Having the reduced accel msg n rpm limited to 4k.... drove in 95F + weather up the mountain n it's happened 2x...it goes away after cooling n restart the engine...
What is the final fix ?
Good to know, as a reference....
If you have a lift, oil change on emira is quite easy tho.... most pain in the rear thing was removing the under tray... 😆
Which btw collects quite a bit of road debris so, good to drop the rear diffuser down n clean that mess off once in a while ...
So, I just changed my oil at 950 miles n with car at 1010 miles and 3rd cat delete pipe n miltek valve ctrl installed, drove up the mountain, lake arrowhead. In so cal.... I did drive spirited....hitting redline a few times n hitting triple digits before corners, etc..
Any ways, the car...
Oh, btw.... how can you just turn the car ON, without starting thr engine ? You know, if I just want to relax under a shade with radio ON, etc...
Help...
Ok.....so, if I want it to start in full open mode, setting #1, then as the car is running, what do I do exactly ?
I just want the car to start at fully open mode n stay that way .... unless I change to full close #3 ,IF n when I want to...say driving down my neighborhood.... BUT, next time...
I'm at 1k miles..... I've had car not start after it was unlocked 4x so far.... had to turn alarm on/lock the car....I sat it it....then unlocked...opened the door,then tried to start..... some times it starts, sometimes I had to repeat the cycle 3x bfr it would start..... annoying but never...
For me.... I have multiple garage queens n they get driven any where 500 to 2000 miles per year and I get so busy with life that I would change the oil on them maybe once every 2 to 3 yrs ? I do try to start em n run em around for 20 minutes or so every 1 to 2 months tho...including turning...
Uh...slightly difficult for me to understand the 2nd part due to the syntax... I got the first part... I pressed #1 for 10 seconds so it will always start with fully open mode all the time.... which I prefer.
Now, On the 2nd functionality, if you press a mode button 5x in 5 seconds, it will...
Hi, installed the miltek.... I noticed on mine, #1 is fully open but #2 & #3 are reversed.... #2 =oem setting #3 is always closed....
Q: I held 10 sec on #1 so that it's always open .... but how do I get out of that mode.... so I can goto full closed #3 ( for me) when I want to.... ?

Ughh..tried n paint went all over n cleaning attempt just smeared it more... fck... I ll do a clear lacquer or super glue on top but clear probably easier to clean up then super glue...
true, yes... i was just surprised that the oil came out almost golden , as new.... albeit , yah ,i can't see the detailed contaminants, etc but....
i thought it 'd be at least somewhat dirty....lol...

i usually change my new car oil at 1k miles .... i just did the emira at 950 miles and was quite surprised at how clean the oil was vs my other new cars i did in the past...
anyway, it was simple to do at home and gave me piece of mind... the filter had no visible particles either....
i will...
ive used those before... i just worry that the threads sticks out a bit above the oil pan and that i may not get 'full drain'.... it's just easier to just take the drain plug out.... the oil empties quicker and more fully imo.... it does not save much time nor makes it any particularly easier...
good info.... it looks like ceratec was one of the least harmful ....lol.... did add some moly so...
i did notice the older cars get a bit more smoother and quieter on adding it...
what I really liked the best in the past was a very high concentration PTFE product that a co in san bern , ca...
it was off amazon.....
M12x1.25 magnetic oil drain plug 7075
they come in different colors
i think the 1.25 size is ideal for the emira
sorry i couldn't just put a direct link...not too savvy on that stuff....
Hi , I'm thinking of changing the color of the valve cover to yellow...
What is the most ideal technique... paint ? Powder coat ? Anodized ??
If I take the valve cover off, I'd there a gasket I need to get, to replace the cover ?
And I'd probably have to sand down or polish the lettering...
I measured some sound levels....
On stock exh.... using SPL Meter set at dB C to account for low frequency sound, at about 10ft from exh tips....
Oem cold start 86dB C
Sport mode 93 dB C
After 3rd Cat Delete, with exh valves fully open, cold start 91dB
n upto 105 dB at 4k...
I just installed the 3rd cat delete bypass n miltek valve controller.... was not too difficult.... grp had a good instruction sheet so.....
I did my 1st oil change too at 950 miles....oil looked almost new.... any way,definitely get the gasket.... mine was bad on removal of the cat....
On the...
