Changed the oil today at 1,124 miles. Used Porter's recommended oil and magnetic drain plug. That oil funnel recommended, works like a charm, it would be really hard without it. Since I have a lift, I also took off the rear diffuser. I was surprised how much sand and dirt where in the two...

Four prototypes made out of walnut. The 2 inch diameter (middle two) felt best to me. A 7/8 inch drill bit for the spring area works fine (about 9/16 deep. I then used a 3/4 inch drill bit about 1/2 inch further and then pressed in a M12x1.5 nut in. I will glue or epoxy the nuts in when I go...

I bought a couple M12X1.5 nuts at Lowes, took the knob off and the nut seemed to be correct.

I kept it simple.

Step 1: complete - mill some wood. OEM Knob is 1 - 3/4 inch diameter I think I want to go 2 inch or 2-1/4 diameter Step 2: Let wood dry out - then plane down

Finished break in.

I believe there is a flat side on the shifter thread that faces forward that the grub screw is going into. So as long as the grub screw is facing the front of the car the height of it is not that critical. I believe it is in the middle of the ball - so 23mm from the top or bottom

Porter, The "attachment" measurements I took of the OEM shifter knob is: Opening of the bottom of the shifter (that goes over the spring)over is 7/8 inch diameter with a depth of 9/16 of an inch. Then the actual "screw portion (nut)" starts after that and is about 3/4inch deep. From on line it...

I played around trying to make this work this evening. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204578288965 I got it to work and liked the way it felt, the larger size felt better to me. The OEM is about 1.5 inch diameter - this one is about a 2 inch diameter. But I did not like the way it attached, so put...

I like it a lot! If you change the lotus badges (wheels, hood, and letters on back) to orange, I think would even look better - very tasteful "bespoke" look in my opinion.

Ugh - I just looked - both tan versions sold out - In just a few hours :(. Please let us know when Tan is available again

I know, BMW, VW, Toyota, Volvo, and Honda all work that way. I thought it was an industry standard or a universal safety standard. I actually prefer it.

Please count me in for a workshop manual, I saw Porters yesterday, really nice. I am US.

My first thought is this is anti Lotus; "add lightness" this is added weight. I have been changing Toyota filters for years and I do not find it any harder or messy than a spin on metal filter. I pass.

From the NOVA "Ship tracker", the 13th number of the VIN would be a "2", all the VINs shown have been "1" which is for manual.

Great seeing six Emira's this past Saturday!

Tan would be awesome - I would order two if they become available.

I have an Atlas 4 post lift, for about 3 years now - love it. Makes my 2 car garage a 3 car garage - and maintenance much easier.

"Morning After" A picture of my Emira at Katie's Cars and Coffee (Great Falls, VA) on 20 April 2024, I picked up the car the day prior from Lotus of DC, it was the first Lotus Emira Lotus of DC delivered (19 April 22024).

I was the first delivery of Lotus of DC on 19 April 2024, Troy (Troy from Facebook) listed a 13 April 2024 date? 2nd delivery from Lotus of DC was 22 April 2024. Lotus of DC received their first 3 Emiras on 16 April. Concern with this request/form is anyone on the internet can post anything...

Nice, I have the exact same!

Thanks for working this, i am very interested.

Thanks, ordered 2

I picked up my Lotus Emira from Lotus of DC this afternoon - Love it! I am going to miss this thread :)
