    Wheels, Rims, and Tires

    Question for all those wearing out the front tires quickly. Do they wear evenly? Or is the outside shoulder worn first? I looked up the alignment spec in the service manual and the camber is zero! That's bad for front end grip. According to a number of articles I read, a small amount of...

    Range extender !

    If I had the time I would take a salvage WRX250 250cc water cooled motorcycle or something similar and convert it to a mini version of the VW pusher.

    TPMS Thread

    I'm thinking of going this way after I get the new tires on my 14" insight wheels and a fobo system. More about that later on the wheels and tires thread... Is there a sound also or is it just the light? I don't remember hearing it at all. I got a long nail in my tire. I wish the TPMS was...

    TPMS Thread

    Too bad the caniOn Android App on Google Play does not read TPMS. I am considering getting the Fobo Bluetooth Tire Pressure Monitoring system. http://www.gizmag.com/fobo-bluetooth-tire-pressure-monitoring-system/33754/ https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOTIRE But at $175 it's pricey...

    Tire rack request This is not available in the US. I only checked the size you mentioned. Is it available in the size for the front also? Maybe if enough people express interest we can get Tire Rack to order a small quantity. We can do a Tire Rack request...

    Customisation functions

    I saw a $125 MUT3 on ebay. Not sure how good it is, or if it's usable with the i-MieV, but I was wondering if it allows customizing some settings?

    There are big gains in range to be had from reducing wheel drag. Consider that the top of the wheel is moving at double speed. Extra power from drag rises with speed cubed. Look at the world's fastest bicycle competition for the optimum design.

    Wheels, Rims, and Tires

    JoeS, be careful going over the maximum load pressure. I got a staple in a rear tire and before getting it fixed I looked up your tire to see the price and psi rating. They are 51psi. That is the pressure the tire is best able to withstand the rated load with high ambient temperature...

    Charging cable pulled out when car started moving

    I leave my charger J1772 pistol grip in front of my house to avoid a lot of cable wear and tear and save time not putting it on a real. So that idea is not for me, otherwise I like that idea. My solution is a "board stop". I will screw two thin boards down to the concrete at my parking spot...

    Charging cable pulled out when car started moving

    Aha BMW were smarter with the i3! I could not find this thread until FiddlerJohn pointed it out, thanks. First note that I park and charge on my driveway with a moderate incline. I had not yet noticed the park lock flaw. My i-MiEV was plugged in. Due to the limited length of the OEM charger I...

    2013 Mitsubishi I Suggestions

    Overall I really enjoy driving the i-MiEV but I really want: From a stop, instant full torque acceleration without delay. Make it a sport mode so everyone is happy. Currently I have to anticipate the programmed in delays. The delays and slow starting acceleration is less safe when crossing...

    Charging cable pulled out when car started moving

    First note that I park and charge on my driveway with a moderate incline. I had not yet noticed the park lock flaw. My i-MiEV was plugged in. Due to the limited length of the OEM charger I have to back in. (The Nissan Leaf front charge port is a better design IMO.) Soon a new charger with a...

    Wheels, Rims, and Tires

    I wonder how much they weigh? Also has anyone had experience with ride quality over bumps with heavier than stock wheel/tire combinations? Range (except steady cruising) and acceleration are reduced also. Tire weight vary quite a bit when I looked on tirerack.

    Yes I was thinking the DC-DC could be used to connect PV's on the roof?

    Let the Hacking Begin

    We know that the i batteries life are best served by not always fully charging. So I am using a Titan Controls Day Night Photocontroller NYX1 to charge either at night or during the day. I would prefer a remote hack connected power controller that monitored total charge and stopped charge...

    Perhaps a kit without batteries could be offered at a lot lower price that would interest a few more buyers?
