    How could they screw up a key fob so bad?

    Most of us use the leather cover: https://banc-tech.myshopify.com/products/keycover-compatible-with-lotus-emira-key-with-giftbox The other good part about is it protects it when you drop it.

    GRP Short Shifter Install Notes and My thoughts

    It is all perspective, after driving a Renault Bigster in Iceland for the last week, the OEM shifter on the Emira seems extremely short and accurate. That said I was not driving the Bigster fast, but I am pretty sure I couldn't even if I tried. I rarely miss a shift with the Emira OEM shifter...

    Newbie: Considering a switch - 911 to Emira

    I switched about little over a year ago and am happy I did (came from a 2007 911 Turbo). I feel the Emira is much more fun to drive and I love the look/design or the car. Porsche has a great service and dealer network - just very expensive. Lotus dealer support is very lacking - at least...

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

    My concern is they have not been profitable in a long, long time (2017 and was only $2M?). I do not see them becoming profitable in the next few years - at best case. I don't see how they can keep pumping funds into in, what do they believe their big payoff is going to be?

    Drivers Display Issue

    Never heard of that before. Build date might be more helpful then delivery date. With CARB passing on 28 February 2024, a lot of cars were delivered in March/April/May of 2024.

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    Oddly, exactly 1 year today, I changed the oil again - this time at 3,872 miles. Filter clean, magnetic drain plug had only a thin layer of metal power on it. Good for another year.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I have no idea what parts are from US/Canada, but not surprised ,the US/Canada has a massive auto industry and auto parts suppliers.. I highly doubt there is any "doctoring" of the sticker, I would presume the penalty would be massive, that and this sticker is over a year ago - to what purpose...

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    From the manual, the audio system has "vehicle speed compensation". So there has to be speed (or RPM) input.

    Anyone in the VA, MD, DC area with an Emira?

    There is a good chance there will be an Emira or two at Katies Cars & Coffee tomorrow morning. But you have to get up early for it - gets very crowded by 7am. Weather permitting, I plan to go to Hollin Hall Cars & Coffee (Alexandria - Fort Hunt Road) Sunday morning 8-10am, I have DV with tan...

    What to do? 911T plus Base Emira

    I also went through this (deposit on both - Emira and T). The main decision for me was I just enjoyed doing the Lotus so much, much more. I have had numerous 911s in the past, and love the way they just drive, but the Emira was so much more satisfying for me. T negatives for me were the...

    DIY: Floating Console Modification

    If the entire to of the console (all the back and silver of the console) was one piece aluminum, I think it may give it a cool industrial look. Then again it may take away from the shifter mechanicals . Agee, not going to have many takers at that price.
