    📓 Journals kitkat's Emira

    TE37 20x9.5, weighs 22 lbs, according to Showstoppers USA. TE37 Saga (18x9.5 +38): 19 lbs For one of the industries lightest wheels in its given sizes. Weight drop to 18s is an advantage. Tire selection will be the biggest advantage though. Go look it up for yourself. Michelin Pilot Sport 4...

    No, a drop in weight from a 20 to an 18 is like. 4 lbs. You are still dropping 3lbs and that's over an identical design, comparing an 18 aftermarket light wheel to a stock 20 inch? you are going to be dropping like 8lbs or more per wheel. 1 MAYBE 2 LBs of tire weight isn't making that a bad...

    DIY: V6 Burger Motorsports JB4 Installation

    No i don't believe VF re-posted his concerns about how JB4 works or does not work anywhere else. I agree I think it is fair discussion but not in the vendors thread about the product (if its not something the self volunteer or are just responding to inquires rather than stated presumptions or...

    Paint blistering issue update

    I wouldn't be overly concerned about that. those bubbles are unlikely to migrate around the lip, and its probably just poor paint prep in that area. which..makes some sense.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Yes it's just friction clipped in place. Start at the top near the roof and find an edge (pry tools if you must but I just used fingers) work an edge and just pull up gently and it will come surprisingly easy.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I made mistakes and thought I was lined up on the front bolt while threading it in, and got frustrated with the bracket flopping around, so removed the rear bolt. Only to hear a thunk as the bracket settled and moved. I struggled, tried to manipulate the trunk-lid to re-align. Ended up popping...

    The inevitable faster Emira

    We know an Emira R or Emira GT or S or whatever they would call it is challenged. EU7 Regulations means there is no "tuned up" version of either the V6 or i4. That would leave the Emira enhancements solely based on weight, aero, suspension, brakes. Until such time as they get a new engine...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Y'all be careful with VP stuff. Make sure you are looking at the materials information. A lot of their stuff is leaded to achieve the higher octane ratings.

    Product Feedback requested

    Very curious to see! I understand if you are going to be tight lipped about it until product release, but good to know it was a consideration.

    Product Feedback requested

    Seems like with the two bolt points (the seatbelts) there is a possibility under some kind of load (hardnesses yanking forward) that the bar would rotate, possibly up or down. I appreciate that the bar is tucked behind the seats far enough not to interfere, and also without any interference with...
