    Fixing a flat tire

    If you're at home (safe place to work on the car) why not plug it yourself for now? You won't have to worry about dealing with a mobile guy.

    How to rate my vintage-styled Emira?

    I didn't think white would look so nice on Dark Verdant !

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Did some rudimentary measurements. Consistent with what I saw last year, or 10,000km ago.

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Just got the AD09s fitted and drove about 10km home. Feels fine for city driving, even quick 90 degree bends :cool: New rubber is always better than 2 year old brittle tires, and I know I would be more comfortable in the rain with these. However, the braking on dry summer asphalt feels softer...

    How are you cleaning inside the rear bumper vents?

    I don't even bother cleaning them - consider them part of the wheelhouse lining.

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Quick update and findings regarding my tire purchasing experience: Many (probably most) tire shops will not be able to handle the Emira in their facilities. The front lift points are so far inside towards the center of the car, that the arms of their lifts cannot reach them. Two post or four...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    I made this very intentional choice based on the usage of the Cup 2 LTS tires for the past year and a half that I've had the car. Not sure if I will be able to provide the kind of feedback you are looking for. The car is for grocery runs, cruising around the city, a few 500+ km trips and maybe...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    街乗りユース中心なので、今回は AD09 を入れてみよう!これが1-2年持ってくれれば次はディーラーで Cup 2 LTS に戻るかも。交換作業はディーラーに持ち込まずに (予約も取りにくいし) タイヤメーカー直営店で交換してもらうことにしました。ホイールを丁寧に扱ってくれること、古いバランスウェイトをキレイに剝がしてくれることを強く希望します。 I will try on the AD09s at a local tire shop, and maybe return to the Cup 2 LTS rubber in a year or two.

    Too bad. Let us know when you have the car back! I understand. Perfectly. Yes, of course the dentist's appointment is higher priority. Please share pics! OK, so it looks like 10 Emiras tomorrow! For those approaching from Tokyo; set your sat nav to ノジマ三浦店 and turn north towards the cafe...
