    Thoughts on modifications

    Yeah I can see that but hell4leather seemed to be wondering if the road hood could be modified so I assumed it was more than just the decal which would be really easy.

    What's different about the hood? Looks the same 🤔

    All of this thread, started by a troll but an interesting debate non the less, feels a little like all the other non event things we all worried about before we got out cars (bonnet gap and steering wheel I'm looking at you) that once we got our cars we've not given a second thought too. The...

    They do offer it but not in a way a 570 macca does, have you been in one? If an emira is Gs pushing you back in yiur seat a 570 is moving internal organs around a bit 😄 It's all about perspective, I remember a time when 400bhp in a 1400kg car was full in supercar stuff, that hasnt got any...

    It was "interesting" watching the vette but fair play to the guy he could seriously pedal! I'm not sure the suspension was stock/standard but didn't get chance to ask him.

    300plus kgs up as well i imagine. Short straights and twisty roads yes but real world experience, might look different on a runway 🤷🏻 I'm telling you my experience is the emira outperforms it's numbers. We did this run in the wet and I had no issues keeping up

    No It's not going to give that next snap a 570 gives, another 50bhp wouldn't change that. It's on a par with a gt4 for pick up as you'd expect. So say coming out of a 2nd gear corner on it at say 4k and flooring it it feels strong,, traction is immense so it hooks up instantly the super charger...

    You're point is valid just as mine is, I was merely pointing out my points of reference are likely to be far more varied than yours. If I think back to my opinion of the car after my first 60min test drive and after 1500mls of mixed scenario driving with many other varied performance cars it's...

    It's certainly not something I've seen come up on UK forums, Facebook pages etc now quite a few uk owners have their cars.

    30min you say, I've done 1500mls Inc various super car runs buy.... 🤷🏻 In which case you'd also find a GT4 on road performance disappointing. Different market I guess with cheap big bhp vetts and mustangs etc available to you. If you're saying there's an extreme lack of alternatives though...

    There's a forum member self tested at 4.5 I believe. It's a tricky car to launch granted but it's there or there abouts when you get it right. In the move, point to point its plenty fast enough (i say this having driven with Maclarens, ferrari , new m3 etc...), which is as its intended, if you...

    Update on the full Larini V6 exhaust system

    There's a guy I've used regularly that does great work. Takes the stock exhaust off, opens it up from the top, reworks the interior depending on what you want and then welds it back up so all back in place in the car it looks stock. Normally charges £300-400 Depending on the work. He does a...

    Emira performance - disappointing?

    I would be quicker point to point on a twisty in my Emira than my m4comp. The m4 would be quicker straight line (straightline is a relative term for an f80 m4c), as long as it wasn't, below 10deg,... and or wet... or the road surface was a bit sketchy.. 😂

    Toyota 2GR-FE engine vs. BMW B58 (Supra) engine

    Not sure how anyone could say the Supra has a better engine! The most disappointing xbox feeling car I've driven in years! If you looked at the speedo it's was making decent pace but if you'd asked me on feel I'd have said it barely had 300bhp. The s55 in my old M4C had more character for sure...

    Throttle house GTS 4.0- brilliant but... The caveat is we'd take an Emira over it And autotrader, better steering and handling than a Cayman

    Update on the full Larini V6 exhaust system

    Be really interesting to hear this, mines booked into PCW exhausts to have the original system modified in 4wks. (He's done 2x RS5's and a 911 for me.

    Shoulder surgery so no driving for 6wks 😭 There are some upsides though 🍻 Self confessed porsche fangirl Mrs B seems won over by the Emira, said the steering "feel" takes a bit of getting used too Passenger gives you more time to look around and the interior really is quite a nice place to be
