    Track Cars & Brake Issues

    Am going to bet that your rotors are warped, or at least warp at temp. I had a similar issue happening with the stock pads, where they pulsed once hot, then when cool felt normal again. I think the rotors have a design or manufacture issue where they don't expand properly when heated. Would...

    Slight right pull under acceleration

    For all those with issues, note there are different alignment specs per tire, and from factory, though my suspension was in tolerance it wasn't spot on. Tiny changes on this car makes a large difference in handling. Have your alignments checked.

    What's in your toolbox?

    A phone, a charger for that phone, the number of a tow truck, a small adjustable wrench to apply some torque to the tow hook and keys to another car. These car's aren't really roadside serviceable. The Torx to get into the frunk is in the took kit. If you get a flat, maybe a tire repair kit...

    Tires for everyday driving - Lots of miles

    If you want tires that last a while, Michelin AS4. The wear on that series of tires is fantastic, and as a bonus it'll cut down road noise quite a bit. From a grip standpoint... less... but they let off at limit predictably.

    Steering wheel buttons sold. Adjusted language to "Tow Strap". Fair point.

    FS: Jubu Ohlins, Brake disks, cooling kit, GRP short shift, wheel studs, Aerie tow hook, steering wheel buttons

    Confusion over the cooling kit. It is the water pump pulley and thermostat. Not the ducting for the brakes. I did have those but they are pretty beat up and wouldn't want to ship bad parts out.

    FS: Jubu Ohlins, Brake disks, cooling kit, GRP short shift, wheel studs, Aerie tow hook, steering wheel buttons

    For Sale. Shipping included for US only. Prefer not to ship internationally as dealing with customs was difficult enough importing these parts. Car had 6k total miles. Parts were installed around 3k mark. All very good to new condition. Reason for sale is that car is being sold and went...

    KEF Confession

    Agree that the best way to enjoy the car is to not use the KEF system. Unless you like audio that can't outpower road noise and sounds like the voices are coming from you knees (tweeter location)

    Changing the Emira's Weight Distribution

    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...

    If you sold your EMIRA what’s next?

    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...
