Extending the other side may be easier and cheaper...

Went to the Hakone mountains this afternoon, with visions of my Emira darting around narrow, winding mountain roads with cool air and supercharger whine pouring through the windows. Instead, I got 3 hours of stop-and-go traffic on the expressway each way, and most of the mountain roads behind a...

Wow, can't believe that was over a year and a half ago...

Over here, it's a regulated substance, but there is a process to procure it in small volumes (99.9% pure stuff, plastic bags and straws not included).

The handbook doesn't say anything about mixing Toluene (C7H8). Any thoughts or experiences?

Yeah, thanks for taking the time. I am just looking for ways to pass cables through the firewall. Good luck and keep the pictures coming, this thread is really a treasure chest of visual information!

OH NO, WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!

Sounds like the quote is for when you are going bill the transporter for damage. Try asking how much an out of pocket repair/respray would cost. One of these days, you're going to scrape it yourself anyway....

Thank you for the picture. I agree, the removable metal plate makes sense, although it increases the number of bolts... Is this near the "blank grommet" folks are using to pass the OBD2 cable for the JB4 piggyback unit? From what I am reading on that thread, it seems to exist near the bottom...

Exciting. It's not often that you get to see details like this. If possible, could you please post pictures of the firewall taken from the left side of the car? Specifically, I'd like to see where the hole / grommet leading through the firewall is located (circled in green). Thanks!

Done!

Hourly rate + transport (from LCI to body shop) looks about right. No complaints. Everyone, take utmost care when backing into parking spaces !!! :LOL:

I have it on my RHD car too. Removing the license plate didn't fix it, and installing a towhook didn't make it worse either. It could be with the section of the bumper oscillating at idle RPMs at a certain frequency that the sensor doesn't like. I haven't tried adding sound deadening sheets...

Anyone interested? Mid to late September? 9月中旬？敬老の日連休の次の週末(20-21日)？ 東北道下り (Tohoku Expressway from Tokyo) 磐梯吾妻スカイラインを 1.5 往復 (back and forth on the Bandai Azuma Skyline) 米沢市内を通って白布温泉泊 (stay the night at Shirabu Onsen) 西吾妻スカイバレー (県道2号 米沢猪苗代線) (West Azuma Skyvalley) 東北道上り (Tohoku Expressway to...

I'd say you will need to raise the front end too. With just the rear lifted, removal / reattachment of the metal panel under the engine bay will be difficult, especially the reattachment. You're going to have to support the weight of the panel and fasten the millions of bolts WITH ARMS...

Just a wild idea, but could some sort of ventilation help? A fan on the inside, or vents to the cabin?

Any way to replace that cracking/popping with a WindowsXP startup sound?

Great British weather !

I'd love to go, but it's on a weekday and also a 5 hour drive from Tokyo. Hope some Emira owners can participate and upload footage!

Somebody's going to have to develop "artificial paint blister wrap" to make it look authentic.

Just hoping a third party will come out with more conventional materials for post-warranty (out of pocket) replacements. Carbon fiber door panels, anyone?

Thanks for the idea. I just ordered a mini-gnome for next time !

ちなみに、LCI 経由で 部品交換だと70万円弱 修理・再塗装だと40万円弱 修理のみだと... やってみないと分からない万円 です。

The mesh part of the lower rear bumper (including parking sensors and exhaust tips) is just glued into the gloss black trim. Once this bond is broken, you will need to find a way to reattach the whole thing, or get a new assembly and have it painted...

Removed some unneeded weight from the diffuser.

You should have it by winter !

Hot summer day at Shinagawa wharf in Tokyo.

How long have you had the car? Should be due for new tires anyway, right?

Where there's a will...
