Thanks, I figure the engine might be the most reliable part of the car so it's not a huge gamble.

Does anyone have insight on the warranty/emissions implications of this? I'm just about to get this myself. (in the USA for what it's worth)

Update: It sat for a month with the battery still connected as normal. On the first start it cranked, but then the motor sputtered out. Second attempt it cranked, I gave it some gas, and it started running and I may now sleep tonight. It had a limited telemetrics error at first, which cleared on...

Did you disconnect the battery or just leave everything as is and let it drain?

Thanks all. I'm actually thinking leaving the battery connected and just letting it die might be better than trying to unhook the battery from the car. The thing I think I'm most afraid of is not the battery dying, but the car being completely cut from power and that messing up the electrical...

Hi all, Long story short, I don't have access to a plug outlet (and it seems vehicle storage units don't allow them either). So I have no choice but to let my Emira sit for over a month with no charger. My thought is to disconnect the battery while in storage. A couple of questions: Is that an...

Has anyone had any experience with an emissions inspection (USA) and/or any sort of warning lights or warranty concerns while having the cat delete pipe? Really want to do this but don't want to have to uninstall/reinstall it for an emissions test or have warranty rejections or complications...

It's so hard to get a finger on this color, every picture I see of it looks entirely different. I've seen a few that have me convinced that it's the best color of them all when it hits right, and then I see another picture that looks completely different. Really going back and forth on this one.

They just told me to do so yesterday, and I sent in my config today! It seems like either they or I dropped the ball, I was under the impression they would contact me when the time came. I should have been more vigilant about watching this forum! Nothing else I can do about it but wait and...

Interesting. This is in the Midwest USA so the volume thing is plausible. They had quoted me 18 months back in April, and I believe that in the Fall they had been quoting new deposits at 12 months so I'd still technically be in that window. It also wouldn't necessarily surprise me if some...

I placed a deposit in April last year, test drove one in October, and haven't really heard anything since. Judging by some of the other dates quoted here it seems like something may have gone wrong? Now that I've contacted them again I wonder if the order will magically resurface...

I've had a deposit order accepted, so that's a start! Has anyone recently done the same and gotten any kind of delivery window?

Thanks for the info. Such a wildcard on the delivery window!

Hello all, Needless to say, I'm strongly considering putting down a deposit very soon (joy!). Just a mere 18 months to prospective delivery. Just wanted to do a little reconnaissance ahead of it. Apologies if this has been asked to death as I'm not a frequent forum user: Deposit leniency -...
