Here's a business opportunity that needs solving, unless one of you've already found the right vendor. At least in the good 'ol USA, there is no significant discount to insure extra vehicles, even if you have more vehicles than drivers in a household. So in my current situation with only...

@patrick_star the downside of these monster tires is noticeably reduced torque and the attendant acceleration and hill-climbing ability. I recently picked up an ex-Uhaul tow dolly, so will be able to start taking the Baja MiEV to more challenging terrain, and we'll see what the optimal tire...

Thanks to All who are offering and doing heart transplants! @colonellh don't give up on finding a home for your young battery. Shipping out west is pricey, but there's gotta be some midwesterners interested in renewing their MiEVs. @WhyMiev, I have several young transaxles, but again...

BrunoJ, I'll grant you that the i-MiEV would be outperformed by a 'proper 4x4' in snow, but I've found few 2WD vehicles that can match it when fitted with proper winter tires!

@tomhanman, that's awesome, and Kenny is da man! Thanks for your ongoing support. I know that the @Timh project is in Oz, but as I keep getting purchase offers that are way below the value of parts for the BlackAdder, here's a reminder that in addition to the good 29 Ah runner, I have sEVeral...

I have good salvaged heaters available for sale, and yes, they're interchangeable with the Transit Connect Electric. I used my first salvaged i-MiEV heater to replace the failed unit an a Transit Connect Electric at least 6 years ago. Most of the 12V heaters are barely sufficient for...

Something is unusual about our 2012 TPMS. Even though it’s supposedly the standard 400 MHz, multiple tire shops fail to see ‘em, and when they finally do, only the dealer can synch new sensors to the car. I’d like to find the right tool, as I use winter wheels on 3 cars, and spend nearly half...

I can send you a good OBC for $1400, and am loving these warranty-replaced packs! I acquired two this summer, and even as the mornings dip to 40 F, RR is typically 76 miles!

Plz send your offer , KangaRod, I can ship it Monday

I’ve got it, @KangaRod plz pm your offer

Agreed- our original 12V battery had traditional screw-on vent caps. I'd be surprised if any of those are still holding on, though our DC-DC was very kind to them.

I’m resurrecting a classic thread because, as I’ve long wanted to be just like Joe when I grew up, I’ve also just hatched a Tesla! The incubation may have been longer, but I’m optimistic that the bargain is better! There are many used model S down in the $15,000 range now, so I sought out a...

I just read this thread. Thanks to Mickey and Joe S, but it appears you scared away Kimi and we may never know whether he’s planning to put an alternator on a tire or a windmill on the bumper! Seriously though, I’ve done the APU genset thing, and it worked fine with a simple converted EV...

Isn't there somebody performing the OZ DIY upgrades in Europe or a breaker in the UK to provide CMU 09? I'm 8 time zones away and have been keeping my old packs intact in hope of high capacity rebuilds. @alviseven if you want to risk the shipping cost, I guess I could crack a pack for you...

Thx for the mirror order Patrick. Folks, I’m pulling more parts this weekend, and have the aluminum donut spares from Gen 1 Honda Insight that fits both front and rear, as well as OEM steelies and alloys, front or rear. Please PM preferences and your price offer. -Jay

Hi @Rational, I’m using the original head units in my cars, but also have a couple from the cars I’ve salvaged.

These head units do not display TPMS or any vehicle diagnostics, but they nEVer lose the Real Time Traffic feature of navigation, they record every CD you've EVer played on the music hard drive, and have a better backup camera than the Nissan Leaf. If you have a tiny reverse camera hidden next...

Yes, I have a spare ready to ship, and would accept an offer less than this one! https://ingenext.ca/products/mitsubishi-i-miev-display-multivision-8750a322 howEVer, if your car didn't originally come with the nav unit, it'll be very difficult to add, as the wiring harness is much more complex...

Thanks for such a detailed procedure, @kamikadzzze and your English was just fine, though I got a kick out of "santimeter". That sounds like an appeal to adopt the metric system. "We prefer Sanitymeters!"

@jacques2, I wouldn't recommend a 2012 MiEV for your mission unless it got a battery replacement. I have a 50 mile round trip commute, so EVen our car that's down to 29 AH capacity has no trouble with the winter one-way trip, and I can return home after as little as an hour on L2 at work, but...
