Wow Dom, sorry to hear that! I have sEVeral i-MiEV packs ready for stationary storage projects, but I'm guessing that you're in Europe. I'd enjoy continuing your project. Solax does not have much of a market presence in the USA, but their one dealer in the Western US, Emporia is a reputable...

Here's a purple 2012 with 59k miles that was a donation to charity, only damage appears to be cosmetic on the driver's door. Anybody got a daughter ready for her first sacrificial victim? :roll: https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/38676069~US?itemID=51786912

Great photos from your Wayback Machine, PV1! 👍

PM Sent- luckily Don and I are in the same area!

I believe a gear shuddering issue is actually fairly common, but under different circumstances. I can induce it pretty reliably by shifting into D while still slowly rolling backwards, or from a standstill if I 'blip the throttle', or depress and quickly release the accelerator and then push it...

Starting a new thread, as though I rarely want to to spoil a hidden gen in online auctions, I'm happy to serve as spoiler to the salvage yards! If you're in the LA area and want some alloy wheels, this burned out i-MiEV with good wheels ought to sell for less than the price of wheels. (Fire...

Unfortunately our pack does not have quick-connect fittings like the LEAF and most other cars, and there's no separate output for the heater. Get out your insulated 10 and 12 mm sockets if you want to tap the HV, and crack the pack if you want to do it 'upstream' of the contactors for full-time...

I'm beginning to suspect that the 2012 BMU is not fully compatible with the 2014 battery, as the reported Ah has not budged after 8 cycles. However, if anything it's running the battery more conservatively, and charging to 4.11 VPC with 54 to 60 miles of range is ideal for MR BEAN's mission...

The 2014 pack went in easy with no keying of the data harness connectors, and immediately started delivering new-ish performance, with sustained 45 kW on the first DCFC, very well-balanced cells, and RR that climbed from 29 to 60 over the first few cycles. HowEVer, the reported Ah capacity...

MR BEAN is just shy of 141k miles and flashed the turtle under heavy load this week while at 50% SOC, a sure sign of a weak cell. Sure enough , the capacity that measured 35 Ah only 7k miles ago is now down to 27.9 Ah and the voltage differential between the highest and lowest cell grew to...

We all deserve a self-induced dope slap when wrenching. Sorry to not mention the lateral rod.

Hi yashoor, another dweller of the wierd city is coming up to Tacoma for parts this weekend, but I don’t wanna pull my hitch. Being a Torklift, it is vastly overbuilt and makes a great jacking point, plus I can hang my miev up to dry! PM an addy for photos- too painful to post here!

I use these, which add dead weight but silence the rattle...

Discharged to 10% and fully recharged in a single L1 session, and no change in BMU data- still 29.1 Ah. 🙄

Thanks for that reminder, Mickey , and will do. My other i-MiEV get 100% recharges daily and fairly frequent excursions to two bars or less, but a crashed creampuff like this one or any used car one acquires may not have received that recalibration treatment in quite a while!

Sure, I have the rear headrests and nice seats overall. Please post or PM your offer and shipping location.

Parts car #3 arrived this week, and for once as advertised, it runs and drives! It's a 2012 SE Premium with satnav, DCFC, heated seat, the works. Funny thing, it's silver, and I just sold my good front bumper valence to Brooks! But EVen though this car only has 24,000 miles, the battery has...

Let's Make that "Parting Out 3 Cars" The silver hood is gone, along with bumper, radiator assembly and headlamps, but another silver car with a good looking hood should be delivered this week! (no front bumper cover, though). Once again I will have EVery i-MiEV part available (other than that...

I’m not sure what you mean, so sent the PM invitation to call. The manual at http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/i-miev/online/Service_Manual/2013/27/html/M127100330068601ENG.HTM Is decent, and if you already removed the driveshaft/output shaft out of the transmission, removing it from the wheel hub...

My dad did just that with a DeltaMax battery running space heaters in the car, and the extra snow traction from that battery weight was more appreciated than sandbags. I ran the numbers a decade ago, and a pound of 180 degree water (82 C) was worth more BTU than a pound of i-MiEV battery, but...
