Who here has tracked their Emira?

[Blackthought_]

Anyone here track their Emira? If so, did you track the car 100% stock or did you upgrade parts? Particularly interested if you changed out the brake fluid, pads, tires, etc.

Just an update, the EBC Blues did fine at autocross. Enough bite and modulation. Actually stopped making noise after a few runs of aggressive driving.

I have the same with Castrol SFR, I just find the couple perfect, yesterday a Trackday at Monza, where brakes are under heavy HEAVY stress, today at Mugello and no signs whatsoever of minor performances or even worst fade!

Or most probably I’m such a pussy at the track that I do not put them under enough work!!!!!

 

[Tracked Emira]

Yes, I’m on OEM rotors but they don’t seem to have any weird deposits.

I’m tracking the Nitron Clubsports on May 5, I’ll have some feedback then. I didn’t get the axle lift since it’s quite expensive and I’m not lowering the car.

Good morning and good luck tracking today on the Nitrons! We all can’t wait to hear your feedback.

I put some feedback and a track video here:

Emira track impressions

@OppositeLock are you still on the stock oil pan? Yes. Is there a reason to change it?

On the road, the ride is harsh, but not horrible. On the track, it makes the car wake up. I no longer regret selling my Elise after this suspension upgrade.

Tracked my emira for the first time, just past the break in period. Ran 3 X 20 mins sessions, by the 4th one I notice the driver side pads has 2-3mm left on one end and 5-6mm on other end they are completely wedged from uneven wear. The other side is at about 5mm even on the pad… I know the OE pads suck, but do anyone notice uneven wear? Running stock fluid.

 

[OppositeLock]

Brake pads rarely wear completely evenly on the track - the leading edge tends to go quicker, and yes, the OEM pads are no good for tracking. Try some EBC RP-1. They're quite good, and not too bad on the street, no major squeaking, just occasional reminders that they're track pads.

I have almost 200 track days. At least on Nissan GTRs, the pads wear relatively evenly, most but not all of the time. On my (only) two track days on the Emira, both oem pads and EBC RPX pads both wore unevenly.

 

[OppositeLock]

Mine wear unevenly too, but not too badly. My Elise pads wore unevenly as well, as did the ones in my Focus RS. I just assumed it's normal.

I switched to EBC yellow pads for this season…last year, the OEM pads threw chunks of pad material. The EBC yellows seem to be wearing evenly (enough) for having done 2 track days so far this season.
