What did you do to your Emira today?

Andrew's kit was held by Italian customs for 18 days, it is now at his local post office (maybe) where it continues to be held hostage, so the saga hasn't ended yet lol.

The other 2 were going to the UK, one has arrived safely and the other one is still in transit for the 2nd time! so 2 down 2 to go! 🤞
 
Did handling change or improve for you? I assume you are doing a kind of track build?

I find the OEM sports setup totally sufficient for street driving.
I agree the OEM sport setup is not bad but would like to get rid some of the rear bouncing. The upgrade gives me a more crisp reaction on road feel and a slightly better steeling feel as well. Haven't get the time to really compare how much improvement there is but so far I like it. This is just my weekend car and I only track few times a year so I am not going crazy with all the suspension upgrade but I might do bump steer correction kit just to get faster steering.
 

GoFastBits (GFB) Atmospheric Blow Off Valve (BOV) installed this morning, now time for a test drive...



****Edit, after Drive**** "Yep, me very much like!!"

Yes! You will need a 3mm allen (hex) and T20 torx bit, but no other special tools. Detailed instructions linked in post #1 of the "Custom MagSafe Wireless Charger" thread.
Great to hear that. I’ll do it as soon as I get my hands on the item, and as soon as I get back the car from ppf servicing.
 
Yeah unfortunate, but many thanks for sharing your experience anyway as it helps our fellow forum members. I suspect that these dongles, like with most electronics, are a work in progress and should continue to improve over time, but it could also be due to incompatibility with the Emira's system rather than glitches of the dongle itself. Who knows...
Quick update on this: I gave a chance to the Ottocast and tested it in my daily, Audi Q2. It works like a charm. So yes, definitely something is not working with the Emira's system, both when using its internal wireless and when using the Ottocast (which, again, is now proven to be working fine). It's just weird that this system has no standard, like it works flawlessly for some of us, works meh for others, and does not work for others as well. Same car, same system, and more often than not, same phone.
 
Finally decided on which side to mount my phone :LOL:

Installed the GRP dry media high flow filter and the JB4 Tuner with the stealth mounting bracket.

No screws lost to the abyss :)

Test run with the car felt great!!! Especially with the 93 octane tune.

Now waiting on the new wireless connect kit that will allow me to not have to run the OBDII cable.

Will take a small break after this to plan the next changes.
 
Weather cleared up, and temps got up to the 50's so took the car out. I got a new iPhone 17 Pro, and connected it to the car; settings>connect>bluetooth>iPhone and chose Carplay when it asked, and it worked! First time I've ever been able to get wireless Carplay to work. Drove around for an hour and there wasn't a single glitch. I had the JB4 app and Waze running the whole time. I'm using IOS 26.1. My previous phone was an iPhone 12 Pro.
 
Got my Emira back (once again) from ppf service. It's looking good! And I finally had the tow hook on a lathe to try and get it straight. Maybe it's not perfect, but it's way better than before and totally acceptable to me!
