    US warranty

    Does anyone have updated information from Lotus on the extended Factory warranty? I spoke with a salesperson at my dealer yesterday and they are going to provide a 5-year 60,000 mile and 7-year 70,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty quote. Has anyone purchased one of these in the US?

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I washed the Emira today and spent a good deal of time inspecting the car while drying it. Everything looks pretty good except a few minor PPF touch ups that will be taken care of shortly by my installer. That being said, the trunk lid on my car has been uneven since day one. I didn’t trouble...

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    Yep. For full transparency, I jacked one wheel onto a shorter block first, then the other wheel onto one of these jacks, then went back to the first wheel to replace the shorter block with the second jack. This method felt the easiest and safest. I was concerned that lifting the car fully all at...

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    I included one photo of the Emira on the jacks… you can barely see it under the wheel. These worked very well and I’d highly recommend making some if you have scrap lumber lying around.

    Seats?

    Please keep me in the loop on this. I would be willing to drive to KOP to have this done if you’re happy with the results. My wife is always squirming in her seat and I can tell she finds them very uncomfortable.

    DIY - Oil Change Reference for 2GR-FE

    I had the same experience. My 18 year old had the opportunity to flex his muscles (literally) and separate the cartridge plug and the housing. I couldn’t break it loose. I was about to put it on a vice, but the boy was able to have a moment to brag about all his time spent at the gym (and I now...

    Manual shift not going into 1st, 2nd, reverse

    So sorry to see this. Thank you for sharing your experience with the dealer network. I have the same concerns with the newer dealers. Do they have enough techs? Do the techs have enough experience? Can they complete repairs/service in a timely manner?

    "Take me home, country roads" run. ( Virginia/West Virginia) (Overnighter @ Canaan Resort)

    I cannot attend if June 7-9. Kiddo graduates from high school that weekend. So… I’d prefer the later date.

    Hill Hold?

    I had to search for this thread, but I’m glad I found it. I am experiencing the exact same thing. 2 seconds feels like an eternity when everyone is staring at your “Ferrari“ at the red light. My wife was driving behind me last night and asked me, “what happened at the traffic light?” I can’t...

    "Take me home, country roads" run. ( Virginia/West Virginia) (Overnighter @ Canaan Resort)

    Please keep me posted on the dates. 3 hours to get to start of trip. 3.5 hours home from Canaan Resort… so this could work.

    I’m on Front Street a lot returning from North Harrisburg. Beautiful drive long the Susquehanna… although prone to speed traps!

    I slapped the film on very temporarily. I had no intention of keeping it on for long. I smoothed it over with my hand and it tacked well. Bubbles everwhere... it was comical! That being said, it comes with an applicator squeege/burnisher if you want to take your time and make it look nice.

    TRACK ARMOUR TA6X100-6'' x 100' - Temporary Track Day Paint Protection Clear Adhesive Film for Car https://a.co/d/1KHps5z FYI… this was easy to remove after the drive. I removed part of it yesterday and will remove the remainder tomorrow at the PPF shop.

    With good credit and a family member in the service, the best rate I’ve seen is 4.54% at Navy Federal Credit Union. My friend and I were both successful in getting that rate. The dealer was blown away and couldn’t touch it.

    Lotus Emira Key Fob cases - initial run

    Got mine the day before I picked up the car. What a treat to have in hand at the dealership when I was handed the key fobs. The dealer was really impressed with them. They look awesome and are very nice quality. Thank you again for doing this for our community. So cool!

    Had a fantastic day yesterday! Drove to Lotus of Pittsburgh to pick up my Seneca Blue with my friend. He picked up his Dark Verdant at the same time. We had a great trip home traveling on Route 30 back to Harrisburg (Lots of mountain passes on that drive) and even got to glimpse at the Flight 93...

    Bag World Bespoke bags

    Personally, I would prefer bags without the logo. I would be interested in exploring a custom set with colors to match the logo or the car. Having something neat and tIdy that fit in the spaces of the car would be a fantastic addition to a roadtrip.

    From what I understand, this is a common issue for the cars that were sitting. Brake pads freezing/welding to the rotor and then partially breaking off when unstuck. In fact, my friends DV that we are picking up on Monday had this issue at the dealer and was spotted during Dealer PDI before...

    Welcome to the Mid-A!

    I’m in Harrisburg, PA and look forward to a get together over the summer. I’m picking up my Emira on Monday in Pittsburgh. Seneca Blue with black pack, yellow calipers, non-privacy glass, and DC wheels. Going to a local shop for PPF and ceramic next Wednesday. Should be ready by the end of...

    They’re here! My Seneca Blue car arrived at Lotus of Pittsburgh this morning along with my friend’s DV (parked beside it). My car was on the 4/7 boat and his on the 3/29 boat. I can’t believe I’m finally looking at them. Planning to take delivery sometime next week.

    Lotus Emira Key Fob cases - initial run

    Better yet... Place the first orders on the back of the table in the “warehouse” and wait until said table is full. Then ship the key fobs covers from front to back of table. FILO here we go again.

    Order placed! Any chance you can call Lotus and persuade them deliver my car before my key fob case arrives?

    I spoke with Lotus of Pittsburgh this afternoon and they have only received 2 cars so far. They have not received any word from Lotus NA regarding the others. I’m guessing Baltimore is inundated with PDI work and we are stuck in limbo once again.

    I have a Seneca Blue on order. I always loved the way the MC20 looks and wondered how close the blues were. How did the two colors compare in person? Just curious.

    That stings a little bit. The first 10 minutes in my stock AP1 S2000 always takes some patience. Until the gearbox is warmed up, the shifts are a bit clunky. But after 10 minutes… it’s like a hot knife through butter and a wonderful car to row through the gears. I can see underwhelming between...

    I was #1 at Lotus of Pittsburgh, but that really made no difference after the CARB fiasco. I wrote to Scott about something entirely different and he briefly mentioned that the first two had arrived. At this point the queue is in complete disarray. They arrive when they arrive. The good news is...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I would be furious if I could see all of those seams. I’d rather not have PPF than see that many edges.

    I have news! I just received an email from Lotus of Pittsburgh. They received their first two Emiras yesterday. They were on the 3/29 vessel. Unfortunately, mine was not one of them. I’ll let you know if I hear anything else. Good things are happening! ”When will then be now? Soon! How soon?”
