My mistake. I replied with the VIN you requested and then didn't hear back so I thought you weren't interested. Looking back, I should have followed up more. I'd been too busy with the move recently and didn't pay enough attention. If you're still interested, the car should still be at the...

Sold to CarMax for $2000. Farewell friends. It's been fun.

Hey guys, I'm moving from Atlanta suburbs to downtown Chicago and planning to go car-free, so my beloved I-Miev is for sale. 2012 I-MIEV SE JA3215H10CU021118 About 55k miles White exterior, brown interior OEM Alloy Wheels + aftermarket MINI alloy wheels 2 keys + remote OEM charging cable with...

The first picture on that post shows the oem stud vs the aftermarket stud after cutting vs before cutting. You can get a pretty good idea of the length from that. I think some of the confusion comes from whether the specified length is for the entire stud or just for the threads. The oem studs...

Yes, I ordered 2 sets, but that would only leave me with 4 extra studs if I can still find them. It does look like they are not longer sold on amazon, but I found them here on ebay...

You can stay with stock studs on the rears but you won't be able to use spacers so your tires would be 10mm inward from where they should be. I don't know how significant the effects would be on the handling if you do this. If you want, I guess you could try it and see?

$200/yr here in GA. It's higher than it really should be to compensate for gas tax revenue.

Here's a photo of the mini wheels with 8mm spacers and the longer studs before they were cut. I haven't really tried the open-ended lug nuts with the mini wheels after cutting the studs, but I'd guess they wouldn't really stick out much at all, maybe 0-3 ridges. It's really needed if I want to...

Only the rears need to be cut for clearance issues. I cut them all to the same length so I can use the OEM lug nuts, which are closed-ended. I tried looking for shorter studs, all i could find were these and the oem ones.

If you don't cut the studs, there might be clearance issues with installing them in the rear. I think maybe the back of those drum brakes get in the way. You might have to remove the rear wheel hubs somehow to install the studs. You'll also need to use those open ended lug nuts.

I've had the continentals on for almost 20k miles now, and I don't have any complaints (except it would be nice if they were cheaper :D ). They seem to be a bit less efficient so the range may be down slightly, but the tires seem to last longer. My OEM dunlops were done at 20k miles, and these...

I haven't tried 175/55R15 up front myself, but I suspect it would fit. But you also need to find a matching rear tire size that keeps a similar size ratio between front and rear. The sizes I used were the only pair I could find that maintains the right ratio and is available in the same tire...

Yes, 10mm spacers all around to restore original offset and clear front struts, longer studs (cut to custom length), and also I'd recommend open-ended lug nuts so you can still swap back to stock wheels. A few months ago I clipped a really nasty pothole in a bad way and damaged the 2 wheels and...

Here's another option. 15x5.5 mini cooper wheels 165/60R15 fronts with 175/65R15 Rears:

it's just a sales tactic to get you in the door so they can push a sales pitch on you. bait for the weak willed. you can go check it out if you'd like but be prepared for some hard sales tactics.

I once suggested lotus elise oem wheels. 16x5.5in fronts with 17x7.5in rears. I think it might work but I don't know that anyone has tried it. I'm running 15x5.5in mini cooper wheels all around. Takes some work but I managed to get it to work.

Hi everybody, My main traction battery was replaced about 6 months ago under warranty, and yesterday I found this bolt in the trunk area under the carpet. I suppose the mechanic must have forgotten to install this bolt back to wherever it came from when they were putting my car back together...

The recalls only take a hour or two. Loaners are given at the dealer's discretion so you can ask but I don't think they would give you one. If your car really needed to be in the shop for days, then push back on getting a loaner and call Mitsubishi if necessary.

That's not gonna work. The adjustment screws just move the light pattern up/down/left/right without changing the pattern. The inspector will still see the same pattern and fail you. You need to flip the pattern left/right. The light thrown up and outwards is supposed to light up signs on the...
