M2, and other G-series models, are such effective tools on track; suprisingly so actually. However, they are equally boring to drive in town on a daily basis from the driver's perspective. The best part of these Bimmers' I think is that they are multi-purpose vehicles, great value for many. I...

Here is some information on what to make of oil analyses:

OP's story is so very nice. Great to see the Emira is being enjoyed in that manner. As for Harry, I doubt he needed or wanted sponsor the Emira. He had already done multiple videos on it, all very positive, on the vehicle and Lotus before taking delivery. If anything, him selling the car a...

He is certainly talking about what I experienced. The exception is that we can feel the change in brake pedal pressure, which is not communicated to the driver properly with electric systems, so we have one advantage. For our cars and for this specific issue, I think the real solution is to move...

Lovely Emira. I bought mine, nearly the same spec, from Orlando as well. They were very easy and helpful to deal with. Enjoy it for long time to come. (y)

I am not sure I understand the sensation of "chunky." I only have 2K mi. on the car and attended four track days thus far. I cannot say the brakes are great on the Emira, adequate probably is a better way of describing it for me. I have Jubu cooling vanes, Pagid RSL29 pads and RBF 660. The way...

That does sound pretty amazing (y)

For comparison purposes, here is mine:

I highly doubt that. It is a Torsen diff, mechanical, and unless there is significant loss of traction on one wheel, there won't be any lockup on the diff, and for that to happen, there needs to be enough lateral force to unload the inner wheel. On a straight line, I cannot think of a way the...

Here is a summary video of a couple of sessions: My notes on the weekend are here.

I went to a NASA Mid-Atlantic event at my home track last weekend, the last of the season. We could not have been luckier in terms of the weather; it rained on Friday night, but Saturday and most of Sunday were dry, hitting around 70 degF. On Monday the arctic cold hit, back down to 30 degF. I...

There are several things to consider, and it is really tough to chase. I am certainly sympathetic to your situation as I am also experiencing the issue in some similar form. Firstly, not all tech really know the specific process to align double-wishbone suspension. Secondly, not everyone...

No, it is constant. Initially, there was a pull or 'attitude change' when accelerating, particularly in 3rd gear, which was the reason I asked for alignment in the first place. That went away once the rear toe was fixed, which was way off.

It wasn't quite that I went cheap on tires, although you do have a point. The Cup 2 tires also overheat in my experience with other cars. Since I am in the learning phase, I thought I need endurance tires that won't overheat and last long time (1 year), I alright compromising cornering grip, but...
