As if Emira ownership wasn't rewarding enough!Elisa Artioli sat in my Emira!
She was doing a talk about her life with the Elise (at Bridge Classic Cars) and how her grandfather named the Elise after her.

I have used Barkeepers Friend with great success-all corrosionn/rust removed.....The sun was out this weekend, so I finally crawled into the boot and fitted my GRP short shifter kit, and so far my TLDR review is that it feels great. Generally much tighter feel, and 1-2 is very much improved, which is a nice surprise. The most invaluable tool in this endeavour was a magnet-on-a-stick, as I dropped the cotter pin right as I was finishing up
While the covers were off, I also spent 30 minutes scrubbing the surface corrosion off my supercharger with an electric toothbrush and some metal polish
Didn't come up perfect, but a lot less manky than before...

Fair shout. I actually ended up giving Peek metal polish a try, and was pretty pleased given the nearly-zero effort I went to this time. I'll probably give it a more serious go when I next work on the car (and maybe test some BKF).I have used Barkeepers Friend with great success-all corrosionn/rust removed.....
Autoglym is pretty goodFair shout. I actually ended up giving Peek metal polish a try, and was pretty pleased given the nearly-zero effort I went to this time. I'll probably give it a more serious go when I next work on the car (and maybe test some BKF).
Today I broke down at a stop light. Lots of metal clunky sounds from the transmission area. The car shifter can shift but car doesn’t engage any of the gears including reverse. So if I put it in 1st, and slowly pull out the clutch the car won’t move.
We had to push the car to the position it’s in now.
Hopefully this isn’t a bad repair. And is covered by the warranty
yikes.UPDATE to the break down. One of the Axle Shafts snapped clean off and nothing else was damaged. The part is coming from the UK (but apparently a few have already been shipped) Lotus has seen a few of these - whispers of a potential recall - Will keep you all updated!
That might have been my car.I've put an Emira badge in one of my seats.
I saw that someone had this on their car, maybe by mistake at the factory, and I quite liked the idea.
I'll see how it goes.
One minute job to swap over.
