    Dash Cam Install tips

    Most of these cameras (like mine) have a voltage sensing function and once the voltage drops below a certain point they automatically power down to prevent running the battery to zero.

    Dash Cam Install tips

    Yes, my apologies as I originally recommended this connector, and I also noticed that it is on after ignition is off, but times out after about 15 min. I also need to pull my footwell apart and move my 'always on' connector. Here is the fuse panel from the manual, but I fixed it as the manual...

    Hawk Pads are Best Upgrade Ever

    You are going to love them so much. I just went on a 50 mile drive yesterday and my wife got tired of me talking about them. The stops are so much smoother and the 90% reduction is dust is amazing.

    Hawk Pads are Best Upgrade Ever

    One of my only pestering complaints of my Emira was the brake pads. Insanely dirty and the worst pads I've ever encountered when trying to do a smooth stop. I finally pulled the trigger and swapped the stock pads for the Hawks about two weeks ago. INSANE! The pedal feel is night and day...

    Boise Toybox Car Show

    For any of the Boiseans on this group, Toybox on State St. is doing a car show on July 19th. I'll have my Emira there and if anyone else wants to register it would be cool to meet you. And everyone is welcome, whether you have a car to display or not. Hope to see all my fellow Idahoans there...

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Ordered both front and rears, arrive tomorrow. Is this a DIY job or do I need to take it to a shop? Done tons of brake jobs, but just on generic vehicles. Anyone have an install doc?

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Kind of funny....you use the coupon code and about $15 off, but then have to pay $14 for shipping because the coupon code cancels free shipping. :)

    Can an Owner Update an Emira OS?

    Yes, but they are not a service center, only a sales center. I confirmed with my salesman that any service requires transport to SEA or SLC.

    Dash Cam Install tips

    By the way, I found out the passenger seat wire is not always-on. It is linked to the timeout circuit, so if you leave the door open or similar the car will power off everything, including the camera. Better to use a true-always on, then the camera will shut off automatically if it sees too...

    Dash Cam Install tips

    Although originally intending to power my camera from the USB, I instead hardwired it so I could have sentry mode. At first this seemed like it would be a PITA, but it only took about two hours to hardwire it directly to the fuse panel. Keep in mind that most cameras will require a separate...

    Can an Owner Update an Emira OS?

    I've had my Emira Turbo since February and I heard there was an update in March that improved the DCT. My closest dealer is about five hours and I would prefer not to transport/drive it that far just for an update, anyone know if there is a traveling tech, or a way to apply updates by the owner?

    I don't see Lotus for a make, what make did you use? Or so you have the PN?

    I4 Emira Turbo/AMG DIY oil changes?

    The car weighs 3200#, so about 800#/wheel. Based on the side of the aluminum crossmember, it is nowhere near the limit of that piece of aluminum.

    I4 Emira Turbo/AMG DIY oil changes?

    And here is the video. Had to super-compress it to be under the max upload size, so I apologize for the graininess.

    I4 Emira Turbo/AMG DIY oil changes?

    Just finished my 1k oil change, so easy! Here are some pics, plan about 90 mins. You don't need to remove the diffusor, the metal panel is slid backwards to remove the front from the dovetail, then forward to slide it out. Great news that I cut my filter apart and only minor, small metal...

    Dash Cam Install tips

    Here are some other pics of the install. By the way, got pulled over last night by a state trooper. Had no idea why he was pulling me over, then he said it was really just an excuse to see the interior (I stopped after the stop line at the previous intersection). Never had that happen in my...

    Debate is On...which brand of oil for the i4?

    I just clicked over 1k miles so doing my first change and planning Mobil as I've always viewed it as a higher quality oil. Here is the one I'm planning as it meets the MB standard (seems fitting for an MB engine), but love other's thoughts. And a recommended filter...

    About 2-3 hrs. But I am really particular, a regular person could probably do it in half that. 😁

    Dash Cam Install via Fuse Panel Power

    Correct. It looks like it is still linked to the time-out circuit (it went dead if I left my door open for too long, but otherwise was always on).

    Access to Engine Bay?

    I want to install a rear camera on the inside of the rear glass. Anyone know an easy way to access the engine compartment from the cabin? I just need an 1/8" hole.

    Dash Cam Install via Fuse Panel Power

    I literally bought seven dash cams until I found the one I wanted. I selected the Anyski 4K and am very happy. Couple reasons I selected this one: -I didn't want a video screen as I see that as a distraction (this one goes black after a user-selected time) -I wanted a very slim version so I...
