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.

Post 77 has all the details needed - including the pitch.

Meridian Blue Emira on Wellington Rd (Alexandria, VA - by Hollin Hall) around 2pm today - I was in the DV Emira.

Around 10 Emira at Great Falls, VA this morning.

Post 77 (of this thread) has the dimensions and thread size.

yes , exactly what i meant by speed compensation, point is there is an input.

Lotus: Are you a Diver?

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...

I find it slightly more bass than treble sounding, not particularly loader in touring mode. I did not install a valve controller.

Kind of matches a DV with yellow calipers: https://timex.com/products/marlin-chronograph-tachymeter-40mm-leather-strap-watch-tw2w99100

just lift it up, it pops out.

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

I have experienced lotus owners (non Emira) thinking it was factory.

3/22/2025 Saturday at "The Haven": Two Emira

Three Lotus and a DeLorean this morning, the Blue Evora (past the white Miata) had what looked like a white or "linen colored interior".

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...

There are a few of us in the DMV, but I am not aware of anyone with an Ice Grey interior.

Nice, I have same spec but no privacy glass and sport suspension - enjoy!

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...

I would wait and make the drive, it will be a great memory of taking delivery you will always remember. Keeping RPM under 4k is easy.

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.

Nice! All I received was a marketing email to test drive a new Lotus Emira (even though I took delivery on mine in April 2024). Still waiting on the gift in the mail...

I am not a professional, but they may deter the "casual crook", but I do not think the casual crook would be looking to steal a car that stands out like a Lotus Emira. Unless someone left it unlocked with the key fob it in, but remembered to put the wheel or pedal lock on? I used a pedal lock...

I presumed my Porsche one would work, but just checked, Porsche is 14 X 1.5mm not 12 X 1.5 mm.

A ceramic coating is more than fine to keep swirls to a minimum. I am not a fan of PPF.

I think that equates to about 9k Lotus Emira's in 2024.

Can't be too bad, people are watching and talking about it 3+ years after the video was posted on U Tube.

For what it is worth, I never understood carpet in cars. You do not stand in a car and most people do not drive barefoot. So the benefit of a "soft" surface for your feet are lost. Carpet is hard to clean and wears quickly when compressed and twisted (which is what you do when in a car).

For what it is worth, it looks much easier then opening the frunk of a 911 (996 and 997) with a dead battery. Basically you have to take the front driver side side wheel off, remove the fender inner lining and search for a pull cable. Had to do it on a 997 and 996. Trick was once you do it...

The largest "Universal" rubber floor mats seem to be 1-2 inches narrower than Emira floor mats.

Nice - looks like the filter housing has a drain plug.

Thread is: M12x1.5

I did, see post 117 in this thread: "Four prototypes made out of walnut. The 2 inch diameter (middle two) felt best to me. A 7/8 inch drill bit for the spring area works fine (about 9/16 deep. I then used a 3/4 inch drill bit about 1/2 inch further and then pressed in a M12x1.5 nut in. I will...

Geely owns Volvo and Polestar, so I would presume they would go there for hybrid ideas. Lotus already goes to Volvo for rear view mirror, turn signal and window switches (and I am guessing some electrical components and software) on the Emira. Issue I see with a hybrid Emira is weight and...

Congratulations to @kitkat , with snow falling now, that picture even looks better!

I had to slightly expand the pipe (GRP), completed the 3rd cat delete on Sunday.

The eBay listing includes a clean CARFAX for the car...
