I’m just parroting what I have seen others say here, but as far as I know all I4’s have fake engine noise. It should be the same with UK cars but I’m not completely sure on that. I think everything we’re hearing is normal and characteristic of mid engine cars. at least in terms of hearing...

Is the ticking sound constant or at low revs and giving it gas in a higher gear? I have that but the transmission sound I haven’t noticed. Honestly that might be because I’m too focused on the turbo noise.

Well crap have I been damaging the engine during my entire break in? It’s happened to me almost every drive. I did put high octane in on my third fill up and it alleviated it, but it would still ping just not as much. I would describe what I’ve been hearing as more of a rattle than pinging but...

Congrats we’re going to be twinning I have the same spec but I got the I4

I’ve had the same issue as everyone else, left indicator fault and right indicator fault. These happen almost every drive. What I haven’t seen anyone mention is a brake indicator fault but it’s only happened once. It was worse before I charged the battery. The message used to stay until using...

Please ignore how dirty it is but got them all installed. I think it looks much better. I also noticed in my pictures with the yellow badges the top of the lotus badge was pointed towards the valve stems… oh well I’ll fix it next time the tires come off. It was super easy to snap them out with...

Yes they do. On my way home from getting my PPF a giant tumbleweed the size of the car blew onto the road in front of me. I dodged it the best I could but it brushed up against the side of my car. When I got home and saw the cut above the intake my heart dropped a little until I checked the...

Sorry this weekend I’m going to NASCAR. Next Tuesday, Thursday and weekend I’m free. I’m new so you and cdn_alien are the only ones I know so far. We could start another thread to see if more people would like to join in.

Thanks that sounds fun. I live in New River so it’s a bit of a drive but I’m willing to go if I’m free. When were you planning on going?

I got the nose badge on but the wheel badges I wasn’t able to get off with plastic trim tools. Planning to take the wheels off this weekend to push them out from the inside saw somewhere on the forum it was easy to do it that way. I bought them on eBay from Bell & Colvill. The wheel badges are...

Thanks, yes it’s XPEL stealth PPF

Thank you! The only thing I don’t like right now is the yellow badges clash with my red calipers. They look great with yellow or black calipers, but I opted for alcantara with red stitch interior and wanted the red calipers to match. I have black badges ordered and they are on the way I think it...

Got my Emira about 2 weeks ago and got a PPF immediately. Just got it back and ready to start driving! I already asked a stupid question on here and I’m sure I’ll ask many more so thanks in advance for putting up with me. I traded in my 2022 Supra for this and so far no regrets. Even with minor...
