Man, that really sucks. At this point, you deserve a new thread entirely dedicated to you, entitled something like "What the f#~!&#ck did the Emira do to @Six Speed Stephen today?".

It all depends on which and how many bolts you intend to swap to the stainless steel ones. As I mentioned in my previous post, I changed them all and began by ordering the bolt sizes and quantities based on the specs shown in the service manual's diagrams of the diffuser and under trays (shown...

The previously identified underbelly frame is sturdy and stiff enough to allow lifting the car at essentially any point on that beam, but because there's significantly more weight bias to the rear due to the engine's location, I generally place my low profile lift, along with my adapted...

Yes, that's it.

I also found some, albeit not that many, rusting bolts when I removed my under trays, so I undertook to replace ALL bolts (and only a couple clips) with Stainless Steel ones. I did this not only because of rust prevention, but also because I didn't care for the looks of OEM Frankenstein bolts...

That looks like the clutch pedal stop. If you peak at the top of the clutch pedal arm where it comes in contact with a small metal back plate (as it's fully depressed), you should find a small hole where that plastic bump piece plugs in to. Incidentally, I replaced mine some time ago with a...

Hi @Brokenblinker, You may already know this, but the Emira has a very strong aluminum beam with a middle sunken groove going around the bottom frame with the lift points identified by a re-enforced aluminum plate on each corner. However, you can essentially use any part of that surrounding...

Hi Hal. I'm not sure I follow the logic of this mod, and perhaps I'm not understanding your explanation. If you're trying to avoid being blinded by others' strong headlights, by covering that rearview mirror sensor, aren't you effectively canceling out the dimming feature? Wouldn't this make...

Thanks to you both. I kind of suspected that to be the case. Hopefully, someone else on the forum that has the netting like mine and has experience with its removal can provide some input. Not a priority, but just something I would do, if there's no collateral visual damage.

Hi FST. Looks nice and clean. Btw, I noticed that you don't have the passenger side footwell storage net. Did your Emira come without it or did you remove it? I prefer the clean look and I'm actually thinking of removing mine to clean things up a bit particularly since it's never used anyway...

Hi Folks, Following the recent successful outcome of the Emira owners' Jacksonville meeting, we have now firmed up plans for a South Florida area event. @Chriscpm has recommended an ideal spot and agreed on the date, Saturday March 1st at 10:00am at the Twin Peaks Sports Bar in Doral, Florida...

Here are some useful materials and tools that I used which you can consider getting (all available on Amazon) should you not already have them. I used this to poke a guiding marker hole on the small plastic tabs of the tweeter housing in the A-pilar trim. Since it's a small tab it will help...

I just recently parted with my 2017 911 Carrera S Tiptronic, which I had owned since new. I also own an MX-5 ND manual, soft top (still have it and intend to keep). The 911 was a great car ownership experience for me and so was my first Porsche, a Boxster S, and none of the two ever gave me a...

Hi @Rapture, I've copied & pasted your message below tofacilitate answering your questions (in blue) to follow the sequence... Thanks, Crestima, and @KJWEmira I am getting ready to begin the insulation of the door project. I've ordered the Second Skin that you used. I have the instructions...

I used 4 1/2 sheets on each door. I ordered a pack of 20 sq feet (10 sheets) on Amazon and had a little over 1 sheet left over. As I've tackled other projects for which I needed to remove certain parts like wheels, wheel/well trimming, 3rd Cat, muffler etc., I've gradually been placing sound...

I also debated between the A119 V2 Mini and Kenwood, but opted for the A119 due to its smaller size, physical buttons below the screen and most importantly, for me, because it is easily detached from its GPS base facilitating any needed occasional removal. Most others use the rotating ball base...

Good question, and I should have mentioned it. I did test one Alpine tweeter on the passenger side by tapping first into the midrange wires and then into the tweeter ones. For the test, I used T Tap connectors to avoid cutting, having to reconnect and minimize wire cover damage. And the...

PART 3 (Final) I used 1mm Second Skin Sound Deadning material placed firstly in the inside of the doors (not pictured) and then on the black door trim panel (pictured). The result was very similar to @KJWEmira's Seneca Blue previously posted pictures. Hopefully, you'll find these...

PART 2 I used solder seal connectors and about 10" of the crossover filters' end wires that came with the Alpine kit and since I didn't use the filters like @Chriscpm, these end wires were very handy since they already come with the end tab connectors to the tweeter wires. (Drivers side)...
