    replacement GRP paddle shifters for i4

    They are all the same (Madtrace) with variations on the carbon part...I have the large ones. On the scale, the stock is on one side, mushy no click no sound. These are on the other side of that, very loud, very positive click, takes deliberate force to engage. If you have a sim it's the same as...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    sorry quick question you are based in the UK? I now realized all the early i4 review videos on YouTube in the UK and elsewhere all have the same sound...so I assume every i4 is doing this globally? makes sense otherwise there would be some easy way to turn it off

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    the latest is my installer found some information yesterday about a module in the engine bay on the driver's side with some pins out...he's gathering more info, hoping we'll eventually have a way to get rid off it. Software only option seems...unlikely the factory would do anything but who...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    My personal preference coming from the Alfa 4C is that you hear turbo noise, exhaust noise. Mine was VERY loud basically a straight pipe and very loud turbo and wastegate sounds. The M139 sounds great compared to other 4 cylinder engines, deeper a little more throaty. I much prefer it over the...

    Soundskins Pro Review (soundproofing/deadening)

    You can definitely do this in a weekend, couple days. Get a hold of the service manual it will explain how to take everything apart @docron did his rear firewall in a day. My installer did the doors and speaker wiring in a day and the rear on the 2nd day

    Speaker/Sub/Soundproofing Installation pics

    oh but yes! the noise floor...that stuff did work really well definitely recommend doing the rear firewall and quarter areas as well as the double layers in the doors. Very noticeable reduction in road noise -

    Speaker/Sub/Soundproofing Installation pics

    oh it basically stopped here due to the fake engine noise signal the Emira (I4 AMG) puts out through the DSP. It's so loud the subwoofer basically rattles the windows when the engine is running. Right now I have the entire system disconnected because that fake engine/exhaust noise is so...

    I4 tuning box development - who wants one?

    Thank you for the update! this is mega...and the reason I chose (and probably others) the AMG platform because it in theory should be way easier to tune than the aged V6 platform. Thanks for your information excited to hear progress

    Anyone having trunk issues?

    Same here, service adjusted the latch, trunk closes like it should without having the body slam it lol

    KEF Audio Upgrade Parts - Now Available!

    @KJWEmira do you know where we can get full wiring schematic for the I4 audio system, specifically what's going into the DSP unit? Lotus service said UK told them the fake engine noise is being put out directly by the DSP, so something must be feeding it rpm signal. Just continuing on our quest...

    Pinging (?) high gear in touring mode

    100%! reason I posted is the most people will commute/daily in the Touring mode in automatic, and the programming will go as high a gear as possible and especially on the highway you'll be going 50-60 already in 7th gear and you can hear the engine pinging. Car is much happier near 3k at least...

    Pinging (?) high gear in touring mode

    it's pinging...might be a California 91 octane thing, I don't normally lug the engine at such low rpm's but good for people to know to avoid
