lotus when I bought mine from Auto100. All they would confirm was it was an ex-Lotus owned vehicle, nothing more Auto100 claimed it was an ex-Managers car, but from what I have heard they tell everyone one that, about every Emira they have

Could you ask if they'll cover UK cars :)

Damn, that Orange looks amazing........... must resist

Sounds like your experience was a lot better than mine. Whilst I have only very minor issues with the car, the service from Auto100 was pretty poor. Mine only came with the 1 key, although they did pay for me to source the 2nd key from a Lotus Dealer. Unfortunately I didnt price in the cost of...

Best location......... about 100m in front of you :) Sorry couldnt resist. A serious Q. Why are Radar detectors so popular in the US? In the UK and I think most of Europe, they use Laser traps, which have do little scatter that detectors are pretty pointless i.e. By the time you have detected...

Me too, except a black car. I like the Bat Mobile look

A correction on my part, its not the Tyre Pressure option, its the G-Metre, then scroll to the far left.

Well amazingly Hendy Eastleigh saw the car this afternoon. Found nothing, but did whatever they did, to reset the software, so hopefully fixed whatever the underlying issue was Annoyingly, I checked that the issue persisted before I left for Hendys(it did). Got there, got out of the car, closed...

Any issues with customs? How much were the taxes, import fees, admin fees?
