I have had the same experiences as most of what you said except the following:
The steering wheel doesn't really bother me...maybe I've just gotten used to it.
Reliability for me has been fine with just a few transient CELs and a couple limp modes during break-in. From miles 4-5K, nothing...
How are you liking the Eventuri a few months later? I just received mine in the mail today from @GRP and am looking forward to installing it. Of course, the improved sound is really my #1 concern closely followed by the associated power gains.
Man sorry to hear that. I don't really launch the Emira from a dig just out of an abundance of caution but it's a bit concerning that a 4K launch killed it. I guess we'll all have to be even a little extra careful if we're running it hotter than stock. Hope you get it sorted out quickly.
Thanks @Coreyalert3. It's fantastic to have some data with a common setup (Milltek VC, 3rd Cat Delete, + Intake). Those numbers looks like what I'd expect without an all out launch from my experience. With a JB4 Map2 tune (assuming it's really pushing another ~90whp), I would expect that 1/4...
While I'd love to have a big ole' V8 in the Emira, if there is no frunk OR trunk, it makes it borderline impossible for any real road trips with another person. I'd rather keep it the way it is if the JB4 lives up to the hype. With the added ~100whp it should be much closer to the GT3 in terms...
We had a great time meeting up and hitting some of the northern Wake Country roads this morning. The weather turned out to be perfect and we had a good showing. Here are a few photos of the beauties:
I did the 3rd cat delete and MiIltek VC at the same time. In touring mode with VC on OEM, it's still quiet to me and sounds similar to stock. With the VC in full open, the car takes on an entirely new personality sound-wise and that's how I tend to drive it exclusively unless I'm entering or...
