I think you've missed a trick not having a bright red cape car cover :) (giant yellow S symbol optional) Currently getting the fidgets in preparation for delivery of mine (been told it is built, and am awaiting checkout email) ... I'm terrified it will instantly be dirty, and I'll instantly...

Not been paying very close attention this week, and only just realised this is a thing! I had been wondering if there was a way to support the forum, so this is great... will subscribe when I get a moment this weekend right now 👍 (gotta stop putting things off like that... bad habit :) )

So the issue might be because everything is fscked...?

I'm impressed that you isolated this, and many will thank you if they can reproduce your result ... but if this actually true, I'm also horrified and dismayed that Bluetooth or WiFi would have any impact on communications that should be isolated on the CANBUS 🤨

U.S. gang can just read it in a mirror, right...?

Been watching this thread for a while, and I feel like I should pitch in my two pence/cents/yen ... I was totally in the i4 camp when I placed my deposit (in late 2021!) and I was super excited about having a sportscar-slash-baby-supercar that had a modern AMG drivetrain with tunability for...

"Something unique" describes most of the cars I've owned up until now (casting them in a charitable light, and applying appropriate levels of sarcasm) :) "Something special" is where I'm hoping the Emira pans out to be...

If I drove them all back to back, I'd probably piss myself with joy, and think they were all great fun 😁 I appreciate you have a contemporary to directly compare it to, but I do still get on board with the description "Old Timey Supercar". I personally concede it doesn't meet the modern bar...

This is a really impressive effort, given the amount of hours you would have sunk into this, so my hat is off for that :tiphat: I'm taking a suck-it-and-see approach to deciding what mods to apply to the car over all, but I'm super jazzed that somebody has gone to this effort and has provided...

I feel bad for wanting to almost exactly copy this look... so badass. In my defence, the rear wing is actually further than I was (past tense? 😅 ) thinking about going, and I'm opting for black calipers behind that colour of wheel. This spec is just 100% chef's kiss, and the custom stripe is...

Congrats! Loving the superhero grin out the window 😁 Agree with the sentiment about the badges... a year ago (ha!) I would have sworn I'd change them instantly, but now I'm thinking I'm going to take the car pretty much as-is, and see how I feel after a few months of living with things before...

Cheers for going to all this effort @Martylemoo Happy to send through some money in advance if you PM details. Will include a little extra so you can buy yourself a thankyou beer :D 🍻

That looks positively like front-splitter nightmare fuel... if you can make it up and down there, I'm feeling pretty chill about everywhere I visit on a regular basis!

TBH, I kind of wonder whether it's just a good idea for each dealer to get permission from each buyer to (considerately!) drive their car around for a couple of days, just to iron this kind of bullshit out... makes such a bad first impression :|

I think the stock exhaust also does this to some extent, but as a rally fan, I don't mind a bit of exaggerated gurgle-pop-crackle on overrun. I realise it isn't for everyone, so would love to hear impressions on what the ERF (eye-roll factor) is on this particular setup. In my opinion, you get...

Now that is service! I really do love this forum :D @Kimmax , I declare you to be a Top Bloke ™️

Not being funny, but... have they photoshopped the side mirrors out on this?

How about this... I know I'm going to be considering one if they aren't eye-wateringly expensive :D Sound of Emira V6 with Eventuri intake

"... Hopefully that was the only issue with the AC" Narrator: "It wasn't..." (PS: ballsy move posting publicly that you've whipped it up above 90mph on the way home 🤨 )

This feels unreasonable. I'm a middle aged man... Wtf else am I going to wear if not jeans?! 😄 (White sneakers and sports coat optional)

One thing that is interesting on the Viofo cams is that you can set it up to join your home WiFi network (once in range obviously), and view videos with a regular computer , rather than having to direct connect via the app. It's called "station mode" if you look in the settings, IIRC. I'm...

After a few months of use, I can confirm that the Viofo A139 Pro I put in the family car (as mentioned earlier in this thread) is doing great, and provides excellent clarity both in daylight and at night 👍 Will definitely go with another Viofo for the Emira.

#2 *raises hand* I'm keen to get in on a user manual print run if one is happening, and the workshop manual too, please and thank you.

A Lotus built in Hethel, composed completely of electrical systems and computers? Where do I sign!?! </sarcasm> Jokes aside, the render in CAR looks pretty wild compared to the smoothed-off Emira look... I hope they can actually achieve that price point, and not creep north of £100K. I suppose...

TBH, in person, you just don't notice it... the pre-prod ones were *much* more noticeable.

Just got fresh quotes (supposedly in build Feb/Mar, so checkout and delivery "soon"? who knows 🤷‍♂️) and, as a 44 y/o with clean license, in the Oxford area, I'm around the 600 mark for 6000 SDP miles, parked on drive, NCB protected, 250 volountary excess (going to zero volountary excess puts it...

Faintly Properly ridiculous, even as a party trick. I guess the great news for collectors out there is that these will be super rare in the future... after most owners black out and crash them.

I've always wistfully dreamed of having a Ferrari 360 or 430 (and you can lump the 458 and 488 in there too I guess), which is why the Emira rings my bell. If ruinous maintenance cost wasn't a thing, a nice 430 is probably what I'd be seeking out. I'm a simple man... I don't need the fastest...

Maybe this tweak to the language would ease the burden significantly ;)

"Wow, that's a *lot* of soft drink / soda!" 🦆

In the year(s) of its manufacture, it doesn't qualify as "super", I'm not going to go around saying I drive a "supercar", but I absolutely buy the whole 20-years-ago-this-was-super angle, and "would have had this posted on my bedroom wall as a kid" as a metric for desirability... that is totally...

I expect to see carbon fibre mud flaps, Ade. With winglets for extra downforce.

Forget S and R, I'm fairly sure I'm in the queue for the (probably less exclusive than we'd like) F.U. spec... my latest interaction with them (after an inquiry as to when I might actually see a checkout email for my "November build" vehicle): Not the service agents' fault, but christ on a...

Great idea for a thread 👍 $296 for the Larini system sounds a bit suspect though...

oh... really?! Clearly I wasn't paying attention, as I just listened to him waffling about using the factory fixing/clip points for the speaker spacer ring, and assumed that meant they unclipped the originals... :confused: In my defence, it is Friday evening, and I had a glass of wine in hand ;)

I was thinking that could be neat for not annoying my neighbours, but your use case takes it to another level of sneakiness (of which I highly approve) :D

"like I always say, you can always make a car go quicker..." (*ahem*... presumably by reducing weight rather than adding it, you mean? :trollface: ) I will say that I do like the sympathy to keeping it feel "OEM plus" (shout out to @FlyNavy01 , as I have that same approach to modifications)

This intrigues me... are you planning to use an off-the-shelf solution for this, or are you DIYing it? My interest is piqued, as I work in vehicle telematics as my day job 🤔

My probably offensively oversimplified take is this: The cabin is effectively the inside of a speaker enclosure (for the free-air sub). Opening a window effectively changes it from a sealed enclosure to a ported enclosure, and unloads the woofer (it has no fixed amount of air to push against...
