    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    Yes, especially in regards to what he's driven the weeks before, a Cayman GTS 4.0. It's a real fresh view on ICE sportscars by a car guy who usually reviews EVs. This gives the whole review another twist or tweak that was new to me, but I can totally relate to what he says. And this also...

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    To be honest I'm a little disappointed by their review as they stated the wanted to go into detail, but there is no news at all for the enthusiast like me. Neither they put the car on the scales to get some data. And they did not go where this car shines, to the canyons. The harder the streets...

    Fay de Bretagne Track - Emira V6 - with JUBU 3/1 & 2/1 exhaust parts

    Have you got any results from your workshop yet? I'm curious what came out regarding the dyno runs? :)

    Fay de Bretagne Track - Emira V6 - with JUBU 3/1 & 2/1 exhaust parts

    That sounds like a plan! :) Please share those dyno graphs when available, especially with interim-solution without the ECU tune. I think this exhaust setup is good for 20bhp on its own. Would be great you can back it up with a dyno-run and some air/fuel-ratio during the run... (y) And the...

    Fay de Bretagne Track - Emira V6 - with JUBU 3/1 & 2/1 exhaust parts

    That looks quite fast and impressive! Have you done mods to the ECU or only exhaust modifications?

    Someone knows ORIS? That‘s my daily rocker at the moment.

    Exhaust Options Index

    For those who are interested how the Larini exhaust looks like, Komo-Tec has published fotos: https://www.komo-tec.com/en/detail/index/sArticle/1148/sCategory/1015 Haven‘t seen them elsewhere yet, even Larini website doesn‘t show how the exhaust looks like.

    OBD Port

    You can find it more or less directly under the steering wheel in the steering column.

    one less Emira on the road RIP

    From what you can hear is he/she pulls hard on wet road, then the rears light up/ you can hear the revs suddenly go high, losing traction without a steering response.

    Supercar you would take instead of the Emira

    Same here, I adore this car. It has always been my definition of a supercar. Until I saw ohne in the flesh, back in 2013. Build quality was, how do I put in words, lower than I had ever thought possible for such an expensive car. Now I would also consider a F50, at least from a technical point...

    📓 Journals Hethel Yellow First Edition is mine now!

    Today's the first day I can drive the Emira and I used lunch time making a short inspection run. Of course, during winter months Emira is connected to a battery tender. Engine started faultlessly, no problems here. Smiles per miles, I can tell. It's just so satisfying to drive, parked in the...

    Getting the Emira under 1400kg?

    My list above is a list of upgrades which could also be seen as done by factory as a "Type R" sort of thing. It's not ruining the intent of usage of the car, to be a sports car with erveryday liveability in mind, as a GT car for longer road trips an so on. You can of course do the full on...

    Goodyear or Michelin durability ???

    It‘s a different game when it‘s cold and slippery outside with a mid engined rear wheel drive car, especially with 62% weight at the rear. I think when you want to drive it all year long get some decent winter tyres, like Michelin Alpin 4 or 5 in this cold period of year. It just needs one...

    Nitron Suspension Development

    Is rebuilding a real issue with these TTX dampers? I know that Öhlins reccomends it every once a while, but do these dampers differ in that regard to other performance dampers?

    How many miles has your Emira done?

    4000 miles so far, last season. Form March on I will add some more, looking really forward to drive it again, winter time with salt on the road my Emira stays in the garage. :)

    Emira 3.5 V6 manual vs Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 Spyder

    I'm afraid this is not a 718 Spyder (GT4 equivalent), but a 981 Spyder. It did not have the special GT4 treatment as the 981 Cayman GT4 got, just to put this into persepctive. Other than that I agree Emira needs some extra horses. I will probably go with Komo-Tec one day. It's hard to resist...

    James and Thomas from Throttle House have become my most entertaining car-enthusiasts channel, they are are so funny and down to earth. I fully get their view on cars and from an you and me perspective, that's why they are so likable. Regarding their view on the Emira and what it is I think...

    Heated seat - temperature variation

    Also had the feeling that at least on the lowest setting of the three it somehow forgot to warm and then came back again.

    Did you notice any power gains? Would be interesting to see some numbers from a dyno for example! Or exist any references to Evora 400 where one can see what benefits are to be expected?
