Naah they tend to escape overnight

I wonder if the gearbox mounting significantly improves shifting quality, the current 1-2 shift at speed is really foxtrot umbrella....

Hi SaudiStig Which short shifter did you get?

oh no 😱

that's probably the adapter Lotus used to attach the transmission to the engine... its not just the Emira, the earlier Lotuses were like this as well. Annoying, but it's not broken, they all do it

when in Tour, cabin is pretty quiet and you can have a conversation. Once the valves are open, the volume in the cabin definitely goes up and listening to the infortainment/ having a conversation will not be ideal

Whatever the underlying mechanical reason, it is definitely ECU related. There was a group which purchased JUBU ECUs a while ago, and while that caused its own problems, one thing that stopped was stalling when cold. It's probably related to some emissions tuning which aftermarket ECUs won't...

I took the below photo, the pins fit into the gray circles. Just use hand pressure at those points.

looks like its not just in the US - dealer here just told me he can only order i4's going forward. Even the configurator only shows the i4 in the video splash screen....

Keep us up to date, once this becomes a seamless replacement of the stock seats this will be a must have upgrade!

Yes, Yes, each of the ECUs is tied to a specific VIN. Maybe they can recode it to suit a different VIN when you plan to sell it?

Some people have had issues with cars not starting smoothly after not being driven for a while. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/cold-start-stalling.2715/post-119779 The latest Lotus software update fixed this for some people.

I'm in whichever timeline gets to 10, not in a rush

Yes, and from what I understand it takes around 15 minutes to swap the ECUs.

I'm in as well

IIRC this is from the adaptor Lotus makes to mate the Aisin diesel transmission with the Toyota engine (which is ordinarily connected to an automatic gearbox). They all make that sound to some degree apparently, it's a feature not a bug!

Last dealer visit / update was in Feb 2024... I don't think it's software related at this point because it would have gone away for everyone once they got the relevant update. Someone on this forum mentioned that there was a recall on certain Toyota fuel pumps, maybe some of us have ones which...

didn't work for me, even after I unplugged the battery for a while. Still either starts rough or stalls the first time I start it. What a strange issue to be facing...

I'll give it a shot tonight, can't hurt

it's started again for me, just as soon as I passed 2500kms... but it's not occasional any more, it's after every cold start. At least in my case it's not software ( l had all the updates), it's not fuel (never changed). Faulty fuel pump not holding pressure perhaps?

Thanks for this post @Kimmax ... I've ordered the same shifter. I thought @GRP installed this on their shop Emira and would have seen this issue?

if you're still taking orders I'm in for two Alcantara with Yellow stitching!

It happened to me once or twice, and always clears when the car is restarted. I agree it looks like a glitch

oddly this issue has stopped occurring for me after the last software update after I took the car in for service... no change with the type of fuel I use.

I would definitely go for the PPF, as others have mentioned the paint isnt the best/thickest, also with PPF you end up having to wash the car much less.... some have blamed various electrical issues on water getting into the electronics...

Took the offspring to a playground, and found my car had made a friend...

It just happened to me today after I held start for 5s. It started smoothly the second time. Maybe the 5s start button press doesn't always prime the fuel pump?

When I got my PPF the guys found several places where the paint was uneven (mostly on the inside of the hood creases, edge of rear spoiler etc). Honestly if not for them sending photos I might not have noticed. They told me they found similar issues in 90% of the non-German exotics they worked...

Just had my first cold near-stall start as well. Ive been parking the same place every day, no rain, plugged in to ctek every day (so it's not the battery). Also my car should have the latest software since I collected it 2 weeks ago. Weird

I realize this voids the warranty, but how easily can A dealer detect an ECU flash?

I remember a Malaysian review of the Emira which said the same thing... see around 6:05

thanks @VL3X! I was lucky, I ordered in March 2023... I think I got one of the US build slots when they delayed US certification.

I'm interested as well

Hi everyone Waiting for my Nimbus v6 FE (manual, touring), hopefully coming in the next 1-2 months.
