AWESOME!! I've been accidentally doing all sorts of unintended button swipes. Which is ironic: I'm unable to use modern car controls, but I think I'm able to remove an explosive airbag to install antiquated buttons I can use! :) M

Side note: a color very close to zinc grey is now the base (and free) color for new Harley Davidsons. Black, for the first time, will cost extra. M

My son has an RF and I have an Emira. For a reason! ;) Mateo

Actually, a gap-filling CA glue (Superglue) would be better for permanently filling in the numbers with clear. M

There's clear air-cure Cerakote! Mateo

I was thinking about doing this. I have air-cure (as opposed to oven-cure) Cerakote in black and red, among other colors. Cerakote is used primarily for firearms and is very long-lasting and heat resistant. Mateo

I love that emblem! I swapped my stock yellow out for black and silver. I wish I could find JPS badges. The yellow nose looks confusingly like a Ferrari badge on the Emira. I'm very proud that it's not a Ferrari. IMHO the Emira is what Ferrari should be making as a new Dino. But they're...

@LuckysDad Where does that info come from? I couldn't find it in any PDF I could search for. Thanks again, Mateo

Thank you!

Is it the same as the alarm for security? Or are there two noisemakers? I'm looking to upgrade. Thanks.

Not a great foto, but I have a grey NSX-T in addition to my Nimbus Grey Emira. Two great cars. (As are the '35 Ford and Mercedes 560SL, but those are very different.) I might choose the Emira over the NSX if I had to! Mateo

If only JC Whitney was still in business... :)

There's an old acronym: RTFM. :)

I was looking for a video too before I did it. I think it's so simple that no one bothers recording it. If you do it, I'd encourage you to take a video. Simply loosen the rearmost bolts on the rear undertray. You will only have 5 a gap inches high or so, but it's enough. The Milltek can...

Also, the third cat delete is not connected to any sensor.

It's not a dumb question at all. It's an understandable concern. In the US, consumers of automobiles are protected by the The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. It gives us the right to use non-original parts without voiding factory warranties. This comes into play a lot for aftermarket exhausts...

I'd agree, but they don't complain about the Harleys' noise. They just don't think the Emira needs any more. I think it does... Mateo

Not yet. I ordered a pipe, but I haven't decided if I need it. I have two Harleys, one a 1200cc Sportster 48 and one a 1850cc Softail. Both have aftermarket exhausts and are rather loud, yet my wife and son insist that the Emira is loud enough with just the Milltek. M

It's American slang for 8 thousands of an inch, 0.008", or 8 mill. I never use it because it's confusing if someone else is using millimeters. I was just kidding around. :) M

Wow. That's mighty thick!!!

Completely worth it. And quite simple to do. I did it just last week with the car on the ground. Use (I think) a #6 or #8 Torx bit to loosen the rearmost bolts. It's an easy plug and play. I simply zip-tied the cables to the mesh grille behind the license plate. I really took my time and...

I apologize for being dense, but where does the oter end of that USB cable plug into? Thanks!

Everyone measures tire pressures cold. Except here. :) Mateo

Just because my Emira shows tire pressure to the tenth of a PSI doesn't mean it's accurate to within a tenth of a PSI. When I have more free time, I'll measure the car's reading against a really good pressure gauge. And do it cold. Matt

I've never heard of checking tire pressure hot. Is this a Lotus thing? How do you know how hot the tire is? Matt

I installed the Milltek exhaust valve controller. Fairly easy to do and completely worth it! Third cat bypass is next up. Matt

If they were cute girls... ;)

Thank you for the distinction. I couldn't understand why I ended up pay less than expected for my Emira. It turns out that it was a first generation car!

I should have taken more pictures. But I took the important one: what the nose looks like without the badge in place. Any emblem, original or ORM replacement, has an adhesive backing and two plastic pins. It's very easy to remove. While they are tradition emblem removers, I can't see how...

Are there any "forged" carbon fiber pieces available, especially for the interior? The classic CF weave is looking (to me) really dated. The forged stuff, as seen on Lamborghinis, looks organic and flows better and is in harmony with the Emira's design. The weave was on my Dad's very old M3...

(Mine is a MUCH less impressive image than the previous one by Magicman at the Nurburgring!)

I'm picking mine up today!
