Bunch of middle-aged sport car owners say they went for the cigars, but it seems mighty "convenient" that there is chiropractic clinic next door...
What did you do to your Emira today?
- Thread starter MYFASTEFE
- Start date
Do you notice any additional torsional rigidity in the chassis/frame from this?
That and the tillets look
Milltek V2 valve controller? How difficult was the install?

Did an oil change and cleaned out the panels and diffuser while everything was apart. Man does it get dirty under there!
Also you DO NOT Have to remove the middle panel.. There is nothing under there except some cables.. You can see them in the pic.

In my parking garage w no crawler it took about 2 hours. A crawler probably cuts that in half.

Could this be where the ticking noise is coming from?

Fitted the non haptic steering wheel buttons and a Jack Webb Motorsport Li-Ion battery.
Now I understand where this clip is supposed to go.
It is a dumb little clip, I almost threw them away when I did the cat delete and valve controller. Would think they would use something a bit more robust.
Finally got the Emira dialed in properly on the GRP lowering cups w/ 12mm spacers all around. Gonna have to bump up the rear height a touch and keep an eye on the CV boots, but it's looking and driving sharp.
looks great, do you think doing just 12mm spacers without lowering will look odd?

Planning on doing the same soon. Did you lower it the same amount on all four corners? Just wondering why you'd want to raise the rear back up when the car already has some forward rake as stock.
I don't think it will look odd, probably a bit better than the stock spacing. I did it all at once so unfortunately I don't have spacer only pics. I think there may be some floating around the forum, though.
Right now it's the same ride height on all four corners which I like from an aesthetics point of view. However, as-is, the GRP adjustable lowering collar and nut are making some contact with the rear CV boot which appears to be causing some premature wear. This is unavoidable since the perch has to be at least the same diameter as the spring.
Thus, I don't really have much of a choice but to raise the rear a few mms to avoid this. It shouldn't make much of a visible difference. I'll post a "final" pic once I've had a chance to adjust the rear and monitor the CV boot (using a yellow paint marker on the GRP collar/nut to ensure there is no contact being made).
Pics below showing the contact if you go lower than you are supposed to with these:

This is great insight and thanks for the pictures. I'm not planing on maxing out the drop on the GRP sleeves (maybe 15mm) and I'm going to keep the stock rake so hopefully I don't have any rubbing issues.
@Mr. Sparkle - You should be totally fine at 15mm. If you want additional peace of mind, after you set the rears you could use a paint marker where it would contact the CV boot and take a peek at it after a little while just to make sure there is no contact there. That's what I'm about to do.
I have 12mm all 4 corners and no lowering and think it looks great. Sorry, not the best picture.
