Great catching up with a few new friends this morning. @mr.suntorytime thanks for letting me try out the seats. They looked good in pics, but looked and felt incredible in person. @Kaz Thanks for the letting me sample "the crack" that is your whip. BTW for the group that went, were there any...

Specifically, top left corner and sitting on top of the air filter. It actually has to be removed (unscrewed and set to the side really) to swap out the air filter.

Yeah, the Parking structure a 150 ft. away is the better staging area given we have more than 2-3 cars. Not cool to fill up the Shell station space unless we're all grabbing gas.

Perfect, looking forward to checking out the Tillets if you don't mind.

I don' think anyone is being a naysayer (i'm certainly not). People are simply calling out the details. Like I said, I'm rooting for anyone and everyone that can get this solved. I'm even rooting for the few that might get the older ecu clone. However, I'm also saying, people should...

Makes sense, but here's the problem. Superficially, going to an older ECU isn't ideal. Just think laptops or other electronics. There's a reason the technology evolves. I'm guessing running an older ECU, probably has a lot of unknowns (but maybe not...). Ideally, we'd want someone to...

The cloning approach is nothing new. This is how ECU's were being flashed for the Alfa 4C. and it was done very efficiently and with brand new "spare" ECU's. Multiple tuners just bought them in bulk and flashed them for commercial sale. @docron and @Kaz can all attest to this when we all had...

I ran Cup 2R's on my Carrera T and was shocked at the grip differential to the Porsche specific N1 variant which is already somewhat stickier than the standard Cup 2. As soon as I burn through my Cup 2's on my i4 , I'm definitely experimenting with the Cup 2R on the Emira. Especially on the i4...

It's closed Monday through Friday. There are a few of us going up this Saturday morning. Meeting point is 7AM at the Shell Station on ACH at the base by the freeway.

There are tons of owners in Charlotte per both Emira forum and LotusTalk. I'm guessing you need the car for a couple of days? Offer up a set of free rotors for all four corners. I guarantee you will get a taker. I would do it, but I'm in So Cal.

Even closer to me. I hit all the local mountains, I'm in Orange county.

Mt Palomar?

As always thanks @docron for the detailed pics and write-up. Definitely looks doable for a dork like me. There's no way the reciprocating saw is coming out for this one (See my exhaust install thread)!

So, I've picked up on a mild distinction here and perhaps a forum member can confirm or even @shinoo from InoKinetic. For a long time, everyone was referencing NItron UK and their development. But there is in fact a Nitron (USA unit) R&D shop in Murrietta CA. They just did what I believe is...

If anyone does this, let us know if it triggers any TPMS errors. Not sure if swapping from left to right would mess with the base measurements it uses as a reference. Just a thought...
