    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I put about 1300 miles on it prior to taking it in. Wanted to have ample time to shake through some delivery quirks and identify any areas that needed extra love.

    Finally got the car back from PPF... was quite a journey. The shop was about 300 yards away from one of the tornadoes that went through Temple, Texas before memorial day weekend. Needless to say it was slightly delayed, but well worth the wait. The car is absolutely transformed somehow, hard to...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    Car is getting picked up and transported for PPF this morning. I will be doing a full stealth xpel wrap on my DV emira and intend on leaving all of the black gloss items in gloss wrap. My car only has the lower black pack. I know there have been a few IG posts with this install but happy to...

    Rattle from rear glass area?

    I've noticed a rattle that seems like it comes from the engine bay area; It seems to stop once things heat up, but is fairly persistent. My OCD ears tell me it is coming from the assembly on the cabin side of things back there. Has anyone else noticed/found the causation?

    Who has Milltek's Active Controller Installed?

    Thanks for this. I will have to try next time I drive the car.

    Who has Milltek's Active Controller Installed?

    There is NO difference between sound levels with factory and closed. When I put it in factory, and change the modes - I get no sound difference. I am worried to run it in "OEM" mode because it seems like its functioning the same as valves closed mode; Hence my question if there was some sort of...

    Who has Milltek's Active Controller Installed?

    Question - the valve controller doesn't seem to let the car go back to factory settings. It's either open or closed. Is there a trick (ie. put it back into factory mode when it's in touring at idle) or something that I am missing? Thanks!

    Highway "Cruising" - Consensus Feedback

    Great feedback in this thread; I am in Texas and its wild how much i've learned about how terrible our road surfaces are in this car :LOL:

    Highway "Cruising" - Consensus Feedback

    Looking for some general feedback on highway driving experiences here. I've driven both my car and a dealer demo on the highway and they both seem to appear to drive very un-settled at highway speeds. Lots of steering wheel movement and "jerk" over the smallest road imperfection. I am curious...

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Yup, it appeared to be improved after their “fixes”. If they balanced all the wheels like they claimed, and aligned it as they claimed, I feel like this now becomes a steering issue? I have an email into the dealer and plan on following up with a call tomorrow.

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    I did not drive the car I purchased until I was driving it out of the showroom. If it wasn’t a late night and a Monday, I would have turned around immediatley. Here’s another video showing how hard the car tracks to the right, as well as the steering “shaking”. Not sure if it’s as obvious as...

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Attempted Video of Wheel Shake I am hoping I can get a few eyes on the above, hard to video but you can see around 2-3 seconds where the wheel just shakes back and forth when the front suspension is slightly un-settled.

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Unfortunately I took the car out this afternoon and it seems like we still have a major issue here. When the car hits bumps or becomes UN-settled, the steering wheel shakes almost like my old Jeep did (like death wobble). Any suggestions?

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Always and agreed. I’ve had a few P cars come in this way. Just was a battle to get the dealer to do it!

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Just went to the dealer and drove the car with the head service tech. Took all of about 5 mins on the highway that he was like "oh yeah that's obvious". Says that they didn't realize it was at highway speeds although I specifically stated it was between 65-85 mph. Seems like there was an...

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Another update. I am being told they can't balance the wheels or do an alignment without me paying for it.. They want me to drive their loaner car and my car back to back with the service tech. It's going to be comical when it's blatantly obvious, and it's frustrating it takes a week and to...

    Alignment/Suspension/Stability Issue

    Just an update here. Once the dealer received the car any implication of my causation of the issue was clearly dropped. They have identified the car tracks to the right and has some additional feedback in the steering wheel. The dealer is taking precautions and "following the procedures from...
