I would first take your car to a dealership to get it checked out. The stock US version of the i4 should be doing mid 3 second 0-60 with launch control.

Depending on exactly what you mean by sharper turn-in, changing toe will do a few things. More toe-out will reduce front end response right around center steering. This reduces self centering force right around the center though, so it can actually make a car feel more responsive, however. These...

Yeah, I think that would work if you went with that vent style.

That was my first instinct, but I didn't think it worked with the vent placement. I went through several versions similar to this and never really loved any of them. It was months before I came up with the idea to do more of a 4 sided shape and I still think it's the way to go. This was all...

I did satin vinyl on the vents, and gloss on the roof and under the tail light. I personally like the subtle contrast between the satin vinyl and gloss vent trim, but I think gloss black would work there as well if you prefer it to match. I don't think you can really go wrong either gloss...

Thanks, I actually posted it again and have gotten an overwhelmingly positive response this time. Go figure.

The mockups were done in photoshop.

Added a new piece to the car. Now it has a black roof, but left a body colored strip above the door.

Here's what I did.

It sounds like with the stock setup the charge cooler does charge cooling and gearbox cooling. Then the engine has separate cooling. The jubu setup sounds like it switches the gearbox over to the engine cooling system so they both share it and the charge cooler just does charge cooling. I...

Not back to back, but I've driven both, and didn't notice any big difference. Significantly increasing rear spring rate only would also shift the balance much more toward oversteer. Lotus would have no reason to do this, just as they would have no reason to have a significantly different ride...

It's unlikely the I4 has significantly different stiffness than the V6. Only the rear spring rates are different. The I4 has a different rear subframe so it probably just needed different pickup points and therefore motion ratios. The different rear springs are probably just what they needed...

Count me in.

Is this only in sport/track mode, or in tour as well?

A guy I know that can do car graphics did it for me, but I got to "help"

Yeah, gloss would work too if you wanted that look. I like the mixed finish look and actually originally wanted matte, but went with satin as a middle ground. The piece by the tail light is gloss though. Everything was done with knifeless tape so unfortunately no way to easily reproduce pieces.

More photos, I think I probably need a closeup from a more overhead view on the hood vents to better show how they look in person. I thought the 360 video was the best way to get an idea of how it all looked, but maybe not.

Those rear decals actually ended up being a bit smaller. The top profile is basically dictated by that crease in the body, and originally I wanted to then bring the inside part down lower and have sort of a double angle like the tail lights on the Evija, but it didn't look right because of that...

Yes, the vinyls near the vents are satin black like on the f430

Thanks, I posted on the facebook group as well and have been getting a very negative reaction. Quite surprising as everyone I had shown the car before and after really liked it. Maybe they were just being nice. I've done a good bit of design work in my life so I supposedly have good taste...

Here is the original mockups https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/dream-spec-emiras.3744/post-114388

Ended up looking pretty much like the mockups I had posted over a year ago. The rear vent profiles are a little different. Also had a red pinstripe added around the bottom of the back and sides and switched out the stock yellow emblems for black. Now just need to get through the break-in miles.

I also have the auto parking brake release issue. Didn't realize that was actually an issue until I read it here though. I'll try the system reset. edit: reset didn't change anything for me

Yeah, mine has been doing it too although it doesn't happen very often. I read on the facebook group that it's a known issue and they are working on a fix so just waiting. I had sent a picture of the warning to the dealer just in case they needed proof before doing a fix. The blinkers work, so...

Yes, you are correct. By the definitions on that chart, I'm trying to explain that the I4 has "low-end" or "boost threshold" turbo lag, but does not have noticeable "high-end" or "transient" turbo lag.

It's important to understand the difference between turbo lag and the effect of boost threshold. As I previously explained, because of the boost threshold, a turbo engine makes relatively poor power at very low rpm because it doesn't have positive boost yet. It's essentially just a naturally...

The 5-60 test is a good way to find out how fast a car will be when pulling from idle speed, like in an impromptu drag race where you aren’t using launch control or a clutch drop. Electric cars and large displacement engines are good at this because they still make good power at very low rpm...

Touring Front: 55 Nm/mm Touring Rear: 110 Nm/mm

I mean just the leading edge of the center section is body colored so there is a smooth line across the bottom.
