    Lotus Emira 3.5L V6 Oil Change How-to Video

    Hell yeah it can be done on ramps. I’ve done 2 oil changes on the Emira thus far. Make sure you get that angled funnel too. Makes it so much easier to pour in the new oil

    Generally you should do a brake fluid flush every 2 years or so but most folks are doing it earlier if you track the car

    Is it weird I like driving it a lot more than modern 911's?

    Nice write up! Would you recommend the Porsche experience? I’ve considered it in the last

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    Did you do tires first then clutch? So it would be RR, LR, RF, LF then clutch?

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    Gotcha. Did you access the clutch nipple from above like other members? Btw do you have flared wrenches did you’d recommend?

    They do the same exact things but the hard buttons are sooo much better. No more accidentally pausing songs or pressing an unintended button

    Lightweight battery

    Yeah that’s right. To be clear too, it was tight fit on my Evora GT. No idea if the battery tray is exactly the same for the Emira. Assuming yes given the rest of the car though

    Lightweight battery

    Not impossible just very tight. The most annoying part was when I had to do work on the car, you can’t just disconnect the negative terminal as it’s too tight. You need to unbolt the tray the battery it sits on etc

    Clutch slave bleeding tips

    How did this work out for you, did you bleed the clutch first before the brakes? I’ve been reading up on this and it looks like in earlier Evoras you needed to access the nipple from underneath and was a complete pain. Seems like this is as easy as reaching into the engine compartment...

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Installed these pads a few hundred miles ago and they are legit. They have a progressive brake feel, definitely less grabby and much less dust than the OEM pads.

    The inevitable faster Emira

    Omg this topic again. One day it’s v6 discontinued I’ve been told by a reliable source and the next day someone says they heard the opposite from their reliable source. Then lotus dealers release communication that is completely different and no one knows what happening. It’s crazy really

    Track talk modifications

    Sick mods! I’m from NJ and would love to give it a go at NJMP. I’m out of town May 18 but down to go whenever else. Really want to see that JUBU wing too btw!

    Window issues

    Oh man I hope it’s not the problems that the Evora faced with the window regulator. That regulator went out in earlier evoras and was costly to find that regulator. When I had my Evora I had the same thing. Window would have a mind of its own until it finally gave out. Worst case scenario is it...

    Highest mileage Emira’s?

    Got mine in April 2024 and about to cross 10,000 miles. It’s not even my daily driver!

    Paint issues? Does Your Car Live in a Garage or Outside?

    Good idea on the thread. I’ve thought about the exact same thing. I suspect that MOST owners have a garage and don’t let the car get wet (likely because they don’t daily it). My hunch is that if you leave the car outside, high probability it will experience paint issues

    Hi all, first post here as not yet in an Emira but really want to be…

    Doesn’t every single car manufactur warranty expire after about 3 years? If your dealer doesn’t offer extended warranty then just consider going through a third party.

    Puddle lights in door

    You literally pop out the light in like 5 seconds with a small screw driver. Like others have said no need to take off the door panel

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    No, mine wasn’t loose it fit nicely but I heard other forum members get loose ones. I think I remember them saying the crumbled up something around the trim so it fit more tightly.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    You just have to pry it out with a panel remover tool or a screwdriver. I’m memory serves me right. I started from the front as the back of the light has the connection. But it doesn’t really matter which side you take off first

    HOD PNW track days

    True but lots of times there’s stuff that’s not in your control like other bad drivers or debris on the track etc. I think I’ve been to 7 or 8 tracks and about half of those time there’s been an incident. I guess it depends on how risk averse one is

    Where has the cover gone?!

    Trying sticking your hand around where it would fall. Mine fell off and got stuck down there (and melted a bit).

    Hill Hold Assist - Is Mine Working?

    When on a hill (needs to be kinda steep, little hills tend not to trigger the auto hood), do you have the car in 1st gear? If so, it should hold for 2 seconds. It doesn’t hold when the gear is in neutral

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Decided to wrap my shifter shroud with black alcantara to match the rest of the car. Hard to tell from the pics but it’s a nice little difference Before After

    Considering an Emira After 8 Years with Tesla – Thoughts from Former Owners?

    how do you like the cyber truck?? Those things look crazy. The other day I was stopped at a red light behind a cyber truck and when it turned green it took off like a bat out of hell!! Reminded me the the kingda ka rollercoaster at six flags.
