The nice thing about the OEM alloys is the great view inside. I looked with my calibrated eyeball and it looked like the scrub radius is around -4 inches +-1. So there is some room to spare for going more positive. My guess is +1 inch will be noticeable but not problematic. Maybe the new...

The new 14x4.5 Mirage wheels are the most interesting to me. However to not change the scrub radius they need 3mm spacers up front, which might not let them fit, even if the shock bracket is modified. Here is some good information about scrub radius...

What I like about that Amazon adapter is it's easy to add a filter in the middle. I wonder if we need it since there is no spark plug noise. Here is a good filter option if needed: BOSS Audio B25N Ground Loop Isolator Noise Filter...

The directions pdf link show to connect to pins 6,14,15 which conflicts with the 1st posts. Maybe that's why the sound had issues?

Here's a place that sells wheel spacers and longer lugs aka studs, in 5, 15, 20, and 25 mm: http://www.performancealloys.com/alloy-search-results.aspx?ModelID=5818&PCDID=33 and: http://www.ezaccessory.com/Hub_Centric_Wheel_Adapter_4_Lug_100_To_4_Lug_100_p/4100-4100hm.htm...

I suspect I will eat up these front's fast anyway, even though I'm slowing a lot more in the turns than usual. Preserving speed into corners should save some range! I want to going to the dealer to check my alignment and try to find out about the stud size (length, knurls etc). A 1" wider...

I just got my 2012 i-Miev and I really like it but I wish it handled as good as my 2002 VW Golf TDI, it feels like a lot of under steer. So I was looking into options to upgrade the front tires. This thread has some good information, but I want to add my 2 cents, wearing my engineer hat: Tire...

No GPS, BT... I must be mistaken, I have SE but maybe not premium. But my wife says the seats are much nicer than base.

I just purchased a perfect condition 2012 i-Miev that compliments my 2002 Golf TDI for all our (wife and I) driving needs. Most of my driving is city traffic now that I can justify and enjoy more the shorter slightly congested city traffic route instead of the longer often also congested...

I found some more information here: http://www.kaba-ilco.com/key-systems/media/566202/v2/File/2013-auto-truck-key-blank-reference.pdf "i-MIEV 2012-2013 All 3001-32009 EK3P-MIT17 or RW4 Plus, Ilco EZ®-Clone Plus or Plus Box Service Key X224/MIT3 Philips Encrypted (46) System 288 EK3LB-MIT14*...

How was 1/2kW quiescent power measured? Something is not adding up. I put that into my xlsx file and now the 220km record does not match at all. 1/2kW sounds like a lot to me. Where is all that heat going, to do what? The ecu and cooling fans should be much less than 1/2kW. I assumed a...

Here is the wetransfer ...imiev.xlsx file link: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/bc85775b1e7d7ed9cea80bdb66407a0420140813041419/e33f0f1bf029c43df84e38e7bcb76dba20140813041419/f93a2a

I matched test data without including coulombic efficiency. Also I assumed no auxiliary power as in the equations here: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/8bfswqy3rm So I match the link you provided except at low speeds I don't due to ignoring auxiliary power. My spreadsheet is easy to...

I'm looking seriously to buy an i-Miev as a 2nd car to share with my wife. It compliments my VW TDI mega range. So I put together a spreadsheet which correctly calculates range versus speed, and has other nice related info also... I was going to attach it but I found this in the FAQ: "Why...
