Ok... did my 1st oil at 950 miles.... the oil was almost new.... not dark even at all.... I decided not to put in the ceramic moly...cause I don't think the engine is quite broken in even...lol...
I did put a magnet drain plug tho....
Right... but recently I don't see that and some thing that looks like attach files says input URL.... I ll check again but....
Wait, nvm..I see it now...lol... tnx
Oooh...sounds interesting.... have cerakoted firearms.... good stuff...
Am thinking maybe putting a clear enamel on top of the coloring.... just to fill in the depression, that way less to fill up with dirt n grime , less need to reapply, etc...
Ok.... so, in practicality, if I let it sit for about 30 min or so, I wander what most people are putting back in for adequate refill ? 6 "quarts" should be good enough/ sufficient ?
Ok... uh....these panels...I didn't see any screws or plastic grommets... how do you remove the front panel ? What motion to remove them ? The side narrow inserts can stay in ?
Yah, I looked there and was like.... how TF am I gonna get in there....😆
Also. What is the refill amount...
One more thing... my interior is black leather but they just used white stitching.... they never gave me option of using different colored stitching.... yours in green...? Did u color the stitches?? What pen did u use for that ??? Looks nice
Also. .. I want to paint the center marker on...
Dayum.. that looks amazing.... I just want to do single color.... probably in red or yellow.... so, Michael's hobby store has the enamel paint n brush ??. Do u need to redo?1?? I mean, once it's done, it shouldn't come off right? It's in a recessed area.... ?!?
Tnx for your advice
I'm about to do my 1st break in oil change at 1k mile.... I looked at the filler port on to n I'm wandering if I can access the filler hole just thru the removal of that one small cover.... I plan on using the same set up as above.... putting the angled funnel into the clear plexiglass screw in...
What is the best way to paint the knob in red or black color?
Colored nail polish or ? N if I try to clean up the paint that gets out of the indented letters with ,say alcohol pad, etc...will it smear all over the textured surface of the knob ?!??
Please advise...
if you can make a few extra and let us see it; we'd be interested in buying them from you.... but $900 for the other piece....nah...maybe for $200....

yah, naples said that lotus NA told em that the process has to be done by the dealership, supposedly. And they use a service called ALL STATE that charged me some $1500 for pushing a few pages of paper ; which im sure is split with the dealership.... i got my plates and the title for the car...
i got my emira from naples lotus.... paid for full... i wanted to get the car and register it myself here BUT they insisted that they have to do it; that lotus NA told em customers can not do it on their own....so, i sent in the full sales tax amount, about $8500 plus another $1500 for their...
well, you are supposed to pay in the state that you will register the car in...
i ve bought cars from E coast, had em ship em over; then pay the registration fee in calif... which is basically 8.5% sales tax ...alot of money on a 100K car....
the dealer in FL where i got the emira from said...
well, at 750miles or so, the yellow low pressure light went OUT ....will see how long it stays off/normal... the TPMS reads 32/35 as set with an accurate manual pressure reader.....
smh...
'24 Emira
Ok... so, my tpms was reading Correcy pressures... I put 30, 34 ... any way, screen says tp good, but the dash yellow low tire pressure came on around 170 n now at 750 miles, its went off...
If it's due to wet tpms, how was it that it was reading correct pressure all along ?, and where...
Really like what you did to the shifter numbers.... I'd like to do red n yellow .... what paint or touch up paint did u use? What is the technique? Just paint it in n wipe the excess ?? Also, should I put a clear lacquer on top ??
Tnx for your help,
