The things you should be worried about regarding weight for performance are: 1. reducing static weight for low speed corners 2. balancing how the springs hold it for consistency 3. adding dynamic weight (aero) for high speed corners Lots of options to achieve the above. Note that the Emira has...

Am selling my Emira. (And another car, which is why this bumps up out of the 100k range) The current shopping list after the Emira goes away: Ferrari 296 w/asetto fiorano pack - appreciate that it's smaller than the previous generation Mclaren 750s - fully capable street and track car...

Reset procedure (what worked) After reinstalling Start car, actuate parking brake It will close them a bit and throw an error Shutoff car Restart car Actuate parking brake again. Will close a little more Repeat process until the parking brake grabs and then it will work properly. Took 2-3...

Figured it out, and posting incase anyone else runs into it. to reset the parking brake, fully unplug them. The clip is a little fidgety. If they don't pop off, then the clip is still engaged. Then run 12V to each of the 2 pins. If it goes the wrong way, reverse the polarity. I expected a...

Hi, does anyone know if there is a manual procedure (without the VCI) to reset the parking brakes to their maximum open position? I'm not seeing an easy way to open these things back up to re-install stock rotors.

Since you have coils you have far more adjustability than the standard alignment, and interestingly, the emira service manual has different suspension specs for Eagle F1 vs PSC2's. For the Eagle F1's. Set tire pressures, have half a tank of gas, I use driver weight then you're going to want to...

Am also contemplating a lemon law claim as I've suffered two broken shifters which had the car out if service for about 40 days. I dont suspect service or part availability will improve with time on the emira, so would pursue a refund of purchase instead of replacement.

For reference, here's what my v6 Emira balanced out to with driver weight (190 lbs) and a half tank of fuel. You can see that the left side is still supporting more weight than the right, so in theory, removing more weight from the left side of the car (lightweight battery, driver seat, or a...

Having been through the sport suspension with the goodyears, then swapped to PSC2's because I felt the tire sidewalls were too soft for turn in on track, then swapping to the Ohlins from Jubu... I think both the touring and sports suspension on the car have inadequately stiff springs, and...
