I appreciate your post, but also take note that I did not say Rolls Royce automobiles, I simply said Rolls Royce. I merely posted the current news about the U.K. and what's happening with the tariffs, and that their prime minister is working with Trump right now to work out a deal.

Perhaps if you paid attention to what was ACTUALLY said instead of seeing things through the "I'm so superior that I'm going to crush and humiliate this person for something I think they said", you'd not demonstrate who you really are. If you read what I actually said, I was talking about the...

Lol ah yes, the ever-condescending lefty who can't read what's written because they're so focused on attacking to pretend they're superior that they launch attacks over something that was never said.

Starmer of the U.K. is currently in negotiations with Trump to work out the tariff situation which seems to be going well so far. Rolls Royce has announced they're building a plant in the U.S. Things will get worked out. The tariffs that were added and removed were due to deals being made...

Tariffs are imposed by governments or whatever passes for a government in some countries. The difference is if it's political that's the specific reason something is done, like accusing a political opponent of something so you can prevent them from either winning an election, or staying in...

Actually they're not political, they're economic. They affect revenue and jobs which is typically a way to get countries to negotiate and make a deal, which is what's already happening.

Keep pretending you know what you're talking about.

Actually if there's an admin online, I'd be in favor of deleting this thread since it's crossed over into politics and the usual "he's an idiot" "no he's not" type of conversation, which is against forum rules.

I didn't say that. You do you too if you think what happened in the first 4 years was any indication of what's going on now. He learned a lot from that experience, including to not trust the in-house establishment, which is why he put together a team of outsiders who are actually going to do...

That's precisely the problem; balancing the budget isn't enough. We cannot sustain a 37 trillion dollar debt. We need to dramatically cut back on the spending levels well below the level of national income, so we can reduce that debt. We're paying just over 1 trillion a year JUST IN INTEREST...

The national debt in 1994 was 4 trillion, not 37 trillion. Just to inform all the economic experts in this thread who pretend they know better, if you spent 1 million dollars a day every single day, non-stop, it would take 2,739 YEARS to spend just ONE trillion. Imagine what you could do in...

Unfortunately as far as I know it's the only way to sync the valve with the car. Does your car need any software updates? Maybe just plan a day trip for it. The closest dealer to me is 5 hours away, and that's what I did to take care of software updates and the water shield for the front...

Take it to your dealer. There's a valve calibration procedure that a dealer can do to fix that.

The ECU learns and makes adjustments over time. When I installed the Eventuri intake, I drove the car for almost 2 weeks before getting a dyno run. I had already done a baseline run sometime before with the car completely stock, so I had something to compare to. I consistently gained 15+ hp...

They came in because I asked them to. Like I said, I've done business with them a long time. I asked Warren (the owner) if he had anything CCB-wise for the Emira, sent him a picture of my car, and he looked into it right away. He said he needed a car to look at, so I posted that request in...

If you change to stronger brake pads, that's going to change the bias. If you change to stickier tires, that's going to change the bias. For a car that weighs over 3,000 lbs, this just isn't going to make a dramatic change in the bias. What I'm looking forward to is a more linear braking...

I asked about them coming in and commenting and this is what they said: "It's perfectly alright to adopt to front big rotors w/o any concern but as you know "anything is debatable" on forums. This is part of the reason we can't participate as it can consume a lot of our time yet prove or...

Honestly I'm surprised at the animosity here. I'm not trying to justify anything. I've been a customer of RB for 15 years, and they've always been great to deal with, and I've never had any issues with their products. I trust their advice since they've been building and supplying custom brake...

Did you look at the link to the McLaren forum about the RB CCB brakes? Good stuff.

RB got back to me, and this is what they said: "A larger rotor will increase the brake torque but it doesn't change the brake bias. Emira's front rotor increase to 380 is following the same upgrade path as Porsche 997 in which 997.2 front rotor was oversized to 380 from 997.1's 350mm, while the...

It's compressed as a .zip file. You'll have to uncompress it first. The site can't accept an EPS file.

What program are you looking at it with? Do you need an .eps file instead?

That's just the preview. It's a vector graphic PDF file. It will hold resolution at any size.

Here ya go. It's a PDF file so it will scale up or down without losing quality.

I remember reading years back that it's the front firewall that actually generates the most radar reflection on low profile cars.

I'm not focused on 0-60 specifically, but it's a known and recognizable measure that people can generally relate to in order to gauge acceleration performance. That's why I wanted a Dragy and will post results. It's nice to be able to "get up and go" when you press the gas pedal, especially...

Dragy uses GPS too. You can check out the details on their website dragymotorsports.com

I'll see if @Warren-RB or Javier is watching.

In total for all 4 wheels they're 23.34 lbs lighter. Here are the individual weights.

Any braking is not good for pad/rotor wear. They're a consumable, like tires. If you don't want pad/rotor wear, don't drive your car, then you won't have to worry about bias or wear. No worries indeed.

I don't want the brakes to lock up at any time. You're sliding and not in control at that point. That's the whole purpose of ABS to rapidly pulse modulate the brakes to prevent lock up. In the old days before automated anti-skid systems, I used to pulse the pedal manually to keep the brakes...

Currency would be the biggest factor, but there's also tariffs and luxury taxes. With the way the current political landscape is right now, it's hard to say how stable things are going to be in the near future. Those of us that got FE's at the original price got a pretty good deal IMO.

Doesn't the ABS and other computers in the Emira adjust for this? You're removing over 6 lbs per front rotor with the RB CCB rotors which should improve braking. It's obviously going to change the braking characteristics compared to the stock iron rotors, but that's something you adjust to as...

Kinda sorta but only for the front brakes which are slightly larger. The rears are the same size as factory. It's not unusual for after-market brake upgrades to go with bigger rotors in the front, and often 6 pot instead of 4 pot calipers. By using the McLaren front rotor, they're able to...

We have those "Your Speed Is" signs where we live, and they do pick up the Emira, but I noticed they don't do it as quickly as it does in our SUV. I would say it takes maybe 2-3 car lengths closer before it picks up the Emira.

Just out of curiosity, I went onto the U.S. site to see what we get over here. Interestingly, you can still get the FE but only for the i4, and it's $99,900. The V6 is still listed, but as a base model not as an FE, and it's also $99,900. However there isn't a base model for the i4! I first...

Then it must be an issue with the paint. There might have been something on that edge before it was painted. It could be as simple as skin oil from someone holding the part at that end, and it wasn't thoroughly cleaned and degreased before painting. I'd have your dealer look at it. That...
