📓 Journals kitkat's Emira

[308tr6]

Had a 1.5” thick headrest pad upholstered to match the custom tillet ones. They’re mounted on velcro so they tear off to put the custom tillet pads on for track days. I always felt the thin pads were a little weird for street driving. This is perfect now!View attachment 87540

I notice the Lotus emblem on the Tillet seats, is that a laser engrave you did or custom from them? Like that look!

These are just vinyl black decals of the lotus logo I placed, they act as a scratch protector on the seat from my hans device.

OK gotcha, the pic looked to me like they were almost embedded in the carbon somehow. Anyway then, nice sticker! I will probably ask Steve if I can get a custom headrest with the Lotus logo instead.

Incase anyone was interested in OEM brake cooling for their Emira one of the sport 420 features are brake ducts up front. They’re perfectly fitted for the control arm and come pre-clearanced for tires, although I’m not sure if I’ll have to trim them more for my 9.5” wheels or not.

I used metal black coated zip ties for mine.

Is it a copy of JUBUs?

Is it a copy of JUBUs?

No, they're different, same idea as Jubu as well as the 911 ones -- but it's OEM with perfect fitment and it costs 10x less than Jubu.

Dumb question incoming. How do you order these in the US? Do you just ask the dealer? A few mins of searching yielded not found.

You can feel free to ask your dealer to order and even install if you want. Just give them the part numbers, I ordered them at Bell and Colvill, they had a 3 week wait though. It took me 15 minutes to install them.

Thanks for sharing! Does the 420 Sport come with rear brake ducts too like JUBU's?

Nope, just front brake ducts, I looked and didn't see anything for the rear end -- and I think most people aren't going to need rear brake ducts.

 

[jbug187]

Is the duct held on with zip ties?

Yes the OEM one come with OEM zip ties , I’m using metal coated ones.

I’ll be making a new thread in the coming weeks with instructions on how to install some newly acquired parts from Darkworks Design

Time to get full use of those tires!

Upper control arms front and rear and rear toe links. Going to have all the camber I could ever want and the rear toe stability and strength to not be worried I’m going to snap a rear toe arm and total my car on track.

I also have a couple new sets of wheels coming for track use with a new finish that steel wool can't even scratch. Lots of downtime for me this winter as I'm getting my Ohlins TTX repaired because I mucked up the thread and also one of my front dampers has a leak from the piston head.
