Congrats on the review. I agree with his observations. Any photos of the seats with the pads installed? How are you liking them with the pads? Any issues getting bags/luggage behind the seats? I assume the rails provide enough fore/aft adjustment to accommodate placing bags back there…

Same issue. Repaired under warranty by the dealer.

My lifetime is 19.2 after 10k miles. Highway cruising typically falls between 23-25 mpg. Around town, zipping from light to light bings 16-18.

To your point, I’m guessing your Alfa has more sound deadening material on board than the Emira offers. In tour mode on smooth blacktop the Emira can seem almost civilized. As soon as the ruts/expansion strips/concrete/potholes enter the conversation, combined with the sport/track exhaust valve...

Congrats! Let the adventure begin!!

Hi, @GrahamClark_60-68, the paint blister was on the front bumper which is not made with the same materials/process as the doors/hatch, so just a manufacturing defect. They sanded it and painted it. Perfect match. No other paint issues on the car. I use a waterless wash/wax on the car every 3/4...

Whoops! Corrected! 😛

Just hit 10,000 yesterday in 8 months (1/14/2025). Car was delivered May 17, 2024. Love this thing! Will book it in for it's second oil change and hopefully they will have the parts in for the water intrusion mod.

Absolute Lotus in the Nov/Dec issue interviewed Gavin Kershaw and this very question came up. Here is the question and his response... "AL: As Emiras come up for tyre replacement, how important is it for owners to stick with the OEM fitment specific to their suspension selection? GK: There is...

Digging the 5 spoke wheels! 👍

Replaced the plastic engine surround with the carbon fiber set from GRP. Standard diagonal/matte finish. Dresses things up a bit but is very subtle. Looks nice through the glass hatch.

Assuming OEM diameter and width...offsets F/R? Weights?

Great. Is there a name for that style of wheel? Look forward to seeing the pictures. In the meantime, if you have additional details (weights/offsets/available finishes) feel free to share them here and/or point us to your website once the style is added to your Emira offerings.

Is this style available for order? Gloss Gunmetal? OEM sizes? Custom offset's available? pricing? Didn't see them on your website...

A bit off topic...was always a fan of the V4 Interceptor. My daily driver at my first duty station in the Army (L.A. - Lower Alabama ;))was a VF500F Interceptor. Had a lot of fun on that bike. These 800 Interceptors morphed into a sport touring bike and they're still great all-rounders if you...

Air brakes! New feature!! 😉

The Powerdog Tire size calculator suggests the sidewall would be 4.3" for the 245/45/18 and 4.1" for the 295/35/19. Of course real world tire dimensions can vary a bit but doesn't seem like it would be that noticeable visually. You would pick up almost an inch of additional sidewall in the front...

While I find the touring suspension to be pretty comfortable overall, I do feel the impact harshness through the short 35/30 series sidewalls when hitting expansion joints and potholes/uneven pavement on the freeway at speed. I would think a taller sidewall would help. 19/19 would be the easy...

Source? Price?

Nice touch. Source/install difficulty/cost?

I have full PPF and use AeroCosmetics Wash & Wax All without water (you can use it on a wet car as well) probably 3 times a week to wipe down the car (going on seven months and 8200 miles). So far so good. I do note that Xpel sells their own waterless wash and wax solution so if you're concerned...

I'm the customer with 8155 miles. :) Oil change at 5k and will change again at 10k. My car needs the rubber rain bib recall but they didn't have the parts when I brought it in for the oil change. Hoping Vic has them in stock when I get the next oil change. I have been caught in the rain a couple...

Matte/standard weave carbon fiber engine surround, black anodized billet washer fluid reservoir cap (no logo), 12mm spacers (silver), 13 mm spline drive bolts (black), short shifter kit, Powerflex wheel install guide pin and a black/silver nose badge!! Thanks Greg!!

Looks great! Congrats. Details? Sizes/offsets/weights?

Very concise summary!! Well done...

Took Winston out for a drive yesterday on the six month anniversary of his delivery (May 17 - Nov 17). Hit 7500 miles as we pulled into the driveway. No issues with the car apart from a paint bubble on the front bumper and a broken tab that holds the driver's seat controls in place, both...

6750 miles since May 17 delivery...two issues, neither of which impacted driving the car (small paint bubble on the front bumper and a snapped trim tab on the driver seat controls panel - both fixed by the dealer under warranty. Temps stabilize at 200 degrees no matter the outside temp...

Children! Avert your eyes! Now I feel like I need to break out the Dremel to polish up all the metal bits...great work KitKat!
