    Anyone else not like driving passengers in it?

    When I drive the car, its very personal and connected. Kind of like a man on a surfboard, becoming "one" in a zen-like state. And when I take someone in it, I feel its just too jarring and raw for them. Anyone else feel like this?

    Wheel well felt-material doesn't seem screwed in?

    The wheel wells have a felt-like material that appears to be secured with screws. On one of my wheels, though, this material feels a bit loose. When I tried to tighten one of the screws, it just kept turning without catching. Is this a common issue? (Sorry, I was working in a dimly lit condo...

    Is it possible to tint the rear glass?

    Is it possible to tint the rear glass above the engine? I was always opposed to this look but now I think it would look badass. I talked to a tinter and he said no due to the heat. But maybe something could be placed on top of the glass?

    Is it weird I like driving it a lot more than modern 911's?

    I have had a 997,991, and a tuned 992.1 GTS. The 992.1 GTS is a complete beast when its going over 120 or so. But at slow speeds, I hate to say it.. but.. it is.. boring. Honestly, I dont really get the hype on why enthusiasts love modern 911s. I LOVE that brand it will always be near and...

    Different hose for eventuri?

    Sounds weird but one of my favorite parts of the emira is the stock hose thing visible thru the back window. It just has a badass doc brown delorean vibe. I want to get the eventuri but I’d love a similar hose to the stock hose. Any options some day ?

    Does it turn differently than a 911?

    Hi there I am used to driving 911s, and I love the Emira. But I find mine a bit unusual when it comes to turns. I'm no car expert or professional driver, so forgive me. I hope this makes sense: Imagine I am exiting a highway on a cloverleaf. I take a right and I am taking the turn at a...

    How long can a dealership have a car for warranty work?

    Lets imagine your car gets towed to Lotus and they have to fix something big on it... under warranty. How long can they take on repairing the car? Can they hold the car for a month? Multiple months? I couldn't find anything in the warranty PDF.

    Is a custom ECU tune better than a pre-packaged ECU tune?

    Is it ideal to sit low in these cars ?

    Hi there Do most drivers prefer to sit low in these cars ? I prefer to have the seat higher because I feel I have more visibility and I like the feeling of the car “under” me But I am now considering going low if that is the best way to drive these things. Just curious how you guys prefer it.

    Is it weird I wish the steering felt heavier?

    I thought the car would have a heavy, "go-cart" style steering feel to it, due to the hydrolic steering. But at high speeds, it seems almost lighter than a porsche 911. Is there a way to make it feel a bit heavier? I was hoping it would feel what I remember my 997 porsche felt like. But...

    Where is the wheel bolt key / lug nut lock key?

    Hi there I hired a place to powdercoat my wheels. But they cannot find the wheel bolt key. Forgive me as I am new to this -- I am not sure what this even is, but I assume its a tool to unscrew a wheel nut. Someone told me its in the toolkit. Is that where they'll find it? Thanks a ton.
