    Forward centre KEF Sound Stage

    I wish I could move the balance rearwards. Subjectively I also observe that different areas of the cabin seem to fill with audio in a different way as the volume is changed. On paper, I don't have hearing loss but I do have tinnitus so my experience of audio is a bit different..a little afraid...

    I4 - Check Transmission Oil Level?

    So I agree with Ray that it's especially worse/prone to doing this when cold but since I've past break-in, I've just not driven it as gently...though I suspect there will be more times in the future where I'll drive more calmly (after the thrill of being able to wind it out dies down) lol...

    Any way to fix the brake dust?

    Thank you. A different Emira owner confirmed the EBC pad is sitting off the inner radius of the rotor face. Separately another Emira owner with EBC red pads showed that there is a lip forming on the inner radius portion of the pad (which is sitting off of the rotor face). Someone else mentioned...

    Any way to fix the brake dust?

    I started to install a set of EBC Blue pads (for light track use) and planned to order some EBC Reds for street. The front pads fit perfectly, but the rear pads don't fully sit on the brake rotor. After talking with EBC and taking measurements, they still believe it is the right pad, but I'm...

    Oil Viscosity for the 2.0L i4 - Track Use

    How's 0w20 holding up on track? Has anyone experienced oil burning or sent off their oil for analysis after 1 or more events? Related, has anyone gone up in viscosity, what did you move to and how's it been?

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    If you believe this chart, then Blue NDX is the step above our OEM pads. Normal Blues are an equivalent to OEM pads. Yellows would be a step below. I will be trying the Blue NDX pads but I won't be swapping between pads during the same track day...at least I hope I don't have to due to...

    Uneven tire pressure changes?

    It'll depend on a lot of factors discussed, including, which heat exchanger/radiator in front of the front tires has more heat. On the V6 Manual, there's only one radiator but the i4 has 2 (one on each side).

    PPF QUARTER PANELS

    It looks like the standard pre-cut PPF template. The installer looks to have done an OK job joining the lines of the template itself. Pros of having all these relief cuts is the film is less stretched and less likely to lift in high tension areas. Cons are the relief cuts creates edges that can...

    Wireless Connection (In Settings)

    The wifi connection does nothing and we're not getting OTA updates as of today. You'll need to go to the dealer and some of these updates takes hours. Sucks cause it also means they cannot use their computer for something else. Not likely but it'll take yet another big update manually in order...

    KEF now a £1000 option!

    Do we even know if the non-KEF system sounds worse (subjectively/objectively)? I sort of don't need the booming sound of the seat belt chime at start up that we currently have going on! (yes I know I can belt up before starting lol)

    Emira track impressions

    Great write-up and thanks for sharing your journey and experiences in detail. As someone who is also local to NorCal tracks, please keep sharing and I will also do the same once I get out there later this year. Just a note on the pads, there are emiras, like mine in the states that come with...

    Chronic electrical issues on late 2024 build I4 First edition

    The Telematics thing happens for cars not driven often since the independent battery dies in the SOS unit. There should be a software update to suppress that warning unless the system is actually dead. I also had that issue on my Emira on pick-up - which made the sales person angry - but went...
