    Visors don't stay up

    Never thought I would be the one to start a thread in the Problems and Issues forum... Today, both of my visors failed. They will not stay up in the upmost position (either this way or that way) and result in reduced visibility. Has anyone else had this issue, and how was it fixed? I have...

    Japan - Emira Test Drives (エミーラ試乗体験) - posts in Japanese

    Information related to test drives in Japan such as availability of drivetrains, suspension configurations, and routes. This thread may seem redundant, as we already have The great big "all the customer test drives" thread, but wanted a place for discussions in Japanese...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Great and not-so-great episodes of taking delivery and ownership in Japan. Try to focus on region-specific topics: discussion about the car itself (electronics, suspension, exterior, etc.) should be directed to the relevant forums...

    2022/10/09 Japan Lotus Day 2022 @Fuji Speedway (富士スピードウェイ)

    Anyone going? An Emira will be on display, but no details on the color or spec. Doesn't say anything about test drives, so don't expect anything more than a photo shoot. 今年の1月のオートサロンで展示されていたプロトタイプとは別の車両とのこと。室内も見ることができるようですが「試乗できる」とはどこにも書いてませんね。 [edit] It seems it will be one of the V6 UK...

    Roll down the rear window?

    Was just thinking what it would be like if we could open the window (the piece of glass behind the seats, not the glass engine bay cover) to hear the noises made by the intake and supercharger or turbo. Is it the same situation in the Evora or other previous Lotus cars? Aftermarket solutions?

    Oil Pan baffles

    Does anyone know if the 2GR-FE in the Emira will have a baffled oil pan? I don't have immediate plans to track it, but am curious as to what feedback from previous models have gone into the design.

    Japan - Who and Where are you? (エミーラ・ユーザー生息分布調査)

    There should be a fair number of Emiras on order in Japan, but I'm guessing not a large representation on this forum due to language and cultural differences. It would be fun to see where forum members are located...
