I was thinking about asking one of the Hong Kong based forum vendors about the wheels. As for tires, I would recommend sourcing them domestically. I don't think Shibatire ships internationally.

今日は比較的あたたかく、洗車がはかどりました。 It was a nice day today, great for a wash.

Finally cleaned off the track rubber from last Sunday.

To retain as much of the OEM geometry, I was thinking along the lines of 245/40R19 and 285/35R19 on custom ordered wheels with the same width and offsets as OEM wheels. For the 3.5 liter Emira V6, that would be 8.5x19 ET57 5x114.3 and 10.5x19 ET54 5x114.3 (the rears will be different for the 2...

In theory, yes. However you would have to remove them from the plastic bumper assembly to prevent melting. If you go through with that, it would be easier to just replace them with aftermarket blue tips... Or, you can sand blast and clean the OEM tips, and anodize them yourself (the Youtube...

No, first corner was an off-roading gravel experience :LOL: This was between turn 13 and 14. OEM Cup2 tires. Honestly, it's my driving skills not the tires.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Looks nice and sturdy, and a more "traditional" design. Doesn't solve the thread/flange length issue though...

Ah, I thought it resembled something...

Yikes! 250 JPY per liter...

Great turnout, with four Emiras in total entered, and a few more participating in the parade lap only.

wow

I will try to be at 海老名 SA (Ebina SA) by 07:30 for some coffee and メロンパン. Plan to leave at 08:00 for the 足柄 SA (Ashigara SA) "smart ETC gate", then stop by at ENEOS 駿河小山SS 山崎商事 (open from 07:00) to fill up on gasoline. Two 30 minute sessions will empty your tanks, and the gas station on the...

Is this a market specific thing? We have Emira sizes for the AD09 in Japan. https://www.y-yokohama.com/product/tire/advan_ad09_size/#inch20 On the other hand, we don't have Emira sizes for A052 (yet). https://www.y-yokohama.com/product/tire/advan_a052_size/#inch20

The ZL1 tow hook has about 1 turn less thread than OEM. I wouldn't recommend shortening the thread.

Your car may have more clearance. I doubt all Emiras have been manufactured to the same tolerances.

I too wanted an easy solution, but the washer would need to be very thin. Something with an inside diameter of 17mm (pretty common) and outside diameter of less than 19mm to clear the "lip" on the car. That's pretty thin. From my first pic you can see that I need another 1/8 of a turn (this...

For those of you who are struggling with "crooked" tow hooks, I may have identified the reason. After unsuccessfully trying the blunt force method, I noticed the markings (scratches) I had made on both the car and tow hook. Coarse measurement indicates the "ledge" to be somewhere between...

Two Dark Verdant drivers waved to each other at a Tokyo intersection this morning.

After a wash on a cold winter day.

Yeah, I was only looking at it as a one-day (Halloween ?) dress-up thing. Maybe I should do something Christmassy with my Dark Verdant when the season comes.

Folks, don't forget to bring: drivers license (運転免許証) health insurance card (健康保険証) FISCO license if you have one helmet gloves (flame resistant) flame resistant clothing (heavy gauge cotton is acceptable) Also need: towel or piece of cardboard (tape the transponder on it before placing in...

Found this online. Doesn't look half bad... https://x.com/CivicRasahi55/status/1887260911146295317
