Just FYI - Mothers R3 (race rubber remover) is kind of magic for getting those streaks off as long as they don't sit too long. Even then it works with just a little more effort.

Interesting. Mine locked up at least 5x until I gave up. Those were all wireless. Maybe I should try wired ... ;)

Mine stopped connecting automatically as well. Deleted the connection on my phone (both bluetooth and wifi IIRC) and then re-paired with the car. Auto connect is working agiain (for now). Google maps, however, will lock up the entire infotainment system -- without fail -- after a pretty short...

I would put my money on Telematics module. I just had my Emira in Friday for an update to hopefully fix the "limited telematics" warning with the yellow warning icon illuminated. They flashed the TEM and the issue seems to be gone.

Most of my new cars have had spin-on oil filters, and I never cut them open. Is this just the manufacturing debris being worked out, or is this a problem? Sending a sample to blackstone, but thought I'd ask here as well. Found a small number of metal flakes (~6-8) in the pleats - picture...

I would guess these would weigh the same as the silver ones (just black paint vs silver paint) ? https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/cast-wheels-spec.5270/#post-172105

Is there supposed to be any indication of when the low beam headlights are on? My car just displays the "position lights" symbol (see "8" in attached) in any headlight position switch from "0" to auto. The blue indicatordoes come on with the high beams. Was sort of expecting a change in...

Is that for all inputs (bluetooth, radio, etc)? Listening to the base audio a little more over the last day. It does improve with volume. I just wish it wasn't so front focused.

Interesting. Yes - base audio is also VERY front focused. At least they are consistent ;)

I wouldn't call the base audio very good. One big issue is there is no fader, only L/R balance. The rear speakers are not very present. I've not heard the KEF, but now I'm thinking maybe the upgrade would have been worth it. Might look into some upgrades at some point, but for now I'm...

Weighed my tire/wheel combo today. These are with the Eagle F1 tires. I forgot to verify the offsets while they were off, but the weights are : Front : 51.9 and 51.95 lb. Tire rack says the tires are 24 lbs - so the wheels would be 27.9/27.95. Probably a little less due to TPMS and the...

No - it's a manual. Non first edition obviously since it's a 25.

Took delivery of my 2025 V6/touring yesterday. I know it's a tiny change and the main difference will be the shocks, but the springs are different than above - lettering on them indicates V6 Touring, but are : Touring Front : 60N/mm Touring Rear : 110 N/mm Not sure at what point they made...

Thanks for the write up. Would you (or the other member) be willing to share the STL for that dipstick ?

Detroit free press say it does not affect the tariffs on cars/parts. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2025/04/09/trumps-pause-doesnt-appear-to-impact-25-tariff-on-autos-parts/83012207007/

Knock on wood, it seems I finally have an Emira inbound. Any recommendations for paint correction/PPF/ceramic coating shops?

With my ordered car not built yet, I contacted my dealer about what they had heard. There were a pretty decent number of 2025 Base 6MT cars at port that were available. Now I'm wondering if these were all orphaned cars, or if they were speculative builds. If they were speculative, why...

I would argue the best way to measure this is is simple rotational inertia measurement of just the wheel. That would eliminate the huge amount of variability of the engine, drivetrain, and etc. But it would make decidedly worse youtube/marketing content.

It's not. You can do the math and get real values. For my S5 assuming 5 lbs saved at the most beneficial point on the 19" wheels, it was equiv to 7.5 lbs of non-rotational weight. That was for a 2nd gear pull. First gear with higher rotational acceleration would be larger, third would be...

I've come to dislike the ones that have knurled ends like this. Helps thread it in, but if you happen to be a little off they end up being a decently effective file on the inside of the wheel bolt hole.

500 RPM higher redline at about 290 ft-lbs would do that. 290 is a little below the stock peak torque I think.

Looks like the US site has some specs of the I4 FE vs the V6 base. Can compare features but no pricing and no hint of available options (can only configure the I4). Sort of looks like paint colors, alcantara, wheels, heated seats, KEF, drivers pack, black pack, and the stuff in the design pack...

Yeah, if the contact points don't move you put a lot of side/twisting load into the quickjack. The QJ manual specifically says to make sure that the two lifts are parallel to each other. The pockets you put the lift block into are only 5" wide, so you could make up at most 10" going from...

Probably been there for a while, but the EPA has the Emira in the spreadsheet of data they release : https://www.epa.gov/compliance-and-fuel-economy-data/data-cars-used-testing-fuel-economy I didn't know before today that they include info that allows you to calculate total drag vs speed...

From the warranty booklet : “body panel, glass and trim adjustments may intermittently be required to prevent excessive water ingress, or noise and vibration and so should be considered as routine maintenance. “ LOL - apparently some water ingress is normal, it's only if it becomes excessive...

Any guesses on how large the overall market for North America Emira is going to be? I think there were about 2400 total Evora's in the US right? I know the look and more-daily friendly nature of the emira will grow that market some - but it's in a similar price point. 2x? larger? With...

I'm Dec 2021, so Gator isn't the only dealer with a higher ratio. Water under the bridge, but reminds me of Louts USA's promise to me that it didn't matter which dealer I placed a deposit with. The cars would be built and delivered in the order that the deposit was registered with Lotus.

Sounds like FE2 is still happening? - Post monday saying he just got a FE2 allocation : https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/order-placed-post-your-—final—-spec-here.557/post-112323 Or have they already extended FE2 beyond the original numbers (aka FE3) ?

Did KW make available shock dyno info for these vs the stock options (force vs velocity curves)? Would be interesting to see how different the Sport and Tour are numerically - the spring rates are only 9%/5% stiffer which I would think would be hard to notice for most. The main difference...
