    Juddering windscreen wipers

    That juddering behavior sounds alot like worn wiper inserts. I think that'll be an economical way to troubleshoot if it's just the blades or something else. Mine are also used infrequently, but its very smooth.

    FOMO Engaged - Girodisc/Ultradisc

    This maybe valid for those that don't track or push the car, but 2 piece rotors can be a great upgrade depending on your use case. Similar sized 2 piece rotors by themselves won't increase your overall total braking power, but it will reduce rotational weight, reduce heat soak for track work...

    VF Tuner for the Lotus Emira

    I am certain the community will welcome your offerings and additions. The OE rev limit is a huge thorn in almost every owner's side. The ability to remap for specific modifications or fuels would be amazing. Looking forward to what you have to show.

    Lotus introduces Emira V6 SE and Emira Turbo - showroom debut in September 2025.

    I agree. Until we really understand what actually was changed, I'm choosing to read all of the language as marketing fluff. As a hypothetical, if they changed 1 or 2 coolant hoses that's shorter, etc, that would be 'technically' accurate, although not practically impactful.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Did you have a way to defeat the passenger side airbag sensor or you're just dealing with the SRS light?

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Not difficult, just takes time and money. If you re-sleeved the block and bored to 97mm with aftermarket pistons, that'll get you close to 3.7L (3.68L) with stock rod length and stock stroke 83mm. I'm not intimate with the 2GR platform, so I can't say if one would run into HG sealing issues...

    Interest in Maxton Design Aero pieces?

    Yea, perhaps it was just application specific. Here's the Maxton lip and side skirts on my F type. Pretty minimalistic. I treat them as consumable bumper protectors :)

    Interest in Maxton Design Aero pieces?

    Likewise, I would've thought they'd want to jump on the platform, but apparently not. I really like the simplicity and economics of their pieces!

    Interest in Maxton Design Aero pieces?

    I reached out to Maxton Design UK asking if they have anything in development for the Emira and they said not at the moment. However, if Emira owners showed enough interest, they would be willing to consider developing aero pieces for the car. I've had "Street" Maxton lips and side skirts on...

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    Yep and still locked down. According to them, only 2 maps are user adjustable....fuel and ignition....:mad:. Pay standalone pricing and configuration, just to be locked down by someone else. You'd be at their mercy for additional tuning.

    Great work and thank you for sharing your log! Would you happen to know the source for the Y axis on the left of the graph? I'm interpreting that as AFR scale looking at the behaviors. Is that something that can be user selectable?

    Emira track impressions

    100%, as we all know, there are many factors that influence chassis dynamics and balance. Static WD is just one data point.

    Emira track impressions

    I think I better understand what you mean now. Did it seem to happen at certain braking areas or was this happening every time you were on the brakes? I'm also wondering what your tire temps were like as well. When I start to overheat tires, I get inconsistent braking, but for me, my data...

    I source PFC pads from the folks at SpeedFreaks. Great service/support and good pricing. If you have questions about which compounds to try, give their team a shout and they'll steer you in the right direction.

    Emira track impressions

    Have you ever tried PFC pads before? If you haven't and you're looking for something different, I'd recommend you try a set. They aren't cheap, but very good characteristics all around. While I agree that the Emira brakes are overboosted, I'm able to modulate the brakes to my liking. Naturally...

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    Frankenstein Motorworks is one of many companies that have done significant development work and demo different builds out of the 2GR platform. There's also a good amount of 2GR's being fielded in many forms of racing for one to follow as well. Personally, I find the 2GR to be quite robust and...

    Instant weight loss and no strict diet with Tillett Seats!

    I believe GRP already tried this approach and it doesn't work for US Spec cars. hal's car is a JP spec and maybe similar to EU spec for the SRS system. So unfortunately, for us US spec cars, still no passenger defeat yet :(.

    To Corner balance or not to Corner balance

    No, I believe the context you're taking is not that the author is saying NOT to corner balance, but was referencing static F/R weight balance. I can't say I agree, without knowing the intent of the car, but corner balancing is never a "bad" thing. It's just a tool to assess the static load on...
