I did this

Anyone going to a meetup this weekend?

I got it washed and the ppf touched up last night. Odo is at 280 right now. I also got in some infill paint so Im going to paint the shift pattern in tonight or tomorrow. Gotta get some miles in this weekend.

So interestingly enough in my stuff included with the car is a clear zip tie in a bag. Anyone know what that is for. I'm thinking it may be to attach this panel.

I made sure the Emira was drivable on my regular sneakers on the test drives. I wear an adidas size 10.5. I would like to get a nicer pair of driving shoes but its not high on my priority list.

Thats probably the new green they were taking preorders for. It looks nice. That said Im not sold on the bi color interior. Especially red with green. The painted tips are kinda cool though.

I've had cars sit way longer than 3 weeks and not get flat spots. I wouldn't worry about flat spots till you are in the multi month realm of storage. That said remember to check your pressures after a 3 week sit though.

Just did a nationwide search on autotrader for 2025s and there's a good selection of nice specs still out there. I still don't think they will deal too much as there's no inventory to replace what they sell but I imagine you can get a few bucks off. If your spec is available snag it up now...

Try them out in your garage with the lights off to test it.

I imagine if you tighten things up to zero play you may run into issues in the ease of use category. Probably best to aim for not much play vs no play. My shifter has a bit of wobble but still shifts pretty good. All the gears sit nicely with a notchy feel. Because of the wobble I tend to...

They only light up when its on Auto or on AC. So you can see them on or off. Its a white light thats hard to see during the day

Just wait till you kill your stock and then replace with this. Looks like they are currently running $319 on Amazon. If you wait till you need to replace anyways then you are really only paying the premium over a regular AGM which looks to be about $120 right now. Plus in theory these last...

That battery backup is a must. I ran a blackvue without the battery backup on a work truck for a year and it crushed the stock battery to where startups were a gamble. For the Emira I think Im going to run Garmin Mini 3s. Im hoping I can get some good side angles and run 4 of them.

For those interested, it appears Galpin has 2 of these listed at MSRP with no markup. There's a lot of photos too.
