Evotion Spotted - Matt Red Emira

[Jon Fuller]

Spotted Mr @Evotion out in his (MATT) Magma Red Emira today

[Evotion]

Ah ha!  

M1 or M25?

 

I was at Donnington on my first track day!

I will paste in what I put in the EF.

This is me, much relieved after surviving the track day unscathed.

Yeah , yeah... I know.... You thought this was Tom Cruise in Top Gun on the runway. 😬 

I will go into the details , with full track action, in the video but, in short:

• The car is a weapon around bends - even on Goodyears
• Acceleration out of bends is not amazing BUT the grip helps out
• Missed a few gears - of course
• Engine gets hot!
• Makes a great noise
• Hits the rev limited A LOT!
• The brakes start off great and go downhill fast - well, they seem to lose their bite but you do stop, just a tad scary
• I don't like other cars around me

Oh, and the most important thing...

NO CAYMANS OVERTOOK ME

They're huge AP calipers and good pads, sounds like the fluid may have boiled though, is your brake pedal spongy now?

Pop some Motul RBF660 or similar in there with a good bleed to get all the air out, should help.

Was matte finish a factory paint option?

[Bibs]

It's a wrap I think! Not a factory paint option.

Fine now. I am getting the whole car checked at B&C anyway - needs an update, pad looked at and the usual electrical gremlins.

It is a stealth PPF. 

Took away a lot of the metallic fleck. I was a bit taken aback at first glance.

However, in the flesh, it really does something amazing with the curves.

People were loving it at Supercar Fest. 

At some point, it will be next to the original colour, or many of them, and perhaps stand out!  we will see.

Ah yeah. I got diverted after a road closure I think.

Was I speeding? I took it easy on the way home.

Alas, I still have not got my full exhaust system - missing a needed part so will go back for fitting in 2 weeks or so.

[Jon Fuller]

No speeding, you were just at the junction with the bypass at the sunbury end.

[Evotion]

AH, you are in Weybridge near me. 

You may have seen me in one of my car terrorising the high street then. 😄

[Jon Fuller]

Yeah, I'm just off Oatlands Drive.  Should have the Emira in August, so sure we'll cross paths. From your vids, looks like you're near Hersham Halfway.

[Evotion]

Ah cool. 

Look out for when I get my full exhaust system and you can pop round and hear it! 😄

[Jon Fuller]

Probably hear it from Weybridge!
