    That is a very cool finish. And the concavity in the rear is very nice.

    Radio Silence

    I purchased my car at that dealer and would not recommend them from an acquisition perspective. I did however bring the car for service a few months back and that went smoothly. I'd find another dealer if I purchase another Lotus.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Just an aside. That fuse box cover is not white. It has just not had the white protective film removed. I removed mine when I had it apart to install sound deadening. I also removed some other films that were left on during the assembly process on other areas.

    Midlife CARisis Gets a V6M

    Depending on which short shift kit is installed you are likely missing the OEM part. An adjustment to the cables may correct the issue you are having. Also, there may be multiple settings on the short shift kit. You would want to investigate that also. If you can provide a picture of the part at...

    Slight right pull under acceleration

    When I was breaking in my car, I would take it on the highway and do some pretty decent pulls to load the engine and then let it reduce speed in gear to help the pistons seat, etc. On acceleration, I would feel an odd sensation of the car trying to veer. I think now it may be a characteristic of...

    Shift Knob Replacement

    I feel your pain, these things are indeed hard to come by. My advice is to order (and pay for) the shift knob if you have not done that. Thats what I did and even though it was a long wait they eventually fulfilled the order. I'm not sure who makes these knobs for Lotus, but I am sure it's a...

    Shift Knob Replacement

    I finally received the wooden shift knob from Lotus in the UK that I ordered last December. I was not sure I would get it. It got stuck here in Chicago customs for several weeks. I like it a lot. $342 delivered from SJ Sportscars Limited. I worked with a great guy named Chris there. He stayed on...

    Can’t connect CarPlay and Bluetooth at the same time

    This does not work, you can't connect to Bluetooth separately than CarPlay. Carplay uses Bluetooth. It's confusing. Long press on the voice icon will access the CarPlay commands. Took me a while to learn that one.

    Custom wheel pictures

    Is that Matte Gunmetal? Do you think that Aerie would be able to do a PVD Black Chrome finish. I am having a very hard time with a great wheel color for Nimbus. I've always been a huge fan of BBS FI-R wheels. They look great.

    New Everyday Driver video - 1 year of ownership, and v6 compared to i4

    Very good video, they brought out some key differences that go beyond just the engine choice. They make a lot of sense. Only thing I can think that would make it better would have been if they were both on the same suspension setup.

    Emira 3.5L CARB ECM Software removal

    Obviously, it would be nice to know what was added/changed to the software to make the Emira Carb compliant. My thought was, it would just be good to have the software as it was designed originally. To do this properly, I'm sure it would require that Lotus make the changes and have them support...

    Anyone with HRE's?

    I like the concept of trying to replicate the wheels in that Lotus drawing. I wonder though if they would/could have the same look based on how they need to fit. Of the wheels you have pictured, I think the Vossen wheels are closer, however the spokes of the wheels in the drawing are wider...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Oil change, and Transmission fluid change at my local Indy. Amsoil Signature Series and Redline GL4. $437 total labor with tax, $165 for oil $240 for Transmission. I supplied the products. I feel the shift is smoother now but need to drive it some more. Dealer wanted $675 for an oil change...

    VF Tuner for the Lotus Emira

    Thanks for the announcement, this looks very encouraging. I did look at your website and Facebook. I'm not quite sure though what you will be offering. I understand (I think) that you will be providing a tune that will be overlaying the factory ECU tune, but for those that are unfamiliar with...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    This would be the main reason that I would install the OBD connection. I don't think we know for certain whether installing it would enable an enhanced real-time tune adjustment based on variables that it gathers from the OBD2 information.

    Software updates between Apr and May

    I just had the first service completed, all warranty work. They did the A/C fix and a campaign to address water in the charcoal canister where they take it apart and cut the hose to 75MM. No water was found in my canister. They wanted $675 for an oil change, pass. They also made 7 (maybe 8)...

    DIY: V6 Manual 1st, 2nd & Reverse Adjustment - Hard To Get Into Gear

    Just a heads up if you did not see it. There is a small clip that is used to attach the wiring from the start button switch to the shift rod. I'm assuming to keep the wire out of the way of the movement of the shift rods. It is not obvious. You may have unclipped it when you pulled the center...

    Emira 3.5L CARB ECM Software removal

    So, I was reviewing some information on the NTHSB site as I have brought my Emira into the dealer for some updates and just wanted to check if there was anything there, I should inquire about be done, which there really wasn't. I did find the document below that Lotus had created that...

    Shift Knob Replacement

    I've had a wooden shift knob from the Evora special edition on order for about 6 months now from a UK based dealer. Had an update this week that one may be available. I also forwarded the pictures of that new one from the Clark car and the parts place thought they may be able to get one, so they...

    DIY: V6 Burger Motorsports JB4 Installation

    Thanks KitKat. My understanding (could be wrong) is that if you have the OBD2 connection installed that the system would/could automatically adjust the tune in real time which I think would be a cool feature. From what you say, you would need to send logs back to Burger for them to make...

    DIY: V6 Burger Motorsports JB4 Installation

    Is that wireless kit only used to connect the JB4 to the phone App? If you purchase the wireless connectivity kit, do you still need to install the OBD2 cable to access that real time feed? If so, it would be nice if there was a Bluetooth dongle that could connect the JB4 to the Emira OBD2 port.

    📓 Journals kitkat's Emira

    I think the wheels look nice, I had HRE P101's on a prior car and like them a lot. I had HRE make the rears extra concave. These look similar. I've always wanted BBS FIR rims but have not seen a color on Nimbus that I absolutely love yet.

    You know, I tried several car options, and I believe that the Seat brand may have showed the best information. That model you chose appears to be an EV of some type. It still may have some of the same software though of an ICE car. I would think that if we can confirm which underlying brand...

    Cars are annoyingly loud lately. Is the Emira (3rd cat delete) too?

    I live in a high rise and hear everything on the roads below. I can't believe just how terrible some exhausts sound, particularly on motorcycles, just loud and sound like crap. This is simple though, there are just good and bad sounding exhaust systems on cars and motorcycles. There are also...
