What did you do to your Emira today?

Today I broke down at a stop light. Lots of metal clunky sounds from the transmission area. The car shifter can shift but car doesn’t engage any of the gears including reverse. So if I put it in 1st, and slowly pull out the clutch the car won’t move.

We had to push the car to the position it’s in now.

Hopefully this isn’t a bad repair. And is covered by the warranty

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?".

"You can't park there, sir"

Sucks to hear, but hopefully you're well taken care of by your dealer

Someone also yelled that as the car was being loaded onto a tow truck

Gave the Emira a wash and then installed the puddle lights I got from Taobao. Looks awesome. Such a good mod for $30

Note: I intially installed these lights with the text facing the opposite direction (because it only fits one way) which looked funny so I had to pull the harness tightly (the harness has virtually no slack) so I can get more slack and rotate the connector.

May I ask how you got the factory puddle lights out? Do you have to remove door panel or simply just pry out the existing lights? If the latter, which side of the light you pry out first? (Front towards the head of car or back?). Thanks

You just have to pry it out with a panel remover tool or a screwdriver. I’m memory serves me right. I started from the front as the back of the light has the connection. But it doesn’t really matter which side you take off first

Thanks. Was able to do this. Have the same light you install but is your new one kind of loose? Mine doesn't slot in perfectly. Is yours loose and/or did you have to do something to fix it?

No, mine wasn’t loose it fit nicely but I heard other forum members get loose ones. I think I remember them saying the crumbled up something around the trim so it fit more tightly.

Met up with another i4 owner yesterday after another drive down to Santa Cruz (trying to get through break in ASAP) but then I went up Hwy 1 to Pacifica for the meet. Nice to get a chance to drive an i4 with sport suspension and cup 2.

Washed it Saturday (I mention this every time I do, as I hate doing it) Then went for a 350mile drive Sunday.
Turns out I should not have bothered washing it, as its now as dirty as it was before I washed it.
The 350 miles were at times great, at other frustrating as hell. Why do idiots insist on doing 40mph everywhere, including in 30mph villages. And when you do overtake them, they flash their lights at you, as if saying "How dare you". The state of the UK roads is deplorable, potholes everywhere, even on what are supposedly major A-Roads. minor A-roads and B-roads, are still fun to drive, assuming you dont end up behind the aforementioned 40mph numb-nuts.
Drive back was all dual carriageway, as in a hurry to get back, but damn Sunday evening traffic is bad.

Had a picture of my car made into a metal wall art poster

If I had a picture of my car like that, I'd have had the same done. Brilliant photo
Just in case it has not been asked already, where was it taken?
