I'd say you'd need a new one almost ALL the time, judging my what I saw when I took my exhaust apart to do the 3rd cat delete. The OEM gasket was largely destroyed upon removal. Doing a bit of detective work with the Forum, GRP sells the aftermarket Fel-Pro 61473 ring gasket, which is the same...

For anyone looking for a shop manual, there's a "slightly used" one for sale from a US member: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/fs-lots-of-accessories.6669/#post-180881 I didn't think you'd mind me mentioning this Marty since I know you're not making a profit from them and it's one from you...

IMO the Emira steering, if we focus on function and not looks, is its #1 best feature. I had a love-affair a long time ago with a 2005 BMW M3 cabriolet...which handled great on the track due to its 50/50 balance...followed by a love-affair with a 2020 then ++ loaded 2023 C8 Corvette Stingray...

I thought mine worked, regardless of the ambient light conditions. I didn't focus on that so I can't say 100%. If it's bright outside, you'd have trouble seeing it on the ground. There's no "polarity issues" with the Emira: the new puddle lights, like the OEM, work the same way on either side...

I'll chime in and point out that 1 year and one month after purchase, with 10,000 km on the odometer and daily driving it (rain or shine; except the winter months with snow on the ground), I've had zero paint issues, nor any other problems with my Emira V6M. I just signed up for my third track...

You don't have to remove the panel, to replace the OEM puddle lights, as indicated above in this thread. First try disconnecting then re-connecting the new puddle light, to ensure it's connected properly. Then try to activate it several times: close both doors, then open each to see if the...

I'm soon to finally retire from this far too busy 40+ year job...however years ago when I needed an "R&R and stress relief outlet", I got immersed in some hobbies, much to the dismay of my spouse (then children) who weren't seeing enough of me on the home front. But IMO it was that or crack...

Another proud Emira owner; you can tell by the pics. Get ready for lots of attention from admirers. You're at the right spot on the Web: this Forum is chock full of helpful advice. Congrats!

Several Forum members (including myself) have upgraded the KEF audio system. I suspect the same upgrades would work to the base audio system, although another of your postings on this thread mentions having a tweeter in each of the A-pillar's, which is something the KEF system doesn't have...

I posted this elsewhere but it's more appropriately posted on this thread. My detailer installed "Ultafit Evo" for my Emira's protective windshield film, saying it was amongst the best out there right now. I was used to paying ~Can.$200 for windshield protective film on my other sport cars, but...

Oddly enough, for many years, this was THE car that I lusted after, given its simple lines/"sexy curves". Then one day to my shock (some 40 years ago, when I had no money), I was walking in my apartment parkade and saw one (but with a red exterior; my preferred sport car color) parked in a...

I did my first oil change, before the 1,400 miles mentioned by the OP. I always do with any new vehicle and moreso any that are higher performance or that I plan to keep long-term, with the engine being the most important and expensive component of any vehicle and relative to its...

I'm adding to my post above, although I expect I could go on and on and on... Back in the day, I fell in love with a BMW Z8 Roadster and paid many visits to my local dealer, just to look at it. Luciddaydream mentioned above that the rear end of the Emira could be improved. I'm a huge "rear end...

Fun topic; thanks billjax. The Emira is the most beautiful car I've owned, but I'm not up to the 50 sport cars you've had. But there are simply too many beautiful sport cars out there IMO. We're lucky to have distinct tastes/preferences, so this is likely to attract a multitude of different...

FYI, here's an older thread setting out the UK recommended service requirements for the V6 Emira with a standard transmission. You'll see mention of brake fluid and some additional filters, after the first recommended service: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/first-service-price.3958/ Up to...

My Alberta dealer quoted $537 + tax, for the first service, including the oil/filter change: $321 labour and $215.91 parts (plus tax on top). To change the brake fluid for track use: $189 and $45 parts (plus tax on top) and they'd include the track mechanical inspection report as part of all...

You'll be changing the oil and filter on a regular basis and that often happens during any dealer service. You mention Toyota so I'm assuming you have a V6 with the Toyota engine. Here's a Forum thread giving advice on the appropriate V6 oil filter...

Purchased from Amazon, thanks to your advice. Reviews are almost all positive for this product; even taking rubber off w/o damaging PPF. I did see one review about Mothers R3 damaging a Porsche headlight, but that looks to have been the only negative comment and others said it didn't affect...

I’d do the plug then later take it in (on or off the car) to a trusted tire shop, for the patch. I understand it’s more important to patch when tracking the car, but don’t think it worth taking the chance of not patching for regular street driving, which, if you’re like me, could sometimes be...

OP web address takes you to a website requiring your email address (and phone number for 10% off; which is strange...why would they encourage/need a phone number??), then once you input your VIN and email address, you're required to pay about US$20 to supposedly see your Monroney sticker. This...

For A/C, my Emira pushes about the coldest air I've had in any of my recent vehicles, so I've been ++ impressed by it. I'm an "old dog" so fondly remember the days when A/C was Freon-based, and COLD, then around the 90's it changed to a more environmentally-friendly type. That resulted IMO in...

Yup, but kitkat turned down several requests to make/sell them and I don't know anyone with a 3-D printer. Thanks though for the reference. Having said that, it turns out I've got a nephew with a 3-D printer. I've now emailed him to see if this is something he'd tackle. Thanks ADC for your help.

Greg (GRP) has promised to make Emira mudflaps for a long time, but I suspect he's been too distracted with other Emira accessories. I'm hoping that he or someone else, comes up with a good alternative, to give us more selection. I noticed, after 2 track days, my Emira had +++++++ black marks...

Same: none for me. You should have them checked out; especially the "vibrating mirror" which I'd find annoying.

There are several Forum options to choose from, if you want to purchase what others have created, for an Emira phone charger that sits in the slot in front of the gear lever. Below is the silent cilantro option (there's at least one other for sale, made by a different member), which I purchased...

Hard to believe Hethel would end so suddenly, with all the monies poured into the new production upgrades. From a selfish perspective, hopefully Lotus survives in some form, so those of us with an Emira at least have somewhere to turn for warranty work. That said, I echo comments from others...

Welcome to the Forum! You'll find a Forum thread below, which will give you some feedback in answer to your question. There are other related comments that have been made on this Forum, plus this is the subject of several YouTube videos. As with anything, it comes down to preference. On a...

I'm using a Toyota OEM oil filter for my Emira V6 TOYOTA engine. I can't see Lotus successfully defending an engine warranty claim, on the basis that a non-Lotus filter was used, especially when it's the same Toyota filter, and same part number, rebranded as "Lotus". Lotus, like any other...

Eagle 7 gave us one of his usual helpful posts, on the thread below, warning Emira owners that any aftermarket air filter, could void your warranty. FYI and it's the reason I'm waiting until after my warranty expires, before installing the Eventuri system I purchased from GRP. You decide or...

Reading the comments above, is enough for me, so I won't look at the video and potentially provide him with income. The "clickbait" title alone turned me off. I've been really pleased with my Emira (it's been w/o any problems), as have others, so I don't need to hear anyone rant otherwise and...

I ordered gunmetal grey. I’m assuming they’d make your desired finish but best to have them verify. Good luck.

I'm posting 2 photos of my second set of rims: gun metal Aerie V2. I don't think this is 100% what the thread is looking for (it's not "different enough"), however I'll mention that aside from the Emira rims they already sell, Aerie will do custom rims for different styles...just send them a...
