Re: Porsche Boxster 986 Tesla conversion [FINISHED]

Welcome to forum spiff.

I'm planning on also following suit on a 987 Boxster.

Currently just enjoying the car as it is though, with plans to get going on the EV conversion within the next year.

Re: Newb question on GS450H

You would have to trick the ICE ECU by feeding it fake values such as engine temp.
It's more for a software challenge than anything else.
I can't recall anyone having done this as yet.
Project Lexi was meant to be just this but it never got completed as far as I know (damn you Covid!).

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK

Yes, @zippy500, so basically what DVLA are saying is "Thank you for letting us know that the car is now fully electric, we have made a note of that but unfortunately, we can't change the taxation class (of post 2001 vehicles I assume). So you will have to continue paying road tax at the same ba...

Re: Nissan Leaf Powered E46 Touring

I was once asked by a friend to look at "an oil leak" on one of these. I got it on my ramps started looking around and found it was leaking from many many locations. I did not fancy tackling the job of fixing all the leaks. That undertray cover thing looked totally black, when I jet spraye...

Oh dear, that must have been really frustrating but at least it was an OEM part that failed and nothing EV related.

If you haven't considered it already it would be well worth you booking yourself on a New Electrics EV course. Gain first-hand knowledge direct from the experts.
