Cars and coffee Morrisville, NC is Saturday 8/1/25 -- weather looks mint!

I had an oil leak on my Emira, went the route you did with calling the 200 mile away dealer, who said yeah we cant get to that for a few weeks, the car will sit outside in the lot -- they sent a flatbed -- when the flatbed showed up, I sent it away without my car -- I fixed the oil leak myself...

Whatever gear makes the exhaust note sound best is always the best answer :)

That's pretty small width tape! I was originally going to do 1/4" but felt it didn't give enough bang, 1/2" seems like the sweet spot on the skirts IMO.

I'm not interested in doing that - I think it would be take away from the car by adding too much.

Perhaps an I4 issue?, I didn't realize we were talking different engines - I have the V6 (man), like most early buyers.

If you plan to PPF the car, remove the factory bit first -- It's so much cleaner. I didn't care for the way they did it either, but I knew I was taking it off anyway.

I think this 'stay away from Milltech version..." is a bit blown out of proportion?? I suppose I have version 1, the not so recently released one --- it stays in the 'open all the time' mode 100% of the time. Is the problem folks cycling the thing too much? I litterally operated my Milletch...

Initial report -- like others have mentioned before, these cermic pads provide excellent feedback and a progressive feel from first grab onward, I can absolutely say this was an improvement over the stock pads. I've driven about 60 miles so far and have had zero noise, even during the first...

Look closer, there's a big towel underneath it ;)

I'm nearing 5K miles on my '24 Emira and just installed my Hawk ceramic pads. Serious kudos to AP Racing for the most excellent caliper design ever -- 100% easiest pad change I've ever done! I had to remove the shims from the Hawk rears, they were just not going to go in without a fight -- we'll...

I used this Vinyl tape , I also purchased another brand to compare color Here. So far I like the first one but they're not much different. This is DYI, 6 mins per side in the garage. Pic from yesterday outside from a distance -- I think it's a winner.

Yes there is reflection during the day, however if you wear polarized glasses it's non existent.

I'm wondering -- I see the newer Emira's have an intake screen whereas the 2024 models do not (it's an open hole to the intake tube). Is just the screen an option? Was this a design flaw Lotus corrected? Is mine simply missing??!

1/2 yellow vinyl tape -- same tape I have on my upper dash and steering wheel.

5k miles on my 2024 V6 man - mine has done this for a while, at different times. I always assumed it was fuel pressure and ambient temp related -- it never fails to start, but seems odd from all prior vehicles I've had. Overall it doesn't appear to be an issue to worry about is my current...

Amazing! I grabbed a set for $303.81 shipped -- almost the cost of a front set at some other sites. Thank you!

Link ? I'm not seeing the prices you found, thx

I was watching this Bugatti video which was exlaining design of the car -- some of which are quite similar to the Lotus Emira, I learned a few things! Check it out. Video

Let's grab that thread chase AKA as a punch -- sound shop advice right there! Good video for the steps needed though, thanks!

My full PPF included all painted surfaces. Ialso did the black lower side sills and mirror caps (why would you ppf a mirror lens on the opposite side of airflow?) You can opt to put ppf on anything you want, but I had no desire to do headlights or any other lens. Regarding seeing an edge -- if...

I am djprov :) however haven't received any communication from you since providing my contact some time ago (3-4 months?)

I think I was the only Lotus - great day for it and not overcrowded as it typically is.

Where and when on the smaller event? -- I agree the Morrisville C&C is a bit much, I only go every few months.

Helios Detail & PPF -- For C&C it's Morrisville, NC of course!
