Is your EMIRA your only sport car?

[geoffbland]

I have three sportscars.

05 Opel Speedster Turbo
bought with 207km from an Opel employee in 2006.

Love the VX200. It looks lowered too?

Yes, I have modified it quite heavily over the years. It‘s on coilovers with external reservoirs. It‘s been my weekend / project car for almost two decades now.

How much are you selling the e46?

I am trying to decide whether or not to sell it as is or take back to stock and put on BaT. My car is modified with mostly CSL parts which makes the car better in every way, but as you know, the car is worth more probably totally stock. I have about $20k in add-ons without labor.

This one that went on BaT last month is identical to mine aside from mine is the last model year '06 and black interior. Mileage is the same.

Not necessarily a sports car but awesome nonetheless. 1966 Mustang. 347 Stroker. Fuel Injection. Rack and pinion with coilovers. Four wheel disc. Loud and obnoxious.

Wow, great mechanical upgrades and wheels! What transmission and suspension?

QA1 suspension. Ford AOD trans. It’s been in my wife’s family for 30+ years. They purchased it for $300 with a tree growing through the fender. It started out as a straight 6. My wife and I have done bit by bit over the past five years. We just put in a Dakota Digital cluster. Looks factory until the gauges are lit up. Years, tears, sweat and $$$ later… It never ends lol

Since the Emira doesn’t come in targa.

Damn, that’s super clean. I’ve been looking to buy an S2000 for the last few months. Prices are crazy lol

Buy an Elise or even an Exige S2/S3

My daily driver qualifies as a sports car and is ironically lighter in weight than the Emira by a several hundred pounds. I supercharged it over 10 years ago and it's still going strong.

Similar story here, though my classic is a true sports car. It was bought new by my father in 1964 and completed a concours-level restoration in 2023. Like you I made several performance upgrades. It is the granddaddy and the Emira is the grandson.

That is a special car!!

Whoa! Supercharged the boxer engine? I owned and modded a couple Subaru STis as well as a couple Forester XTs. I love those boosted engines and never really had interest in the BRZ/FRS/GR86 because they were NA. I'd love to know more about this build.. Is it a readily available kit or custom?

Great cars to drive quickly around my hills area and on track(with light modifications)
Sold my 2023 ZD8 BRZ for my Emira.
PS also looked at Harrop supercharger but decided to go all out and have a V6 supercharger

I had this same supercharger kit on my BRZ many many years ago...

it was a readily available kit for some time, but apparently I was the buyer of the last one sold. The big plus living in San Francisco is that it is smog legal. I added a smaller pulley and have had zero problems with it in over 10 years of use. Edelbrock, Harrop, and Jackson Racing are among current suppliers of smog-compliant forced induction kits.

@BLUEMIRA I was searching high and low. Where did you get the Emira hood stripe from?

@BLUEMIRA

Hey there. I have a vinyl shop here in Ontario that specializes in PPF and vinyl graphics. I provided them the font from a link here on the forum and they did it up. I'll measure tomorrow but I believe I went with 6 inch stripe and 1/4 inch gold stripes either side spaced 1/4 inches away from main stripe. The gold was to match the wheels.
