    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Thanks a lot for the insights @brainf18 ... decided to check them out and ordered a set, but will probably take a few weeks to arrive. Once I've swapped them on, I'll come back and chip in with my impressions too 👍

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Good try. I gave it a "wow" reaction anyway. Initially I was baffled why there were no skid marks behind or in front, or how somebody could have hit you (while parked) and yet sprayed debris backwards and not moved the vehicle... :D Pro tip for next year. Include skid marks in the prompt.

    Paint issues? Does Your Car Live in a Garage or Outside?

    If only... on my Feb 2024 build, first blister appeared a couple of weeks ago.

    I’m building a fully custom Infotainment UI

    Argh, that's frustrating... I feel for you. As is often the case, Google giveth, and Google taketh away 😞

    Engine radiator burst !!!

    Agree, though looking at the picture, and the fact the split is lengthways rather than across the hose, makes me wonder if it accidentally got slashed with a box cutter (when unpacking a bunch at the factory).

    For those of you who like stripes and stickers

    I appreciate that everyone has different tastes, but... yikes. The black and gold I could possibly warm up to if it were kitted out as an actual track car, but the yellow one... 😬

    Adding a subwoofer

    Yeah, not surprised, sadly. I think the issues here are threefold: the sub is not a KEF-manufactured driver (based on info here at least), it is a free-air configuration (i.e. there is no "enclosure", just inside the cabin and outside the cabin), and it is a 6x9 (which means fewer options...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Fair shout. I actually ended up giving Peek metal polish a try, and was pretty pleased given the nearly-zero effort I went to this time. I'll probably give it a more serious go when I next work on the car (and maybe test some BKF).

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    The sun was out this weekend, so I finally crawled into the boot and fitted my GRP short shifter kit, and so far my TLDR review is that it feels great. Generally much tighter feel, and 1-2 is very much improved, which is a nice surprise. The most invaluable tool in this endeavour was a...
