Did you have to do anything special with the O2 sensor to avoid CEL? As I understand it, you have no cat now, right?

Not getting my hopes up, unfortunately.

That is such a wide and useful powerband. Also, the massive torque down low is going to make the car very entertaining even just moving around town.

Yes, opening the window changes the car interior from a large sealed box to a large and very leaky box. The subwoofer we have is a "fresh air" sub, which really just means infinite baffle. The reason it sounds louder when you open the window is because the "air spring" inside the car...

You should make it clear which version you have, I4 or V6. :)

I was parked when doing this measurement, but it may be related to what you have pointed out, because the wavelengths in this frequency range is very similar to the inner dimensions of a car. So my microphone could have been picking up a strong standing wave cancelation mode. These standing wave...

It's not as simple as just adjusting the EQ settings in the car. The high frequency response in the KEF system is reasonably smooth, as you can see from this measurement I made in the linked post below, which echoes a similar measurement I saw in a review...

Unpopular opinion, it sadly seems, but the stock KEF system has *PLENTY* of high frequency output, as confirmed by multiple measurements. Adding more is going to make everything sound shrill and sibilant. To me, adding the Pioneer tweeters to the KEF system is putting ketchup on steak. The...

You can see a photo of the resistor pack in this post here: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/air-con-known-issue-no-fix-yet-edit-now-with-official-fix.3211/post-133792 It's not difficult to see and may be possible to get to without a ton of disassembly, you can give it a shot if you are...

I think every car/clutch is different and would require some judicious adjustments to launch technique. If you are doing hard launches, my thinking is that you should be letting the clutch fully lock up pretty quickly, generating some slip from higher initial engine RPM and then transitioning...

Why are there six Emiras parked at your house?

30 cars arrived recently for the US but nothing for Canada. I will add the 30 cars in a couple of days. Edit: the 30 cars that arrived on 8/20 has been added to the tracking sheet.

Emira is also a registered trademark of Lotus.

No, not sarcastic at all. I would do it all the time if I wasn't worried about premature clutch wear. Haha.

Yea, downshifting to a stop light is so entertaining. Lol

Thanks for the report. The issue with accelerating downshifts is that the car can't really tell if you want to upshift or downshift. There is no sensor that it can rely on. Also, it's less of a problem rev matching accelerating downshifts since your right foot should already be on the gas pedal.

Anton was good to me over email last year when my car was in their shop. I don't know how I'd feel about text only communications. But I guess it's better than nothing. Thanks for the report!

Race videos are less reliable than dyno charts. There are many more variables in a race video. Hopefully you'll see a bigger difference in cooler temps.

Mine still the best.

Nope, but one would expect that they should be very soon if not already on their way. It's not a huge number of cars so the port inspection and prep should not take that long. That said... who knows... I'd say up to a 2 month delay is probably still reasonable?

My standard quip that the Emira is not dishwasher safe. Handwash only.

Take one for the team and report back.

Sorry to hear about all of this. That gear shifter spring breaking is a new one I've not heard before, though the non functioning power steering pump is, like, just another exclusive feature that a few of us got. Hope you have an otherwise normal car.

For the V6, normal driving around town is about 2-2.5k if I am maintaining constant speed. My old manual habit is to select the gear that matches the speedometer/10. So so if I am accelerating from 25 to 35, I choose second gear and shift to stay in third gear when I am done. Lower than 2k, I...

Very true. I remember going to HongKong in the 90s and spending 200 USD for a sick AIWA cassette player. I couldn't find anything that nice in the US.

Same. And I have a V6.

How long do you typically leave the car sitting? I ask because in my experience, I've left the car sitting for 3-4 weeks without a trickle charger, while constantly monitoring the battery health and it never dropped below about 80-90% For much longer than that, sure, connect the charger, but...

Shipments arrived in the US on 7/15. Tracking sheet has been updated: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/usa-canada-delivery-thread.2183/post-124216

Hey all. Look! Shipments! Image links to the tracking sheet with VINs

They would have sold you anything as long as you are paying. I NEVER feel embarrassed in front of a car salesman.

Is the door card the same for the Base vs KEF system?

The Emira at current US pricing is a bargain. Not sure about the rest of the world though. The rarity of the car and the styling puts it in a different league. The AMG GT 43 is actually an interesting car to me. But in the end, even for similar money, I would take the Emira.

Makes sense. The bass link mini is only a 6x8 driver. I recommend a 10 inch driver for measurable improvements.

This thread is hill-arious. Thank you.

It's common for DCT, especially Mercedes DCT to buck in low gears at low speeds in stop and go traffic. When it happens, it feels like the car is not in gear and then once it's suddenly in gear, it lurches and causes a jolt. I think it's due to the fact that DCT is supposed to "guess" which gear...

I don't understand, why do you want to revert back to an older version of the ECM software. What do you expect to get out of it?
