    '25 Emira for light, manual, mid-engine fun... and that little sense of danger on whether today's the day it, or the manufacturer, might leave you stranded. But just LOOK at it! :love: My Emira is the supermodel girlfriend you're sure can't last, but boy is she fun while it does! '24 Porsche...

    Taking my Emira to the Car Wash

    A de-ionizer is a MUST for any car enthusiast to properly wash at home unless you have miraculously low Total Disolved Solids in your water. I have very hard well water where I live and a single wash without using my de-ionizer starts an impossible to remove layer of bone (calcium) spots on the...

    I hit a deer. Can anyone recommend a NorCal or PNW body shop?

    More accurately, the deer hit me from the side as I was coming around a corner on a country road this evening doing about 45mph. The first I saw was a flash of antlers as they smashed the windshield. I turned around and drove back excepting to find a dying animal in the road, but it was off to...

    "Engine Reduced Acceleration" error message

    Mine is a 2025 V6 Manual. I got the reduced engine power /4K ROM limit again tonite, along with a new error: "ESC service required". It was a relatively cool 80F night, and I'd only been driving for about 10 minutes mostly on the freeway. As before, I stopped, turned the car off and back on...

    Squeaky drivers seat!

    @jp129 I also used the rubber edging you mentioned off Amazon. My seat squeak was rare but I haven't heard it in the first few drives. Edging looks factory. Thanks for the great tip!

    Windshield washer

    Thank you! It's interesting how they just hang the line from another line with clips. And I think that's probably why it falls off. I found it, and it's black line. Got reconnected and since it also was not obviously near any clips, I just duct taped it to the top of the washer fluid...

    Windshield washer

    I just had a similar problem last night. Washer fluid was out. No error message. So I filled it up with Rain-X brand (orange colored) washer fluid. It didn't immediately start working, so I went for a drive and tried many times to use the fluid. Nothing came out. So I stopped the car in...

    "Engine Reduced Acceleration" error message

    Same here. 95F day, idling in a drive thru for about 10 minutes, got the 4K limit pulling out. 200F coolant temp. Stopped and restarted the car, all clear.

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    Same thing just happened to me after 2500 miles. Did 2 30 minute drives with no issue, then at the end I was idling in a drive thru line for 10 minutes on a 95F day and I got the "reduced acceleration" message and 4K limit getting back on the road. Engine read 200F, so it wasn't too hot...

    GRP Short Shifter Install Notes and My thoughts

    I agree with everything you said here about the OEM feeling "truck like" and clunky, as evidently the shifter is the same taken from a Toyota truck? I don't think I've ever been able to "slam" into gears with the OEM shifter. One of the Emira owners on EveryDay Driver's YT channel's comments...

    GRP Short Shifter Install Notes and My thoughts

    That makes total sense, thanks. It's just something I hadn't thought of when installing this short shifter kit. On my son's WRX we had a Subaru OEM short shifter installed after purchase, and it was the entire shifter assembly. I was surprised the GRP was such a tiny mod in comparison, but it...

    GRP Short Shifter Install Notes and My thoughts

    Big thanks to all here on this very helpful thread! My son & I installed the @GRP short-throw the other day, and it would have been a bear without all these community tips! We installed it in the factory (longest) throw position, and the tips on marking the original position of the linkage and...

    Everyday Driver - Road trip Emira vs GT4

    Watching Todd on that channel get his Magma red Emira and do their first road trip video solidified my decision to buy one. Non-starting problem he had and all. Those guys have a love for cars, ICE manuals in particular, and made me realize that era is coming to an end and it was "last call"...

    3rd Cat Delete on Emira – Is the Milltek Valve Controller Really Necessary?

    Related question: does anyone know if the vehicle can still pass a state smog check with the 3rd cat deleted? It seems a popular option, and I'm not sure if the 3rd cat was only needed for EU emissions? If it can't pass, what is your plan when a smog check becomes necessary to renew registration?

    That image is labeled "Evora". I know the Emira chassis is very similar to the Evora, but I wouldn't assume that's a rollbar. All passenger cars have to meet rollover standards, but rollbars are usually in addition to the stock car's rollover protection.
