I have had the same experiences as most of what you said except the following:
The steering wheel doesn't really bother me...maybe I've just gotten used to it.
Reliability for me has been fine with just a few transient CELs and a couple limp modes during break-in. From miles 4-5K, nothing...
How are you liking the Eventuri a few months later? I just received mine in the mail today from @GRP and am looking forward to installing it. Of course, the improved sound is really my #1 concern closely followed by the associated power gains.
Man sorry to hear that. I don't really launch the Emira from a dig just out of an abundance of caution but it's a bit concerning that a 4K launch killed it. I guess we'll all have to be even a little extra careful if we're running it hotter than stock. Hope you get it sorted out quickly.
Thanks @Coreyalert3. It's fantastic to have some data with a common setup (Milltek VC, 3rd Cat Delete, + Intake). Those numbers looks like what I'd expect without an all out launch from my experience. With a JB4 Map2 tune (assuming it's really pushing another ~90whp), I would expect that 1/4...
While I'd love to have a big ole' V8 in the Emira, if there is no frunk OR trunk, it makes it borderline impossible for any real road trips with another person. I'd rather keep it the way it is if the JB4 lives up to the hype. With the added ~100whp it should be much closer to the GT3 in terms...
We had a great time meeting up and hitting some of the northern Wake Country roads this morning. The weather turned out to be perfect and we had a good showing. Here are a few photos of the beauties:
I did the 3rd cat delete and MiIltek VC at the same time. In touring mode with VC on OEM, it's still quiet to me and sounds similar to stock. With the VC in full open, the car takes on an entirely new personality sound-wise and that's how I tend to drive it exclusively unless I'm entering or...
This was a couple weeks ago but I forgot to post it. We had a great time at lunch meeting up in Raleigh for lunch. As usual, the Emiras drew quite a bit of attention in just the few minutes we hung around before going in to eat. The only thing that looks better than an Emira parked in a lot...
In general, I would recommend shopping around. This time last year when I bought my Emira, my main insurance provider (National General - a subsidiary of Allstate) wouldn't insure the Emira at all. I went with Hagerty which was around $2K per year (max 7,500 miles/year).
This year, when I...
I was almost certain I'd be tinting my car to the max legal NC limit (35%) but once I received my NG Emira, I decided not to do so. I think a lot of it has to do with all the smiles and thumbs up I get from people on the roads and that would largely disappear if people were just looking at...
The more I drive this car the less I car about a few tenths of a second to 60. The V6 manual is just a blast. Wouldn't trade it for a 3.3sec 0-60 i4 autobox.
I have the same setup and yeah, hearing that drive-by with valves open is just epic. I rarely get to hear it from the outside :) Thanks for sharing. Such a crazy awesome mod for under a grand USD.
I'm planning to have my ticking noise addressed during my first service visit if at all possible but yes, a confirmed resolution or two would be nice if anyone has had this successfully eliminated.
Eagerly awaiting the news. Mine seems to be getting louder and more annoying at 3,100 miles. I would like to have this addressed on my next service visit but I don't want them messing with the interior bits unless we have a confirmed fix.
Interesting experience with Nimbus. I haven't regretted it once and get so many compliments on it virtually non-stop at C&C events. Nimbus is such a deep and dynamic color. It really stands apart from almost all other silver-esque cars on the road.
I get that color is a personal choice so...
Overall, it was a huge endorsement of the Emira. Thomas said the Z06 is more fun to drive "at the limit" but I'm sure that in a canyon or on regular roads where you aren't "at the limit", the Emira is WAY more fun (and it has a 3rd pedal). I think the Z06 looks great (much better than the...
They have been there a few times but this is the first time they were a "featured sponsor" I believe. Got to park in the VIP section right in the middle of the action:
Anyone else headed to C&C Morrisville tomorrow morning? I'll be there and likely parked at ore near the Lotus of Raleigh VIP tent. Just got her all cleaned up tonight!
Is this the official thread for it?
EDIT: Nevermind, stupid question I guess since it says in the initial post, but the thread title should probably be changed...
This happens to me occasionally but usually people are trying to get up beside me to get a closer look at the car. Every now and then someone in a Mustang or souped up Civic will get on my tail and zip past me trying to make some sort of point but it doesn't bother me. About 95% of...
Been taking my 2 year old out in the Emira. She absolutely loves it. I took her to a summer "camp" a few times at a nearby church and it's pretty funny to see all the moms and dads in their SUVs and minivans and then little Maddie hop out of the Emira. The other parents love it, too :)...
