Not arguing with anyone really. Just sharing my honest opinion. I agree that the price is steep, but you don't have to do it. You don't have to buy that $15 pack of cigarettes if you can get it for $7. Anytime you go aftermarket, you take a risk. The guy in Alaska made his choice, he didn't...

Mistakes are literally the best learning.. the bigger the mistake .. the better you learn. These people calling someone out over a social media post, any good leader will look at it and see the cowardice. Its lame and it signals weakness. If you cant see it … then its you. I guarantee you 10...

Look the fact if the matter is… JUBU doesnt really have a competitor doing the same thing.. Its just silly. I find it a huge waste of time even entertaining all this. And, even the greatest players in sports have made huge mistakes in games. And, so have the best companies only to bounce...

Purchase coming soon

You know, Cup 2s have probably been discussed to the point of nausea. But there are always fresh faces coming in, and sometimes, you don't really get it.. until you try it for yourself. The Fishtail A few days ago, I had some free time and decided to make my way up to Tail of the Dragon...

I totally agree with the final drive. I think it's a game changer. The gears feel long for me. I don't understand when people say they feel like they need more room up top. I mean, yes, staying longer in the power band is great, but it still feels slightly longer to get there compared to...

Thanks for clearing things up on that @hellasf1 . We definitely want facts. That's not a shot at anyone. Just saying facts.. are facts. To share an update, I've purchased a couple more things from JUBU. Not all this may be necessary for my setup, it's just peace of mind, and most of it...

Exactly the look I was going for.. Thank you

Then why aren’t we all getting tunes and rebuilds from Fas-tx?

I do agree here. Ideally, this should be the standard and what I would strive for.

Generally speaking, the US, aside from maybe Japan, has probably some of the best customer service. We are a bit spoiled from it, not saying thats a bad thing, but Ive learned to temper my expectations when I’m abroad. Most of the vendors here, with due respect, are simply selling parts...

If it was truly an embarrasment, they wouldn’t put it on social media. This is obviously an honest company with the courage to admit mistakes.. 👋

Alaska seems to have some special fuel compositions due to the weather. Never knew that. Understandable that a small team from Austria could overlook that. Yea, I actually found the pictures more admirable than concerning. Plus, they learned something. Great teamwork, courage and humility.

The gold actually looks way better than the pics that were up before the shipment. They look great. Can you post pictures of the silver? I've been waiting for those. Regardless, purchase coming soon.

I agree with this exactly. Having VF somewhere on the product is absolutely fair but making it really prominent is definitely a turn-off and ultimately a questionable business decision if you are trying to maximize sales. Just my opinion.. You do as you please. With the whole one-off thing...

I went back to the site, yes you are correct .. there seem to be parts that do not have instructions on the page. All the parts I purchased, did have instructions. My guess is, they either haven't gotten around to those or they have some reason for it. For me, it's not a big deal but if...

Preface: I definitely use some sarcasm on my posts and sometimes .. since it is the INTERNET, I have a happy little trigger finger. At the same time, I do like being direct and honest... I'm gonna chalk all this up as "I got them good, and they got me good." Time to move on... To the point...

Yea .. GRP delete. Absolutely money well spent. I’m definitely targeting the Aerie headers and will probably purchase right after I get my initial JUBU parts. Headers plus 3rd cat/exhaust on the Emira seems to be producing the F1 sound that you hear in the Valvetronic videos. Sounds...

I did see that in a thread and I was actually considering it. Is there an exhaust you recommend?

Just to calm things down a bit. There does seem to be some legitimate concern from forum members about JUBU customer service and product offering. I think it's a bit exaggerated and sometimes downright misplaced. But, I do respect the fact that there are some concerns here. In fairness, I do...

Can I do like a one-off piece if I pay extra? I want mine with LOTUS V6 and SUPERCHARGED underneath. No VF logo so that you can't be blamed or sued by Lotus. I'll sign the NDA.

Just being objective .. he didn't dismiss all criticism. He to the contrary, acknowledged JUBU made some mistakes in the beginning and that some people had bad experiences but that JUBU worked to solve the issues and most of them were resolved. ON THE OTHER HAND <-- MAJOR EMPHASIS HERE...

@VF Tuner The "Supercharged" that you have on the lid in your pic... that actually looks good to me. "Emira" or "Emira V6" up top in a different color, probably silver, and "SUPERCHARGED" on bottom probably in silver but lid color would work too.. for me personally would be ideal.. Maybe a...

I was under the impression that "Emira" couldn't be used.. but if it can.. That's definitely the way to go. Neutral on the "VF" part. That's not a knock on VF. Just never been a big fan of branding but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me personally. Honestly, it's starting to look...

Not gonna argue with you here..

Yea.. I don't know.. I emailed JUBU but got the automated on vacation response... They should be back in the office by now.. will update tomorrow.

Yea .. you know.. they do seem to be sitting a little higher than everyone else.. if you know what I mean.. but they've seemed to also show a decent amount of responsibility and care to some customers..

I do agree on this.. I was thinking the same thing .. but then I thought... parts from Lotus direct.. probably take months... But I would prefer this yes.

This thread's got a little spice! EDIT: Just to be clear.. I'm not trying to disparage you @mikemc .. I'm just being really honest and very direct. I do think you are knowledgable.. but doesn't mean you're right about all of it.

This is not true. Clearly stated by someone on this forum who had a great experience.

1) "You've put yourself in a microcosm of extremely limited information" a bit exaggerated but okay I won't argue against that. I am pretty busy daily. 2) "JUBU is not directly partnered with Lotus." You sure about this?.. It sure looks like they have some sort of business relationship. I...

Finally, I'm gonna add this.. you ever buy your gf or wife something really nice that was overpriced? I mean you could have bought something of the same quality for a lot less... sometimes people just buy into the marketing.. I can guarantee you are all guilty of it. Doesn't mean its the end...

Look, it seems like some of you guys wanna put the 2GR and Lotus on a pedestal... I'm a realist .. it's a nice car but it is far from perfect. We are talking about a V6 engine that goes in a Camry. We are talking about a car company that is causing plenty of people with headaches, lost time...

Now, if you wanna talk about the high prices.. I agreed with that. But I'm fine with it. You can't get mad at someone for selling something out of your budget. If it's truly that awful... the market will take care of itself. JUBU seems to have a partnership and some form of working...

Take that microscope to all the other businesses selling parts.. same shizzz.. they are businesses selling parts.. and marketing parts... W...T...H...??? Am I missing something?

Mike, I'm not against you but let's get some clear info... 1) The MR2 weighs like 700lbs less. We had a couple of guys on this forum who had broken axles.. One was stock .. one was JB4 after a clutch dump. So, if the Emira has bad batches of cars with bad axles... shouldn't they be...

I've considered it. I have a manual and I've seriously considered going AMG and I'm a manual guy through and through.. didn't even look at the AMG when I bought the manual. Probably won't, but if there is a serious facelift in 2027 with a V8... adios V6.

Didnt know it was there .. okay then........ EDIT: TBH, I've opened the boot once. Been busy driving... Sometimes you hit... sometimes you miss... Dear moderator, can you delete this thread ASAP! (y)

I recently purchased a GRP Tow Strap Kit. I'm really digging the vertical strapped around the base look and I got mine in black for more of a stealth aesthetic. I had a flat tire on two occasions with my previous car (FL5). The first time I had it towed and ended up with a seriously...
