wow! Are you the highest mileage Emira at the moment? I haven't seen any up to that point yet. Congrats!
What did you do to your Emira today?

I must be. I can’t imagine anyone with more. I’ve had it only since Oct 2024. Not even two years. Zero commute miles. All pleasure. And I use every single ounce of the rev range all the time! I’d love to know who else is putting their Emira to use like I am! I’d wanna shake their hand.
By the way, love your videos. Been following the seat install series and the Tail. Good to see you incorporate your lady in the approval test for the seats. Tillett’s are next for me!
Thank you! When the lady says they are comfortable...... well, there must be some truth to it
. I use the smack out of mine. I'll be right up there with you soon enough! Now you have me looking into these shift linkages and inertia weights

Absolutely! I did 26k miles in my GT4 and my 718 Spyder in the Porsche carbon buckets and hands down, supportive seats trump cushioned seats in terms of comfort. We don’t realize how much we brace and adjust and compensate for weight transfer in a normal drive. Supportive seats that hug you relieve all that pressure.Thank you!

Feel free to hit me up. I’d love to compare notes and experiences about the shifter journey I’ve been on. Shift knob, boot delete, floating console, GRP short shifter, these weights and linkages, fluids. I’ve done it all to try and get somewhere closer to FL5 Type R or Porsche GT care levels of shift precision. Still a LONG ways away, sadly.
Where did you get carbon ceramics? Do they offer carbon brake pads? Please provide links.

Thanks, how long have you had them? How are they compared to stock? And i assume much less brake dust??
Just installed them this week, did pad bedding yesterday. Brake feel isn't really changed compared to stock, or at least not in a way that is super noticeable like you'd get with dedicated track pads.
Car feels better overall due to the reduced unsprung weight and maybe a bit better accel. Dust wise, we'll have to see but yes in general I would expect far far less dust.
Took off the wheels and cleaned the inner barrels and gave them a good scrub (though once dry it was clear i need to touch up some spots) and we'll see, but I expect I'll effectively not really need to clean them again beyond spraying them down when I wash the car.

Went for a quick cruise into the mountains to get through some break-in miles.
Thanks, Keep us posted on your results. Something i will look to get next year.
By any chance did you weigh them? I just installed RacingBrake's CCB rotors and pads on mine, and there was quite a difference in braking. Very linear with no sudden grabbing.
Would be interested to see what you think of the transmission mounts and if you notice a difference!
Washed it after almost two months. I had almost forgotten how this car looks.
Installed milltek decat and valve controller - imo that's all you need. It's pretty loud, specially the pops lol.
Switched to EBC Redstuff, less dust but even thought it's not as bad as the OEM pads I'm still getting squealing. Cleaned the rotors and everything. Might need to get that checked out by a shop. - I did ding backside of the rear caliper when reinstalling the pins, just not a lot of room lol.
Overall I'm very happy with the car now. After the warranty is over, then I'll do the full suite of mods lol.

Amazing. I’ve run into you once at a stoplight in Rocklin. PM me if you’re up to meet at a local cars and coffee one of these mornings. Would love to hear about your experience over those 40k miles!
Got the RacingBrake CCB's installed on the car, and bought a new wood shift knob.

Very nice summary Eagle - so high level; if I'm reading correctly you picked up 30 wheel HP. With Cat delete, Intake mod , exhaust rework, and JB4?

Bought the car in May of last year with 12k km. So I'm at about 1000km per week on average.
Did your technician mention anything regarding the idler pulleys? Mine will be replaced because they have started making some noises.
