What did you do to your Emira today?

Stopped in to see it at the shop. There are still two ahead of me. One with an intermittent CEL for an O2 sensor, one for several various CELS.

Checked the battery compartment to make sure nothing had been shook lose. Everything looked fine.

Tried to check the fuse box behind the driver's seat but couldn't get the cover off.
 
I just finished installing bunch of stuff I ordered from Greg.

1. Eventuri Intake
2. Miltek valve controller
3. 3rd cat delete
4. CT Carbon full kit
5. Lowering sleeves
6. 12mm hub centric wheel spacers

I'm so happy with the result and just researching on what to do next. Any recommendations on what to do next??
How about a professional photoshoot! It looks too good not to have some quality shots with a good background at magic hour.

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!

Great picture for your collection.
 
I took mine to get coffee before work this morning. One of my close friends hadnt seen it yet and wanted to check it out. He fell in love with it!
 
Wrapped the eventuri intake tubing and miltekl valve controller wiring in gold foil before i take the car in for installation

Finally got my V5 through so I could swap the plate out.

Shortened the standard front mount to suit.

Talked to my dealer. I'm now second in queue to be looked at after the holiday.
 
Went to the Lotus Factory at Hethel for "The Taste Of Lotus" with two 15 minute drives in one of their Emiras on the Hethel Test Track. There were two great instructors, one of which was Martin Donnelly. What an experience to drive on their track being first shown how fast you can go in these cars and then doing it yourself. I can't believe just how much grip the Emira has and I know I still didn't get anywhere near the limit.
I also called into Classic Team Lotus for a quick photo opportunity.

My wife and I drove out to Hawk's Nest on the Delaware river. Nice twisty road and some good sunrise color. A friend took pics of both of us in motion, looking forward to getting those. First time these cars have been side by side away from home.

Found this a bit interesting. Non-extended blackpack but with black film applied to the roof rails and carbon fiber film to the roof panel (with mirror caps remaining body color). The carbon film has surprising depth and dimension - zoom in on the 2nd pic - had to look super close to find out what it was. Sorry about the dirt, been on the dealer lot about 3 weeks, don’t know that it’s been washed.

Seats!
 
Over the weekend
Switched out the annoying haptic wheel pads for push ones.
Added the yellow badge over the wheel emblem. Goes fairly well with yellow stitching interior.
Swapped out to silver exhaust tips from black pack required ones. Personally like look better that way, lot effort for changing tips.
Washed car for 2nd time in 6 months.

Finally figured out the mobile coffee setup with the Emira! I can fit a camping table, coffee grinder, kettle, and more all in the trunk. I'm powering this with an Anker Solix C1000 and everything is under the 50kg weight limit.

The goal is to be able to do some fun drives, car meets, track events, etc. and setup and make coffee for people :coffee:

Shot a quick vid on it too!

Finally, an Emira owner who likes coffee more than me! I wished we lived closer because I would definitely join your drives and meetups! 😋:coffee:
 
@Thgbrian did you get that color matched to your car or just serendipity?
