    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    I think if you're really set on high RPM, the best solution would be to buy a Cayman GTS.

    Out of state US emira purchase

    Pretty sure doc fees are usually set by the dealer, and can vary from zero to thousands of dollars. It always pays to shop around.

    Out of state US emira purchase

    Except the fixed sales/excise tax, those are all ridiculously, crazy high. $500 total fees would be tolerable, $3000 ($1500 + $900 + $500 +$100) is not. It’s a relatively new thing (at least around here) that some dealers use 3rd party companies to process their paperwork, at very high prices...

    Race Ramps for the win!

    The weight supported by each rear wheel on a V6 Emira is about 1000 pounds- wouldn’t be a problem.

    I think the crossover filters that come with the speakers are there to filter out low frequencies to protect the tweeters. But I guess they could also reduce the gain. Still surprised it sounds better without them.

    Nice 1/24 metal Emira model on Amazon for $28

    Obviously the same model. But I think Amazon only has the grey version.

    So you didn't remove the a-pillar trim, you just maneuvered the tweeters up into position?

    So you put the tweeters behind the grilles in the a-pillar, right? There's another thread that also discusses this. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/kef-audio-upgrade-parts-now-available.4325/page-2#post-129186 .

    Why does the Emira not have stop start?

    I hate it in our minivan, which actually has a second battery to support the feature. Fortunately, for $100 I eliminated it. (Actually, after installing it the feature is still available if you want to use it, but if you switch it off, the car remembers that you have switched it off when you...

    Nice 1/24 metal Emira model on Amazon for $28

    Certainly not Exoto quality, but very nice for $28. Mirrors swing out, doors open, engine cover opens, etc. The only miss is that the calipers rotate with the wheels, so I'll block the wheels in the correct position. https://tinyurl.com/amazonemira .

    Not just another sportscar. The other?

    Pretty sure they mean the Emira is an alternative to Porsche. Really the only alternative.

    The state of new cars, a non Emira rant!

    So the lane departure etc stuff in the manual isn’t in the US cars? I also want the Evora old school parking brake instead of the Emira electric one, so I could run 18” wheels.

    The state of new cars, a non Emira rant!

    What I’d really like would be an Evora with the Emira body and interior - but without all the Emira screens, driver aids, etc.

    Floor Mats?

    Weathertech mats are molded, I don’t think the quantities would make sense for them. I’ve bought several sets of carpet mats from Lloyd (for 993, NSX, GR Corolla), nice quality. I keep the oem mats unused. They also make rubber mats, looks like a couple versions are cut to shape. They don’t...

    Is anyone running 19" track wheels?

    For us older and/or slower dudes who may also live in places where it can get cold and wet, your sweet spot 19's are available in DWS06+ and PS AS4 all-seasons. Although I might do 18 on the front, with 235/45-18 or 245/45-18F and 285/35-19R. In addition to the slightly better ride, my old...

    If anyone cares, I found the Lotus official logos here. https://media.lotuscars.com/en/galleries/logos.html The Lotus logotype is very close to Gotham Bold (a font actually most known for its use in marketing Obama), but slightly heavier and slightly modified.

    Audio thread- to KEF or not to KEF?

    Thanks, Obi-wan, but I’ve installed dozens of car audio systems, and at age 69, I don’t need any education regarding the center speaker I don’t need or want, or help understanding that, duh, we use our ears and not our eyes to sense sound stage location. Don't fix something that isn't broken.
