    Anyone thought about painting the manual transmission gear shift lever?

    I'm planning to install an after-market black/red gear shift knob when the right one comes along and think a black gear shift lever would match well. I've seen some who have replaced the gear shift "gator" with a taller one, which covers up the "aluminum/metallic" gear shift lever below the...

    Raceseng Shifter Knobs

    Yes my thanks as well to crestima for the helpful advice. I saw elsewhere on the Forum, the OEM standard transmission Emira shift knob, is 46 mm (1.81") in diameter. That compares to the Raceseng Evora shift knobs that range from about 2" to 2.1", for any that I'd buy. My preferred Sphereology...

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

    I agree and on my second day of ownership, had a Ferrari (similar red color), zoom up beside me to check out my car, likely thinking it was a Ferrari, after viewing it from a distance. Regardless, the Emira has beautiful lines and I get admiring compliments almost every day.

    USA Emira Owners - Issue Severity Poll

    I've participated in this interesting survey, but I'm curious to know how many respondents have "early manufactured" Emira's, as opposed to ones that rolled off the production line at a much later date (like mine). My sense is that a lot of the early cars, had more glitches with many of those...

    Moving on...

    Encourage the buyer to join this Forum, if not already a member. I’m surprised at how many people don’t know about the wealth of helpful info this and other dedicated car Forums have, which can at times be a “life-saver” when dealers aren’t well informed, or when trying to save money or just...

    Cost for Oil Change?

    Imagine all the oil that’s not drained at these fast lube shops, where customer turn-over is everything. I don’t think you should feel guilty about your vehicle not draining properly since I suspect you’ll leave it long enough for at least the steady drip, to disappear. The new filter should...

    Cost for Oil Change?

    See my post #236 on a different but related thread: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/diy-oil-change-reference-for-2gr-fe.3281/ I changed my oil/filter using Canada's equivalent of "Rhino Ramps" but further elevated with a 2x4 frame I made (see photos I posted). I know others have done the...

    Custom MagSafe Wireless Charger

    Fortunately, I was able to reattach the power supply box w/o removing anything (ie. the glove box). It did involve some acrobatic-like moves I last did in my younger days, to reach up in a small space at an angle. Thanks for the additional directions: cleaning surfaces, pressure on the tape, and...
