What did you do to your Emira today?

[Gprodigy]

anothe C&C day with a group. The Silver one had eventuri intake and carbon fiber race seats so we checked that out as well.

 

[DriverMod]

Got my first check engine light tonight after a slightly aggressive drive.
P0111 - intake air temp sensor out of range
I cleared it with my scanner. Interestingly it wasn’t showing as a hard code but now as a pending code.
CEL didn’t come back on after restart. I’ll have to drive more to update.
The car sat for almost 3 weeks so I’m not surprised it threw a fit after that.

mines done that simply from pumping gas that the car didn’t like. Now im more selective with stations I go to.

Luckily I always pump gas from the same reliable gas station with confirmed 91 octane.
It threw the light right after driving it hard and getting caught up at a few red lights before the slow cruise toward home. Ambient temps were around 75°F with 80-85% humidity. I think some heat soak is triggering the sensor.

At 85 percent humidity it should have steam cleaned the engine.

Had it down at Car Week for the weekend! Saw my first fellow Emira on the road, a Magma Red outside of Pacific Grove, and a Seneca parked at Laguna during the historics on Saturday.

And finally finished running it in on the way home - but will wait to have proper fun with it until post-oil change.

Put fuel in it for the first time. The Emira sure makes the drive from Los Angeles to the Coachella Valley fun.

I am not sure what I was expecting for fuel economy, and embarrassingly, I never thought much about the size of the fuel tank.

If you exclude or amortize the cost of the car, the fun factor-to-cost ratio per mile makes the Emira a bargain.

PS: I'm curious if anyone else's car is vain like me. She always looks at herself in the mirror. She thinks or knows she is a baddie.

Pretty good smiles per gallon so far
Your smileage may vary.
Looks can be appealing.

I finally got around to ditching the heavy chromed dealership license plate frame for a simple black silicone frame and added the rubber U Channel trim around the plastic edges of the seats.

Very nice and simple! I like both of these and will follow suit, I think. Good, simple changes!

I didn’t “do” anything to me car, per se, but last Friday I picked my daughter up in my Emira, and my dad picked my son up in his 1976 Triumph TR6, one right in front of the other. Pretty good start to the first week back at elementary school!

Now we know who the coolest kids are.

Cleaned mine yesterday only to find the first significant stone chip . So phoned today to get some touch up paint from Lotus only to be told that they don't do such a thing! So ordered the Chipex systme which apparently guarantees to be an exact match for my Magma Red. Fingers crossed it is.

How do you sell painted cars and not touch-up paint?
Lotus continues to amaze.

My car is at the port, waiting for its shipment tomorrow to Israel from Italy to finally become my daily, really excited and a bit nervous as I really enjoyed the car abroad, hopefully there won’t be any issues as nearest dealer is a few hours flight haha either way luckily we got an amazing and supportive forum community!

Well, I installed a titanium cat-back exhaust.

And the Aerie CF vents, and my other sill.

Tomorrow (later today) it should be running again.

Hey brother . How did you take the side vents out ? I need to take them out and redo PPF on my side panels .

After 9 weeks I got mine fixed!

But, I used the opportunity to have the @Aerie carbon paddles and engine surround and the @GRP titanium/carbon exhaust tips fitted.

Collecting it tomorrow.

I optioned the heavy-duty axle and tow package and bought a matching trailer, but I am not within the legal or safe operating parameters without an integrated trailer brake controller which the Emira does not natively support.



Of course, all the above is a gag.

I did find it a neat coincidence that the car goes with the trailer, or vice versus. I never thought about until I had them in the same driveway. I think my therapist would have a field day with why my vehicles (and my personality) are either back or white with no color in-between.

Got around to installing the matching gaiter, alcantara with yellow stitching. Big thanks to @Jimblob for the contact at Hide and Seam and the install tips. Turned out great and I like the way it looks.

I also dropped in the K&N air filter. I have not done the valve controller or 3rd cat delete yet, but there is an increase in supercharger whine with the new filter. I am only at 350 miles, so I have some time before I do the first oil change and if I am going to do either the controller or 3rd cat delete. I like the sound now, but time will tell.
