Drove my new beauty home for the first time from the dealer!
Congratulations!!!!

My car finally at the dealership, passed all inspection and hoping to have it soon 😊
Saw my Emira. My 1st time ever… and it is more beautiful in person. Glad I made the right color choice ( Hethel yellow) . Hopefully to get delivered this week.
Btw, from an hour of talking to my SA I learned a few tips ( certain stuff that had been reported in here ) to at least avoid or minimize having to deal with them

Checked out @morphious short shifter and grabbed this shot.

It was really helpful to drive and compare. His seats were noticeably more flat and steering felt smoother without some of the low speed creaks I have. Good to know for future dealer visit. And short shifter felt great!
Would be helpful to reveal what were the different seats being compared and the short shifter brand.

Not even Emira owners park next to each other. :ROFLMAO:
 
Got myself a nice selection of used (nearly new) parts for my I4 Emira. Planning to install at the WE. Aerie Ti exhaust and cat. Dump valve, carbon paddles and some carbon trim bits. Everything came in at less than the price of a new Cat ;) :cool:

Woke up at 5am to go for a drive through the twisties (Wisemans Ferry for the Sydney AU locals). As soon as I started the car, there was a loud pop. No errors on the dash so I started driving. However, when I got to the twisties and used the Miltek remote to open the exhaust valve, nothing. None of the buttons seemed to do anything. I pulled over, went to the back of the car and noticed when pressing the buttons, there does seem to be a vacuum sound and motor sound so I am assuming the valve controller is working and so is the valve motor which leads me to believe it something to do with the valve or the valve spring. I have contacted Aerie about this. Putting it in Sport or Track and going over 4k rpm also didn't open the valves. Scanned with OBD tool and no error codes.

Annoying that I have go back to the Lotus dealership this week and hopefully get this resolved as I have a track day booked next week and definitely can't do it with valves forced closed.
