My wife just go the call from Las Vegas Auto Gallery. Her car should be there tomorrow or Saturday, and should be ready to pick up on Monday. Need to find flights… 🤔 9/13/2021 deposit 12/15/2023 locked in spec date 5/13/2024 landed in Baltimore

It was my understanding that they were meant for early depositors as a consolation for the delayed manufacturing process they had to endure. I believe they actually had a note in the box at some point acknowledging this. Could be wrong on all that though, since I’ve never seen one in person.

There are way too many aero bits on this car for my taste. Looks like the screw on body kits from the early 2000s. Lambos are too angular and harsh with their body lines… I would pass on any Lambo in favor for a Ferrari. They’ve always has had models I like. Everyone has their own tastes...

My wife never received hers either. Deposit was 9/15/2021. Didn’t bother to email anyone… don’t care all that much 🤷🏽‍♂️

For those of us in the U.S. reporting blistering issues can we get build dates for your cars? Your build date should be in the door sill of your car where the door latches to the body. I’d really like to see if these are earlier produced Emiras, or if the problems will persist regardless of...

The good news is the examples of this showing up in Emiras have been majority UK cars… the bad news is the U.S. market is still new. I think the U.S. will also have issues within the next year, but that remains to be seen. Whether or not the affected panels have been fixed from the supplier is...

This is a great forum of helpful people. Kudos to those that are willing to take time out of their busy days to fulfill small requests like this that are absolutely helpful, even if only to a few people. @73JPS @LuckysDad

Not sure if anyone has mentioned Raceng shift knobs, but they’re quality, weighted knobs… I replaced my stock Porsche knob and it feels a lot better in the hand, and it’s heavy, so it has a nice feel rowing through gears. If there was ever an exception to shaving weight on a car I’d say a...

Good for you, but I didn’t post in response to you or your post topic… I posted in response to KAR120C (post #7) We are allowed to have an open dialogue with people other than the original poster. I know you may believe you can moderate who posts comments in threads you originate, but this is...

One of our older neighbors seems to only open his garage, walks around the car and looks, sometimes he dusts it… then he closes his garage back up again. The only time I’ve seen him drive it is when he backs it up to wash it. Then right back into the garage. It’s a C7 Corvette. No offense to...

Well, shit man you aren’t talking about a picture of your spouse after just waking up… it’s a car, and pics are always helpful even when it’s not pretty 😂 FYI, there are products out there you can use to clean up tips. P&S Brake Buster will remove grime and some corrosion along with being...

Sorry to see this on your car, and yet another instance reported 😯 What was your build date?

The diaper is the water shield they developed to cover the AC fan resistor…

There has been no rhyme or reason. Some have gone from hitting port to their dealers in a few weeks, and some a few months. I don’t think there has been any sort of “average” time between port and dealer. My wife’s Emira was also on the 5/13 boat. Her dealer rep informed her a week later on...

My wife had one of these in her Lexus and she could fit a number of different cups, Hydroflasks, mugs… https://a.co/d/iApDiC6 Her car was an automatic though, so she really only had to worry about shifting out of park. Not sure it would work in a manual car. It makes your rear cup holder much...

Brother, if you’re considering doing your own oil changes you win in my book. Show that car some love! I’m just trying to help with some options. Choose whatever oil you feel is right for you. I’m not here to dissuade or argue with anyone.

Yeah, but the link I provided is 10 quarts of Mobil 1 for $50. You get two 5 quart jugs in that order. *It’s also sold and shipped directly from Amazon

Well, it’s currently significantly less 💰. I’m sure people will say Mobil 1 is inferior, Pennzoil is better, etc.. but Mobil 1 0W-40 is what Porsche recommends for my car anyway, and it’s what I’ve used for years. Whether that’s wrong or right I’ll leave to the oil nerds to make that argument...

Thought I’d post this here as well for those doing their first oil changes. $5 per quart is about as low as I’ve seen it… stock up! Here’s the link: https://a.co/d/dopbAl1

If ya REALLY wanna stock up on oil… Amazon consistently has good prices without holiday sales. I typically buy when I see the 5 quarts in the upper 20 dollar range. Here’s the link: https://a.co/d/jclppnW

Looks like it serves its purpose… and thanks to you for the real world example on the Emira showing it works.

Someone else correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that the Milltek controller gives you the option of opening up the valve 100% even at idle… and If you do not install the valve and only the cat delete your OEM valve will only open up fully when in the upper rev range. So you...

Reported video of @Kimmax after the fan repair: 🤣

I purchased this for some chipped powder coated railing at the recommendation of @Porter… the stuff stays lubricated with a layer that has lasted through a few pelting rain storms and sun since applied. It doesn’t look like it’s easily worn off, and appears to be one of those top notch products...

This is an interesting lift 🤔 Not sure it would work for us unless we back up both cars into our garage. Do you mind sharing what it cost?

Your listed reasons are why we’re looking at Advantage Lifts. The engineering and design look better thought out for quality and safety than other 4 posts. I’ve watched tons of YouTube videos on Advantage, and their small engineering details are great selling points for us. The DX-9000 has more...

Yeah, in this instance you could have had a known Emira issue compounded by another known Emira issue. Glad your AC is fine 👍🏽 I’m honestly considering drilling holes in strategic places on these doors to avoid any issues related to improper drainage. I truly believe the water in the doors is a...

My concern with this would be is the fan resistor pack already damaged when they put the protective diaper on it, or is it in 💯 working condition? I’d hope they’d replace the diaper AND the resistor just to be safe. A lot of the cars are experiencing partial failures that aren’t really evident...

I believe if you’re aware of a documented TSB the car manufacturer will correct the issue upon your request. Otherwise, they will fix problem cars as they come in for maintenance or other issues you might be bringing your car in for that are unrelated to the TSB (like a software update). This...

My thoughts exactly. Recalls tend to only be issued when the issue results in a real world reportable incident like the Cybertruck gas pedal sticking recently, or something similar. The news reported it and it was not a good look for Tesla. The recall is either initiated by the manufacturer...

It might be in your best interest and also more convenient to try and have it repaired. When someone backed into my M3 I was told by the shop fixing it that they COULD replace with an OEM bumper, but then the original VIN sticker on the bumper would be sacrificed for the replacement, and it...

Others have had their modules pinned wrong as well. Milltek needs to do better QC before sending these out.

These cars sound finicky as the Emira has been having electrical gremlins. Others have reported the light coming on then resolving itself after some driving. Recommendation would be getting an inexpensive OBDII scanner that has the ability to scan, read, and clear trouble codes and CELs. This...
