Is the above (thanks David s) what everyone is doing for the track? Does anyone start at lower (than street) pressures and find that works once the tires quickly heat up and if so, what cold pressures do you start with? And David s mentions he's using "R spec tyres". I'd be using the OEM Eagle1...

Thanks for this. I see it contains 4 "TSB's Class 4" and 2 "QBP's Class 3" and 1 "QBS Class 2" (7 total) for some different concerns, with directions to dealers about corrrective measures. No actual recalls. As well there's one complaint about the "twisted seatbelts" from an Emira owner, with...

Good suggestion. Have a short shifter kit on order from Aerie (along with new V2 rims, which are holding up the kit's arrival); planned to install the kit regardless. I didn't measure the height difference but I'd say it's about 1.5 inches taller.

Raceseng shift knob installed and I'm happy with it and like the extra weight. A few things to add to the helpful advice above from crestima: -don't forget to install the spring that came with the OEM shift knob set-up. The install video on the Raceseng website, doesn't show that; likely...

Ordered the “Evora/Emira” Stratose Raceseng shift knob (black alcantara; red side stitch; gear shift silver top numbers), being one of the few types they had left. Ordered September 6, so it took 10 days to reach me in Canada (including weekend days), so pleased with their ship time. Need some...

OK OK I"m IN, as well. They just need to price the production model, with all the same features, at less than US$100K and my marriage will survive the purchase...(lol). A lot of innovative ideas. I'd love to sit in one and even better, take it for a test drive! Should we start lobbying our...

That's not the hyped-up new announcement due out today. The Lotus Type 66 was announced already, apparently with only 10 to be built: announcement made in August 2023: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/motorsport/new-type-66-ps1-million-lotus-never-was

A nice looking young lady who can drive a stick, behind the wheel of an Emira?? In my younger days, I’d have thought I’d died and gone to heaven! Back in my motorcycle days, I thought the same thing whenever I saw a lady driving a bike. Even with a helmet on and no hair sticking out, you could...

An end to my “Witamats story”: I received the final piece of the puzzle today: the trunk/boot mat I ordered just over 4 months ago, which I ordered with the inside mats. It took just over a month to get the 2 inside mats, with Witamats telling me they needed to figure out the trunk dimensions...

I'm having too much fun to think about parting ways with my Emira...but if I was to move onto something else sporty, save money, and sacrifice storage space, I'd consider "down grading" to a 2024 Mazda Miata MX-5 RF GT (retractible hard top) with a manual transmission, with its improved (for...

In case it helps anyone, here's a screen shot of page 250 from the Emira Owner's Handbook, indicating how to temporarily hook up a battery tender, rather than fitting "permanent connections" which looks to be the focus of this thread so far.

Oh come on fellas! Contradictory launch dates generate even MORE discussion and PR...as evidenced by your posts (lol). It's all part of the Master Plan...

Classic automotive 10-step manufacturer PR: 1. announce some mystery vehicle; 2. set a "launch date" (sometimes complete with clock that ticks down); 3. splash around a few teaser photos; 4. "accidentally" release some further tidbits to select auto reviewers and/or media influencers; 5...

Good idea however it depends how much room you have to work under the Emira. The screwdriver/driver you reference takes up more space, compared to the ratchet. If you're working under a 4-post lift, then for sure it's better to control the torque with the screwdriver/driver. If space is at a...

My Emira came with a black tow-hook, in the "trunk (aka boot) kit". Some questions: 1. I assume this can be used for the front of the Emira (only), since page 267 of the owner's handbook only mentions the tow hook being connected to the front? My Corvette C8's had a place on both the front...

I know; TY. The OP suggested some Emira may have a fourth drive mode if I read it correctly, whereas mine has three, plus the option of turning the stability control completely off, in all three driving modes. I wonder if some Emira are set-up differently.

As per the initial TomE post that starts this thread, I put my Emira into track mode, then pushed the mode selector switch towards me and held it there. The screen showing it had been in track mode disappeared while I was holding it, but there was no change to any gauges in front of me, so my...

My email to Raceseng went unanswered for about 2 weeks, so I followed up. Second time was the charm: I got a response within a couple days telling me they aren’t making any more Evora shift knobs (whatever they have left is it), nor do they have any plans to make shift knobs for the Emira. I...

You might find some helpful info in this Forum thread: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-front-ground-clearance.2932/ My last sport car was a C8 Corvette. I a have a steep driveway so ordered it with the front end lift option and always raised it, before going up or down my driveway...

Pffaff! Why not buy a REAL MOON WATCH in true "he-man metal" (solid gold)...the Omega commemorative 50th anniversary version of the Apollo Speedmaster...the first watch on the moon (lol). A better match for someone like me with a Vivid Red Emira and a mere C$47K for a scratched-up well used one...

Thanks Raab. I swapped out my OEM Good Year summer tires for those same all-season Continentals, shortly after taking delivery of my Emira. I need all-seasons to drive sooner in the Spring and later into the Fall, before Winter kicks in. I'm very happy with the Continentals: good grip in wet...

Thanks Dragoon for posting what I believe to be the FIRST Emira oil/filter change instructional video. I'm sure it will be put to good use. Nice promotional tie-in as well, directing people to this Emira forum. Well done!

I'll encourage you (and anyone else buying a replacement steering wheel) to post photos, of your new one. My thanks to FlyNavy01 for doing so. I'm still debating this purchase and when it comes to "round vs. OEM flattened" my question for people like FlyNavy01 is whether the dashboard view is...

I hope you don't have to "pack your bags and run" from the typhoon, especially since you don't yet have your (Bag World) bags! (lol) But in all seriousness, all the best to you and yours with the typhoon; hopefully it doesn't create too much damage. It's unfortunate we're seeing all these bad...

Mine took 5 business days to reach me in Canada. I suspect yours going to Japan will take more than that and you won't have them by this w/e (sorry). But I hope Bag World and the courier prove me wrong!

I've had success with aftermarket rims on other vehicles, which are gun metal in color, making brake dust less visible. That's one reason the Aerie V2 rims I just ordered a few days ago, are gun metal. I doubt I'll have them in time to put on my extra set of tires, given the fast approaching...

Nice spec. Suggest you include some listing photos showing interior and verify in description it’s accident-free. Good luck with your sale and relocation!

Having been to Chicago a couple times, I know your weather and that it can be COLD and with snow, with the extra level of humidity creating a challenge when combined with any wind that seems to bite right through you... I know a few brave souls who drive their sport cars year round in Canada...

I'm a recent convert, to almost always driving in track mode and my Emira is a daily driver that's yet to see an actual track. I was driving in sport mode, but switched for fun and then got hooked: it's more responsive with a deeper exhaust note, compared to sport. And yes, some of the "nannies"...

It sounds to me like a luciddaydream (lol).
