    GRP Harness Bar installation

    Shop had to install some custom hardware to attach the lap belts to my seat rails but otherwise super simple installation. Retains the normal 3 point easily. I usually run Willans 6 points but, thought I would be safer this time around and use proper 4 points that are street appropriate (I got...

    US I4 + Aerie sport cat/downpipe

    For US I4 owners (may apply elsewhere but I have no idea) FIrst off, the manual is wrong there are not two additional ports on the stock cat which are labelled DPS (differential pressure sensors) we only have two O2 and two temp sensors. Both the GRP and the Aerie cats have 6 ports so you just...

    FS: Antigravity T6/L2 Lithium Battery, direct stock replacement, significant weight reduction

    $650 I got this great battery from GRP. Barely used mostly for testing for a few weeks it's working 100% perfectly, showing full charge and stable voltage. Comes with two remotes for the battery. Great way to lose weight off a perfect place in the car...

    I4 Battery/Alternator Charging Behavior...batteries shutting off, dying, car not starting, etc.

    After weeks of diagnostics, voltage logging, and some real head-scratching moments, I wanted to share findings about the Emira’s 12V charging behavior which is probably responsible for some of the battery related issues people are having on the AMG version. My car was at the dealer for a long...

    Resolved: I4 Power Steering failure

    During driving I got a "critical engine" warning and my power steering intermittently failed, coming in and out for a few minutes - then eventually dying altogether. Battery monitor was showing at the time a low idle voltage of 12.2V and during driving only charging right after lift off of...

    GFB BOV Sample

    Thanks to @docron for his info on this, got me to take it out of the box and install it lol. of note: I do NOT have the fake engine sound generator on in my car, that was disconnected so there is no AMG sound enhancement in this video (your I4 may sound different) My windows are down so the...

    GRP matte CF steering wheel + Aerie extended CF paddles

    Got my custom GRP steering wheel installed...it is phenomenal. I really didn't like the shape of the stock wheel on the top with the odd angles. Also got the humps shaved off, just feels like a nicely made sports steering wheel now. Same commentary on the extended Aerie paddles...the stock and...

    Confirming no special dyno requirements for 2.0 AMG

    There are no special 4WD dyno requirements or anything out of the ordinary to dyno the I4 correct? I had an Alfa 4C and it would go into limp mode on a 2WD dyno and needed a particular 4WD dyno to work, just making sure didn't miss anything. Will be doing baseline pulls, then with sports...

    Pinging (?) high gear in touring mode

    Try this next time you're out: Touring, manual...drive to like 50/60 and upshift to 6/7/8 so you're barely over 1500-ish rpms and lightly tip in throttle...barely. Is that pinging? or some...M139 light metallic sound we aren't used to yet? After the tank of gas that came with the car when I...

    Soundskins Pro Review (soundproofing/deadening)

    Quick review: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L46N5GC I used about 26-ish square feet of material for the two doors (outer panel plus inner panel) and the rear firewall and 3/4 bulkhead area. I have NOT done any of the floor, wheel wells or roof. With these three areas under 50mph it is very...

    Any other I4 US cars recently add speakers/amps re: fake engine sounds

    I've read another person who has added a sub and tweeters and got past this with opposite phase wiring, but don't know if anyone has attempted external amp driving new (full range) speakers. If so how did you defeat the system fake engine sounds from distorting your signal? and to anyone with a...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    Ok there's a tiny chance I'm wrong but ...mind is kind of blown. My 2024 Dec I4 is playing very loud, synthetic pumped in sound through the stock system. My audio installer and I have been pulling out hair out trying to figure out where this ground loop is coming from. Doing a basic Audison...

    Hey from Los Angeles! former Elise / 4C / now Emira owner

    After building a monster Elise (are the ex-LT folks here now?) that was K20/24 with ITB powered, and then an incredibly built Alfa Romeo 4C with alcohol injection...I am the super excited owner of a Zinc Grey Emira in the I4 config. What a gorgeous machine can't wait to start tinkering with it...
