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.

Would be nice to meet the Kansai area folks, but since it’s a quarter-end, I may not be able to go.

Found this posted on Facebook. Looks like it's open to all Lotus owners - no details published yet, maybe we'll hear more about it later this month at the Fuji Speedway event. link to Facebook event page ==> For those wondering, Arashiyama-Takao Parkway is in Kyoto.

If they're replacing the front loom, you might want to ask if they could route an additional grounding cable to connect all the grounding points of the loom with the negative terminal of the battery. No guarantee that it will prevent future electrical issues, but if the car is in pieces now...

Went out to meet @shin73 and receive our tow hooks, and eat tofu (tofu kuu). Hope to see you all soon (how about Izu ?) 「トウ・フックで豆腐食う」の会にご参加の皆様お疲れ様でした！次は伊豆あたりでソフトクリームを食べましょう！
