It looks to me like a generic servicing recommendation, possibly not specific to the Emira. Changing the trans fluid every 5k miles or 6 months is extreme. That's what I do for engine oil, and that's still pretty often for high end full synthetics.
I plan on doing my first trans fluid change...
Debating pulling the trigger on this soon and am confused on the difference between the two wireless connection kits on GRP's website. Is the OBDII option no longer available? Or does the new JB4 Pro Adapter replace it? I definitely want all the active telemetry data the OBDII connection was...
I did the floating shifter about 9 months ago, and this new tray motivated me to dive back in to give it a more finished look. It took me less than an hour the first time so I thought this would be similarly quick. Sadly I was mistaken, and I was swearing the in garage for over 2 hours 😂 mostly...
Forgive my ignorance here but aren't the benefit of oil catch cans mostly useless in our port injected 2GR engines? The valves are constantly cleaned by the fuel, which is a natural solvent.
Unless folks are worried about oil vapor getting re-routed into the supercharger housing, I'm failing to...
Looking forward to seeing the weights on these. I have 75k miles and around a dozen track days on my girodiscs in a 4000lb EV and they've been absolute beasts.
The Emira's transverse engine configuration means the heavy transmission bell housing is to the left of the engine (behind the driver in left hand drive countries). This requires the engine to be offset to the right, and effectively counters any left/right weight bias that you're speaking of...
I'm apparently the opposite of most here and would have preferred I had saved the time and money on removing the 3rd cat since it didn't change much, maybe 10-20% louder to my ears. I also don't really enjoy the increased pops and burbles that come with it removed as I feel that's more fitting...
Cropped dashcam video screen grab of a white (I4?) Emira on Philips Hwy in Jacksonville today. First time spotting another in the wild after 14 months of ownership. Had to turn off before I could form up on them and wave, but assuming they saw me in their mirrors.
If you want to put driveshafts under the most stress, you put them in a transversely mounted, effectively rear-engined vehicle like the Emira. They're already a weak point in stock form just from a physics standpoint with the 61/39 weight distribution and awkward mounting angles. Add an...
