Took her out this past week to get some shots by a young, talented auto photographer in the Raleigh, NC area. Loving the Nimbus! Thanks to Dominic Ross for the time, chat, and expertise! https://www.facebook.com/anton.ross.39

With the delete and valve, the Emira sounds SO good from 5500-6800. Just don't redline 1st gear or you'll feel like you ran into a brick wall with how it shuts down the power.

Wait, that better not be MY Emira!!! Haha nice spec...we're twins :) Congrats on the purchase. It's such a fantastic car:

My 340i with the M Perf exhaust does lots of pops in stock form. I'm not a huge fan, either. I plan to tune them out when I get around to it. They're a bit too "I'm 21 and I got a bimmer!" for me at 38 years old.

Got these today by a photographer while doing an Emira photo shoot. Sorry I didn't get any stationary rev vids, I'll get some of those soon and add. This is with the GRP Decat pipe + Milltek full open. That's it! Use some good headphones.

Lots of burbles on the overrun. Not really 'pops' though like you hear on BMWs and the like. I think it's perfect with this setup. Apart from maybe the Larini exhaust, I've yet to see any other videos/comparisons that would compel me to do anything further with the exhaust than these two...

I have sport setup. I too have been vacillating on whether or not to lower. I've scraped 3 times now total so I really kind of want to leave it where it is, hence the request for add'l pictures with spacers as they can often seem to lessen the visible wheel gap. Those are nice pics, thanks man!

That looks great. Strongly considering this. Can you get some more side/angle shots? I'd like to see how wheel gap looks with just 12mm spacers.

I have been getting CELs pop up (twice now) whenever I rev the engine close to redline a few times or just drive it all-out even for a short run. In both cases it has gone away within 24 hours. I haven't yet been able to read the code as I loaned my scanner to a buddy and should have it back...

Ah so YOU are the one who got Emira in NC! I did check for that and it was taken although I'm perfectly happy with what I ended up with. Looks awesome.

Yeah I was quite surprised but I'm happy :) Just awaiting its arrival!

I went with this in NC:

Well, that aligns with my hypothesis then! Thanks for the find!

Ok so it's not constant on but there's some sort of timer. I waited several minutes and it remained on. Tonight when I got home I set a timer for 20 minutes to check on it and when I went out to the garage it was off. So somewhere between about 5-20 minutes it finally powers off. This is...

This was super helpful. I couldn't find any clips or tabs anywhere visible. Per your guidance, I just got my fingers under the section in the red circle and pulled and eventually it popped loose. I hate removing pieces like this as I always feel like I'm going to break them. The second part...

Here we go, someone from the Cars and Coffee team captured us while leaving the event!

My installer opted to use PPF for the bumper up to the transition line below the letters and use Revivify for the upper part to avoid the whole letter issue (either take them off, cut around them, etc. but those can all be messy). To me it seems like a good trade-off as I certainly wouldn't...

They used revivify on the emblems and lettering areas along with some of the black trim pieces. Rockers and front lip got PPF along with all the painted parts.

Very happy with the NanoFusion full body PPF installation by Steve Costa himself offered through Lotus Cape Fear. They did it right in my garage (took about 2 full days) and the result seems remarkable. During the installation, Steve spent hours explaining to me the history of PPF, the...

Went to Cars and Coffee in Morrisville today near Raleigh (Well over 2,000 people/cars attend). It was the first one for the Emira as I got it just after last month's C&C. I saw a DV there and my friends said they spotted another Nimbus but I wasn't able to see it. The attention was INSANE...

I've never really worked on rev matching since I haven't had a manual in a LOONG time but I've been practicing it lately in the Emira after watching some YouTube videos on it. It's kind of fun and just adds to the level of engagement. Not fully there yet but I'm getting better!

Can you not pick it back up until the part arrives? I mean if the car is otherwise in perfectly drivable shape, I'd want to have it until they're ready to actually fix it. I do feel for you and your experience. I'd be annoyed as well. I'm thankful that so far my Emira seems to be relatively...

I have plenty more if you want them for advertising. @Citizen also has a ton of awesome shots and his is the exact same spec as ours.

I'd love to hear your Larini side by side with my decat-only. Let's set it up!
