    Interior Camera Mount Solution?

    I’m looking to mount a GoPro inside my Emira, w/o using a suction cup which is frowned upon at the track. I purchased the ZL1 tow hook mount but would prefer the view from the windshield and capturing some of the dashboard and interior sound, if possible. I’d rather not drill holes or do...

    Any safety-conscious Canadians interested in buying a Simpson Racing Hybrid S, head/neck restraint system?

    Hello fellow Canadians. Having been "hooked" (pardon the pun) on the Simpson Racing Hybrid S restraint system at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Nevada (went twice in my not-too-distant Corvette C8 days), I'm looking to purchase one for track use in my Emira. For those of you...

    How good will the Emira's gain in value be?

    I don't know about you, but when I see the thread entitled "How bad will the Emira depreciation be?" pop up from time to time on this Forum, I take this and some of the comments in the thread, as being too negative and focused on the short term. I know I know; it's a neutral title so I'm likely...

    TPMS Question

    Hello to all. My local tire shop today, can't find which TPMS sensor works with Emira rims. They showed me their new-this-year advanced Autel OBD2 scanner which allows them to search various markets for a correct part, but even searching the European market lists nothing for the Emira...

    Anyone thought about painting the manual transmission gear shift lever?

    I'm planning to install an after-market black/red gear shift knob when the right one comes along and think a black gear shift lever would match well. I've seen some who have replaced the gear shift "gator" with a taller one, which covers up the "aluminum/metallic" gear shift lever below the...

    Lotus Emira OEM Goodyear 4 Summer Tires For Sale (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)

    I'm still considering putting my original (544 km/338 miles on them) summer tires on rims, however unless I spend +++ money for a set of forged rims from the States, that won't happen. My tire shop hasn't found any different sized (front/rear) rims, available locally, but they're still looking...

    Removing Emira Manual Transmission Gear Knob

    Page 47-50 of the Service Manual is a bit shy on details and although I know others have done this, I’ll set it out here for DIY’s like me who appreciate having things spelled out, no matter how obvious it may be to some: 1. Loosen the M5x16 “grub screw” that’s at the back of the knob. I used...

    Rock Collector Body Location Likely Leading to Surface Wear/Rust?

    Here’s something my car detailer pointed out this past w/e, when doing PPF touch-ups on a full wrap: behind each front (not rear) wheel, there’s a small hole, he thought may be for air-flow. Rocks kicked up by the tire enter, then get deposited in the small gap on the lower car edge, where they...

    How to improve Emira blind spot?

    I’ve just passed 1,000 km on my Emira and noticed today, for the first time, a small view through the passenger-side “rear window” when shoulder checking. It was mostly blocked by the passenger seat headrest, so I leaned that headrest back and out of the way, to increase my ability to see...

    Registering your Emira (Alberta Canada experience)

    I made the mistake of registering my new Emira today, rather than accepting the dealer's offer to do it for me. I fully paid for it, in advance, so thought I'd register it before picking it up tomorrow at the dealership, located 3 hours away. I've registered many vehicles before...so thought...

    Question about Emira storage of sunglasses

    Still waiting for my Emira and thinking about the practical problem of where to store sunglasses, where they're readily accessible and not (for example) hanging from a holder on the visor, potentially blocking my view or (since my sunglasses are thick/wide when folded) hitting the windshield...

    Emira Windshield: expensive to replace?

    As I wait for my Emira, I'm planning ahead, including talking to the same person who's done PPF and ceramic coating on my other vehicles. He's offered me several options for a windshield protective coating, ranging from Can$150 to (gulp) Can$500 and tells me he's recently put the Can$500...

    Canada Emira Warranty Comments/Questions

    Hope it’s OK to start a new thread on this topic. I haven’t seen any info about a Canadian Emira warranty and invite anyone “in the know” to point the way, if it’s now available. A few questions and perhaps Canadian owners of other Lotus models can answer based upon their experience: 1. If...
